Create Play Mode Controls attributes

Configure account attributes using Play Mode Controls to test in-game workflows before deploying to a device.

You can create and configure attributes as part of the Play Mode Controls window to test any workflows in your game that rely on platform account attributes. These attributes are customizable and you can apply them to each test user account.

You can give each attribute a unique name, and assign a type from the following list:

  • System.String
  • System.Int32
  • System.Int64
  • UnityEngine.Texture2D

When you create an attribute, placeholder content is autogenerated per user depending on the type of attribute created. The placeholder can be overridden with custom values for each user to test different scenarios.

For more information on platform account attributes, refer to Get started with attributes.
