analytics_event_ext(string, string_param0, value0, string_parm1, value1, ...)
| Argument | Description |

| value[0 - 9] | The value of the parameter (a real number). |
Returns: N/A
This function will send the specified text to the analytics
provider that you have set up through the
Global Game Settings - Analytics Tab. This function can be used
to create a custom analytic to track something outside of the scope
of the provider being used, and will also accept custom
parameter/value pairs, where the parameter is a string and the
value a real number. For Google Analytics, you can only add in one
extra pair while Flurry will accept up to 7, and MarkedUp does not
accept parameters so only the initial string will be shown.
var num, time;
ini_open("Options.ini");
num = ini_read_real("Data", "Plays", 0);
num += 1;
time = current_time;
analytics_event_ext(GAME_NAME, "Plays", num, "Time", time);
ini_write_real("Data", "Plays", num);
ini_close();
The above code will get play information from an ini file as well as the current time and then send those details to the analytics provider.
