The automation relies on multiple SynthesisVR automations and would work at the following subscription levels:

• SynthesisVR Pro Plan (no longer available to new customers)
• SynthesisVR Ultimate Plan
• SynthesisVR Standard Plan (no longer available to new customers) + Leaderboard Add-on
• Essential Access + VR Session Manager + Experience Add-on + Leaderboard Add-on + Custom Game Plugins + Command Calls

Configuration:

1) Head to my.synthesisvr.com > Administration > Game,Categories,Licenses and click on “Propagation: Top Squad”. Then, create a “Game Variation” option for Propagation: Top Squad

2) Under the same page of games, find “Propagation: Top Survivors” and click on it. Switch to the “Plugins” tab and click on the “Enabled | Get a local copy” button for each plugin. The button’s text should change to “Installed”.

2) Close the Top Survivors popup and, on the same page containing all your games, switch to the “Categories” tab and click on Edit button for the category where you would like to place the game. Then assign the newly created game variation:

3) For the category where the game variation is assigned, click on the Advanced Settings button:

Find “Propagation: Top Squad”, click on the “Load Default” button, highlight the text and move it under “Propagation Top Squad and Survivors”:

4) Head to my.synthesisvr.com > Administration > [button] Customizations > Game Plugins. Find the just installed 8 “Top Survivors” plugins. For each of them:

• Click on the “Edit” button
• Switch to the “Conditions” tab
• Assign the newly created game variation and save the plugin

5) On each of your PCs, download the following file https://svr.li/ps1/topsquad_to_top_survivors.bat and place it under %localappdata%\SynthesisVR\propagationswitch.bat

6) Head to my.synthesisvr.com > Administration > [button] Customizations > Command Calls.

Create a new rule with the following settings:

7) At that point, all your settings are ready. The final step is to “Refresh” the Access Point of all your VR stations, so it can detect the newly created Command Call rule.

You are now able to launch both games individually or you can launch the newly created game variation and, once the players complete the Top Squad game, it will automatically transition to Top Survivors.

2) Go under your games administration page (https://my.synthesisvr.com/gamesInformation/837) and search for “Random Game 1”

3) On the popup, you can edit the title from “Random Game 1” to the one you would like to appear on the launchers. You can as well change the description and the image. For the image, use a full URL leading to the new image and avoid using redirected URLs (like short URLs)

4) Navigate to the Game Plugins page by going to Administration–>Customizations–>Game plugins (https://my.synthesisvr.com/launcher_menu/) and add a new one:

5) On the popup:

Go to Conditions and Click on “Enable for Games”. Then select the game from the dropdown menu

6) Refresh the same game plugin’s page and find the plugin you just created and click the “Advanced Game Settings” button:

7) On the popup, add the following text:

<svr static="click" app="Minecraft.exe" if="vrstation" position-x="54" position-y="72" delay="12000"></svr>
<svr static="click" app="Minecraft.exe" if="vrstation" position-x="59" position-y="79" delay="12020"></svr>

What this means is:

• 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds) after the game is launched
• perform a mouse click at coordinates X=50% of the game window size and Y=50% of the game window size

This assumes the game’s Play button is positioned in the center of the game window. You can adjust the coordinates and retry.

Please keep in mind that every time you update this through the “Advanced Games Settings” popup, you have to go to the station where you are testing and click the “Refresh” button. Otherwise, the updated settings may not apply on your next test.
