What's The Events System All About?

The events system allows you to visually create timelines of events for nearly all object types (excluding OBJ_DECAL and OBJ_MESH_OVERLAY) using the included tool, Events Editor. These events are then loaded into your game and executed from left-to-right order as they appear in each timeline.

 

What Makes Up An Event Timeline?

An event timeline consists of three items: 1) an event type, 2) a function name, and 3) a target.

  1. An event type defines when the event should occur.
  2. The function name defines the function to be triggered by the event type, whenever it occurs.
  3. The target defines the actor that the function assigned to the function name should be triggered on.
