As an alternative to using the AnalyticsEventTracker component, you can send Custom Events directly via script by calling AnalyticsEvent.Custom:
// Reference the Unity __Analytics__Abbreviation of __Unity Analytics__<span class="tooltipGlossaryLink">See in [Glossary](Glossary.html#Analytics)</span> namespace
using UnityEngine.Analytics;
// Use this call for wherever a player triggers a custom event
AnalyticsEvent.Custom(string customEventName, IDictionary<string, object> eventData);
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| customEventName | string | Name of the custom event. The name cannot include the prefix “unity”, which is reserved for internal Unity Analytics eventsEvents dispatched to the Analytics Service by instances of your applications. Analytics events contain the data that is processed and aggregated to provide insights into player behavior. More info See in Glossary. |
| eventData | dictionary | Additional parameters sent to Unity AnalyticsA data platform that provides analytics for your Unity game. More info See in Glossary at the time the custom event was triggered. eventData keys cannot include the prefix “unity”, which is reserved for internal Unity Analytics events. |
The following example sends a Custom Event when a player finds a secret location in a level:
public void ReportSecretFound(int secretID){
AnalyticsEvent.Custom("secret_found", new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "secret_id", secretID },
{ "time_elapsed", Time.timeSinceLevelLoad }
});
}
