Leaderboard Reset Time

I have missions in my game and they will have their end time specified in epoch seconds in title data.

- I want my leaderboard to reset at this given end time. How can that be done?

- Also in leaderboard we can set weekly as reset frequency. But I might want it to reset weekly based on when I resetted it. If I reset it on wednesday 4 am then it should reset on next week wednesday 4 am. Can this be done?

PlayFab does not support resetting the leaderboard at a given end time. In this case, you may need to reset it manually from a custom server of your own: Manually resetting a statistic.

This can be done using the Scheduled tasks feature PlayFab offers:

  1. The type of the task is a Cloud Script Azure Function that resets the leaderboard, and, the reason for using Azure Function is that the IncrementPlayerStatisticVersion API is a Admin API and legacy Cloud Script does not support making Admin calls.
  2. Schedule the task at 4 am every Wednesday using Cron expression.

Could you provide an example code to reset leaderboard via cloud script which can be executed as scheduled task?

So when does it get reset by default. Is on Sunday?

The reset periods are:

  • Never: Stop versioning the statistic on a time-based basis.
  • Hour: Version the statistic at the top of every Hour (XX:00 UTC).
  • Day: Version the statistic at midnight (00:00 UTC) every Day.
  • Week: Version the statistic at midnight (00:00 UTC) every Monday.
  • Month: Version the statistic at midnight (00:00 UTC) on the first day of every Month.
