Using standard events in custom ways

Hello!

Is it possible to use standard events in custom ways?

Example:

player_ad_closed
player_ad_ended
player_ad_opened
player_ad_rewarded
player_ad_started

But without of connection to PlayFab`s Add-on of Advertising.

We are using different ad systems and thouse standard events are pretty well suite to our needs.

If it possible, then how can we do that?

I suppose via WritePlayerEvent?

All the built-in PlayFab events are triggered in the logic flow of the associated API calls. The Ads service is currently in Beta, which is why you're not seeing those API calls. We'll get it to a released state as soon as we can, so that we can open up those API calls to everyone. Specifically, they're for doing the reward part of the process, just so you know - we're not doing any ad serving just yet.

If all you want to do is track on ads watched, yes, you could also use a custom event for that.
