I would like to know when resetting leaderboards reset.
I assume it is midnight in some part of the world but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in the docs so far. Ideally I would like to be able to pull down a "time till reset".
It would also be handy if I was able to make a cloud script function run when it happens.
Thanks for any info!
Umm, sorry about the double text here. I did the post again because I couldn't tell if it had been posted, and now it seems to have combined the two. You are not seeing double.
Currently, the leaderboard resets at 00:00 UTC at the indicated period (daily, weekly, etc.). For hourly, of course, it's at XX:00 (every hour). We do plan to offer more options around this in future, but what specifically do you have in mind that you wanted to do in Cloud Script, so that we understand your use case?
Sorry about the delay I replied to this a while ago but it seems that sometimes my posts get eaten by forum gremlins.
Ok so my use case would be:
The game has a daily challenge based on a seed value. It has a daily leaderboard for that challenge. I want everybody to be playing with the same seed, and to know exactly when that challenge expires.
So Ideally, when the leaderboard resets, it would call script that would set the seed and any other details for that challenge in the title data.
When a player starts the game they would call another cloudscript, that would return info for that challenge, name, seed, whatever else, plus a time stamp for when that challenge expires.
So how much of that is possible?
Thanks!
@Brendan Seems my post didn't get eaten. It was just in moderation. But the only way to know that is to make another post.
We'll shortly be providing scheduled Cloud Scripts, which will provide for exactly what you describe (that's actually one of the core scenarios we described internally).
