Are "event handlers" actually "event handlers"

Windows is refereed to as an "event driven program". You supply the input as an event and Windows decides what to do with it..(ie move mouse and click creates events that Windows interprets).

Question is are "event handlers" in the BI scripting language actually "event handlers" (something happens in game and the appropriate even handler grabs the input and acts on it)

um.

ther are several types of events in arma.

action event or what eve you would call them

thouse are used for example when a unit is killed. you fire up a script to do this and that.
