Creating Parameters

Parameters are variables of your game managed by Hyperstone. These are what the system selects and optimizes during optimizations: for example, ad display interval, shop item price, or first level difficulty.

How to open parameter management

1. Go to your project page.
2. On the right side of the screen, you will see the parameters panel (it is empty by default if parameters have not been added yet).
3. Click the Config button — it will open the parameter settings page.
4. Or go directly via the Hyperstone Console.

How to add a new parameter

On the parameters page, click the Add Parameter button. A form with several fields will open.

1. Parameter Name

Enter a unique parameter name.

Naming Rules

• Use only Latin letters, numbers, and the underscore symbol (_).
• Do not use spaces, hyphens, or special characters.
• The name should be clear and descriptive: ad_interstitial_interval, shop_item_price_coins, tutorial_skip_enabled.
• Do not duplicate parameters — before creating, ensure that a similar parameter does not already exist in the list.

Examples of good names:

✅ Good	❌ Bad
ad_interstitial_interval	AdInterval, ad interval, param1
shop_gems_price	shopGemsPrice, price, цена
first_level_difficulty	lvl1, difficulty-1, D1

2. Parameter Description

Fill in the Description field — briefly explain what this parameter is responsible for. A good description helps the team understand the project without unnecessary questions.

Example: Interval in seconds between full-screen ad displays. Affects the frequency of ad displays and the user experience.

3. Data Type

Choose one of three types:

Type	Application	Example Values
String	Text data, identifiers, codes	"easy", "theme_dark", "promo_v2"
Number	Numbers: integers and decimals	60, 0.99, 1500
Boolean	On/Off switch	true, false

4. Default Value

Specify a default value — this is what the player will receive if the optimization has not yet started or if the user did not fall into any of the test groups. This value should correspond to the current “baseline” behavior of your game.

Tip

Use the variant that already works in your game and shows a stable result as the default value. This ensures that new users receive a correct experience even before the start of the optimization.

Saving a Parameter

After filling in all fields, click Save. The parameter will appear in the panel on the right of the project page and become available for use in optimizations.

What’s next?

Once parameters are added, you can create an optimization and begin optimizing.
