Event Scripts are scripts that are executed upon specific events. Not all event scripts are executed directly by the engine.

To use an Event Script, create a file of the given name in the mission directory.

init* scripts (on)Player* scripts Other Scripts
ⓘ
See Initialization Order to learn when initialization scripts are executed.
