Event help topic | Don't be afraid, ask away!

[IkeTheGeneric]

This is a topic dedicated to small questions or just regular questions about events. I know you could ask in help, but this thread is geared towards questions like "How do I do this?".

It's simple. You ask a question that relates to eventing, and somebody will answer. If an event you're trying to figure out is included by an add-on, please post a link to the download of the said add-on for others.

I don't really know how relays work. Could someone help me with this?

Relays are just like a command to do something- anything
For example, onactivate>namedbrick>firerelay
and on the named brick Onrelay>self>spawnexplosion
so hitting the first brick with cause the second to spawn an explosion.
If you do onrelay>self>firerelay
You can make loops

You can also fire relays from one brick to another.
For example, if you do:

onActivate -> Self -> fireRelayWest

and you have another brick west of the first brick, that brick would do any event triggered by a relay (onRelay ->....)

This can be used for numerous things, including "cables" or, combined with delays,  detonation wires. You could also use these if you don't want to use named bricks.

[GenaralSkar]

How do i kill a person with events?

Input>Player>Kill
Doesn't work with relays.

[okiver]

If you got VCE it does...

OnActivate-Self-Firelay
OnRelay-Self-Firelay
OnRelay-Self-VCEretrocheck-"example"(BLID)-(1337)
OnVariablefalse-player-kill

Wich will loop forever... Duh

[Port]

Could somebody explain VCE "functions" to me?


Also, a tip to users with many event add-ons:
Hold ctrl while scrolling to scroll faster. Helps with getting to certain events a lot.
