Description

Description:

Adds a multiplayer event handler (EH) to the given object and returns EH handle. See Event Handlers.

⚠

A Multiplayer Event Handler is not saved in a save file and therefore will not be restored on load - use it accordingly.

Multiplayer:

Multiplayer EHs are added globally to every client and the server will fire on itself and every client upon event. The only exception is the MPRespawn EH that one only fires where the respawned unit is local. Make sure to check the EHs' locality in Event Handlers pages.

Syntax

Syntax:

Since Arma 3 v.1.64 the EH handle is also stored in _thisEventHandler variable and is available during EH code execution.

• Event Handler parameters are accessible via _this

Number - event handler index
