The LocationTypes enum determines which players’ position data is captured during replay parsing. This allows you to filter location tracking based on your analysis needs.

​
Enum Values

​
All

Grab all possible locations from any player.
  • Captures: Every player’s position data in the replay
  • Use case: Complete map activity analysis, heatmaps, and full match tracking
  • Performance: Most data-intensive option

​
Team

Grab locations from replay owner and all teammates.
  • Captures: Replay owner + all squad/team members
  • Use case: Team strategy analysis, squad positioning, and coordination tracking
  • Performance: Moderate data volume

​
User

Only grab locations from replay owner.
  • Captures: Replay owner’s position data only
  • Use case: Individual player tracking, personal performance analysis
  • Performance: Minimal data volume

​
None

Grab no locations.
  • Captures: No position data
  • Use case: When location data is not needed for your analysis
  • Performance: Best performance when locations aren’t required

​
Usage Example

using FortniteReplayReader.Models;

// Track all players' locations
var settings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.All
};

// Track only team members
var teamSettings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.Team
};

// Track only replay owner
var userSettings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.User
};

// Don't track any locations
var noLocSettings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.None
};

var reader = new ReplayReader();
var replay = reader.ReadReplay("replay.replay", settings);

​
Use Case Examples

​
Heatmap Generation

// Capture all player movements for full match heatmap
var settings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.All,
    LocationChangeDeltaMS = 1000 // Sample every second
};

​
Team Strategy Analysis

// Analyze squad positioning and rotations
var settings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.Team,
    LocationChangeDeltaMS = 500 // More frequent sampling
};

​
Personal Performance Review

// Track only your own movements
var settings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.User,
    LocationChangeDeltaMS = 0 // Capture all location changes
};

​
Event-Only Analysis

// Skip location tracking for elimination-only analysis
var settings = new FortniteReplaySettings
{
    PlayerLocationType = LocationTypes.None
};

Performance Considerations

Combine LocationTypes with other FortniteReplaySettings properties:
  • LocationChangeDeltaMS: Control sampling frequency (0 = capture all changes)
  • IgnoreHealth: Skip health updates to reduce data
  • IgnoreInventory: Skip inventory tracking for performance
