Declare player attributes
In this section, list individual player attributes to include in matchmaking requests. There are two reasons you might declare player attributes in a rule set:
-
When the rule set contains rules that rely on player attributes.
-
When you want to pass a player attribute to the game session through the match request. For example, you might want to pass player character choices to the game session before each player connects.
When declaring a player attribute, include the following information:
-
name (required) – This value must be unique to the rule set.
-
type (required) – The data type of the attribute value. Valid data types are number, string, string list, or string map.
-
default (optional) – Enter a default value to use if a matchmaking request doesn't provide an attribute value. If no default is declared and a request doesn't include a value, FlexMatch can't fulfill the request.
