Arma 3: Scripted Event Handlers

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

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;

Trigger

waitUntil { sleep 1; player distance _GG < 10 }; [missionNamespace, "localPlayerNearFourArmedRobot", [player, _GG]] call BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler;
