Scripted Event Handlers – Arma 3
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Scripted Event Handlers are triggered by some of BI's modules and functions. When triggered any code registered for one of these events via BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler will be executed. All the events exists as variables within a namespace, whether this is one of the main Namespaces like missionNamespace or uiNamespace or it could be a specific namespace like a Group or Object etc. The event also has a set of parameters passed to the executed code. You can even implement your own scripted eventHandlers by using BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler. For all other available Event Handlers, see Arma 3: Event Handlers.
Functions
- BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler
- BIS_fnc_removeScriptedEventHandler
- BIS_fnc_removeAllScriptedEventHandlers
- BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler
Examples
Create
waitUntil { sleep 1; player distance _GG < 10 };
[missionNamespace, "localPlayerNearFourArmedRobot", [player, _GG]] call BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler;
Subscribe
[missionNamespace, "localPlayerNearFourArmedRobot", {
hint "Hello there";
}] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;
[missionNamespace, "arsenalOpened", {
hint "Player opened the Arsenal"; // hint message to the player when he opens the Arsenal
}] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;
