Eventhandlers

[crassus 0]

I'm hoping someone will point me to a list, if such exists, of which events can and cannot be checked for.

I mean, can such events such as reload, prone out, drop or pick up <this weapon>, weapon on back, basically anything either requiring a keystroke by the player or some event in-game be checked and a script written to act upon it?

Look at the official ComRef (command reference) to learn more about event handlers.

Well, that's a start toward my understanding of it. I'm hoping for a more no-brainer oriented definition.

I'm a bit confused:First there is this:

Quote[/b] ]Event handlers can be defined in unit config

Does this mean I can define any old evenhandler I wish?

But then, in the same paragraph:

Quote[/b] ] Event handler types are defined below.

Or am I limited to the types...defined below?

You are limited to the types defined in the comref. I am not aware of any eventhandlers not listed.

For example:

Add a GetIn eventhandler and check to see if a unit enters a specific type of vehicle so you can add actions. Then remove them with a GetOut eventhandler to remove them.

Fired, Init, and Hit eventhandlers are pretty popular for creating some wild scripts.

Another example: Add an init eventhandler that runs a script that loops while checking various conditions to in a sense develop your own events.

Hell what do you want, you got a CoC signature! Where are the no-brainers?

As your original request touched on two different areas (or at least that is how I read it), here are two links that should answer either or both of your questions.

As for the returned values from event handlers, I use Igor Drukov's tutorial available from OFPEC.

If you want info on the actions available in OFP, but not obtaining any returned values from these actions, read up on it on this  sticky topic on the OFPEC Forums.

One, if not both of these links, should provide you with the information that you seek.
