We now give a brief introduction how easy our plugin for Unity can be implemented. We created a developer friendly SDK and the basic setup just takes about 2 minutes.

To get an APP and API key please signup on goedle.io.

1st step - Add the goedle_io Unity Package as Asset (download).

2nd step - Add “Goedle Loader" to your first scene.

3rd and last step - You have to fill your credentials, APP and API key in.

Afterward, you are ready to start and add the tracking points all over neuralgic positions in your Unity app.

We typically use two main variables to track an event. The first is the action, e.g., view, share, like these variables are the specific actions which are done by a user. The second variable further specifies the action e.g., product, intro, category, user. These two variables are concatenated and delimited with a .. Note however that a specifier is not mandatory and we also support hierarchies with more than two levels.

Furthermore, we offer a custom field event_id.

As an example, if you would want to track the view-event of a product, the event would be view, the specifier would be product and the event id 235123

If your event has a certain value, like a duration or a reached player level, we provide the custom field event_value.

The event name would be finish.level, the event id could be level-12 and the event value something like 65.

Where 65 would be the duration in seconds.

If you want to track a game state. We need additional preparation of your code. You need two global variables

    // Game state config
    private float nextActionTime = 0.0f;
    // 15.0f means a period of 15 seconds, this is complete sufficent to track a game state.
    public float period = 15.0f;

We have to add the periodical call to the Update() function.

void Update () {
// Your code ...
        if (Time.time > nextActionTime ) {
            nextActionTime += period;
            GoedleAnalytics.track ("game.state", "stamina", "15");
            GoedleAnalytics.track ("game.state", "mana", "40");
            GoedleAnalytics.track ("game.state", "level", "5");
            GoedleAnalytics.track ("game.state", "pvp", "true");
            GoedleAnalytics.track ("game.state", "joker", "78");
        }
}

Please name the event game.state, so it can be identified as such.

Add to the header of your class file

using goedle_sdk;

We have three different tracking signatures:

Tracking a single event.

GoedleAnalytics.track ("<event_name>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.track ("start.game");

Tracking a single event with an identifier.

GoedleAnalytics.track ("<event_name>", "<event_id>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.track ("reached.level", "level-2");

Tracking a single event with an identifier and a value.

GoedleAnalytics.track ("<event_name>", "<event_id>", "<event_value>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.track ("finish.round", "round_12", "65");

GoedleAnalytics.setUserId ("<unique_user_id>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.setUserId ("<player_777>");

If you don't set a user id, we create one for you. But, the automatically created user ids are only session based. This is done, because of privacy reasons.

!!! Information For now, we only support "first_name" and "last_name" as a trait and additional user information.

Please use "first_name" is, otherwise the first_name will not be recognized as a user information.

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("first_name", "<play_first_name>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("first_name", "Hans");

Please use "last_name" is, otherwise the last_name will not be recognized as a user information.

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("last_name", "<player_last_name>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("last_name", "Smith");

Please use "email" is, otherwise the email will not be recognized as a user information.

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("email", "<email_address>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.trackTraits ("email", "hans@gmail.com");

Please use "group" is, otherwise a group will not be recognized as a group.

GoedleAnalytics.track ("group", "<group_type>", "<group_name>");

Example

GoedleAnalytics.track ("group", "guild", "Moon Guard");
