Setting GeoRegions

OnSign lets you trigger and limit Content playback based on GeoRegions. For example, you can trigger Content when a player crosses a geographic boundary. To use this feature, you must define the areas beforehand.


Step 1

  1. Click your profile icon, then click Settings.
  2. In the account menu, click Geographic Regions.

Step 2 

  1. Click New in the top-left corner.
  2. In the Region Name field, enter a name for the region.

Step 3

  1. Search for a country, state, city, or other location using the Search geographic regions field, or adjust the view manually using the zoom in and zoom out buttons in the top-left corner of the map (or the mouse scroll wheel).
  2. Draw the area using the tools on the right side of the map.

The following table lists the available drawing tools and what each one does.

Tool What it does
Move Pan around the map image.
Finish Click to adjust shapes.
Eraser Delete a drawn shape.
Polygon (triangle icon) Click to place anchor points and draw connecting lines, then click Finish to complete the shape. Use this for precise, irregular areas. This is the recommended tool.
Circle Click once to mark the center, then drag to draw the radius. Use this for approximate areas.

Note: After finishing a drawing, double-click a corner to edit it. Drag the appearing dots to adjust the shape, then release to apply the change. Right-click a layer to delete it and start a new drawing.

 

Step 4

  1. Repeat the steps above to add multiple areas to the same GeoRegion, if needed.
  2. Click Save.

The GeoRegion is now available to trigger or limit Content playback. Repeat this process to create as many regions as you need.
