A relaxation is an alteration of rule behavior. This can be useful for dynamic rule description. Any rule can be relaxed by providing a list of relaxations in the rule.
Relaxation is an important part of rule definition as it can potentially help create matches faster by making some matchmaking rules more lenient overtime, especially when the player population is lower.
Base relaxation contract
Here’s an example of a base relaxation contract:
{ ... Relaxations: [ { "Type": "RelaxationType", "Value": 70, "AtSeconds": 5, "AgeType": "Oldest/Average/Youngest" } ]}
Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Yes | string | The type of relaxation to apply. Refer to Relaxation types below. |
| Value | Yes | * | The value used by the relaxation rule. Any type is valid. For example, string, bool, list and number. |
| AtSeconds | Yes | number | The number of seconds (inclusive) after which the relaxation is triggered. |
| AgeType | Yes | string | Uses the Oldest (default), Average or Youngest ticket times in the match. |
Relaxation is triggered based on the age of tickets in a match. Depending how the relaxation is defined, a relaxation will be enabled when:
- Oldest: The oldest ticket in the match reaches is X seconds old.
- Youngest: The youngest ticket in the match reaches is X seconds old.
- Average: The average age of tickets in a match reaches is X seconds old.
注
Team count and player count are automatically relaxed to their maximum relaxation when backfilling a match.
Relaxation type
Enable
Once the relaxation is triggered, the associated rule is applied. Here’s an example:
{ "Type": "RuleControl.Enable", "AtSeconds": 5, "AgeType": "Youngest" }
Disable
Once the relaxation is triggered, the associated rule stops being applied. Here’s an example:
{ "Type": "RuleControl.Disable", "AtSeconds": 5, "AgeType": "Youngest" }
Replace
Once the relaxation is triggered, the reference value is replaced with another type. Here’s an example:
{ "Type": "ReferenceControl.Replace", "Value": 300, "AtSeconds": 10 }
ReplaceMin
This only applies to the TeamCount or PlayerCount.
Once the relaxation is triggered, the minimum value is replaced with the specified value. Here’s an example:
{ "Type": "RangeControl.ReplaceMin", "Value": 70, "AtSeconds": 5, "AgeType": "Youngest" }
