How to log the average time spent on each level?

Somehow I want to see in a graph the average amount of time users are spending on each level. I did this by logging a custom event called 'LevelTime' and it has the parameters 'LevelName' and 'Time'. This is logging appropriately. But I cannot figure out how to set this up in the dashboard. I can get it to either show the count of each level, or the average of times submitted for every level. But I cannot figure out how to make it show the average time of each level.

Is there someway to do this?

Or do I need to submit each level as a different custom event?

 

Hi @techmage,

If the levels in your game are sequential, players can only play level 2 after completing level 1, I believe the best way for you to view this data would be to create a funnel where each step fills upon the completion of the corresponding level. Ex. Step 1 fills when a player sends your event with LevelName = 1.

Then on the Funnel Analyzer page you should be able to view the averages of all numerical parameters for that event by selecting 'Parameters Overview' and picking your step.

Here is some more information about funnels, https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/analytics/intro-to-funnels
and here is a link to another forum posts where some more funnel examples will be added in the future, http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/funnel-examples.365978/

I hope this helps!

 

The levels aren't sequential. The player can start on or play the levels in any order.

 

Hi @techmage,

As of right now you are not able to filter out parameters this way, but it is something we are fully aware would be extremely helpful. Since your levels are not sequential, yes, I believe the best way to go about this is to send a unique Custom Event for each level name. As an example, something like,

Analytics.CustomEvent( "LevelName", new Dictionary{ { "time", ## } } );

 

Could you elaborate?

 

You would want to send a custom event with the information that you require, likely by keeping a timer running in the game. Then you would use Raw Data Export (a Pro-only license feature) to download your events into your own database for further processing. https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-u...ries-with-Unity-Analytics-and-Raw-Data-Export
