Events types/properties

Thursday, April 11, 2013 - 10:01

Hi all,

Could you, please, write a short reference doc about event types / properties ( on_load, run_once, msg, on_clear ...).

For example I try to display a msg on the hud each time the character walk on a square ( let's say, display graveyards epitaph when the character stand in front of the grave).

If I put "run_once" the msg is of course displayed only once.

If I put "run_always" the msg is displayed many times while the character stand in the square.

But browsing the source code I didn't find any event type such as "on_enter".

Any clue ?

Good question. We don't really have such an event type, but we absolutely should add one.

In this particular case, you may consider this workaround: You could make it so the player has to click on the grave to see the message.

We're working on Tutorials now. I think we're all realizing that now is a great time to compile references and tutorials, even for ourselves as we plan to build final game content.

Hi,

I started to write https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/wiki/Map-Files which will evolve over the next time. I'll try to address that question there. "Which kind of types are available?"

Hi,

Sorry to up this old thread.

I didn't have a close look to 0.19 engine, yet.

Just saw in release notes that event manager has been heavily updated.

Please, could you update the page

https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/wiki/Map-Files

with new functionalities ?

Many thanks.

Hi,

please see https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/wiki/Attribute-Reference where the events are also described.

This file was automatically generated using the scripts at https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/pull/741, so it definitely is in sync with the source code comments. However I noticed some attributes were (re?-)moved, so I wonder if we forgot to comment something in the source.

The changes I did to that article can be found as a diff in this git repo

git@github.com:clintbellanger/flare-engine.wiki.git

I will check if the map files article can be merged into this one, or can be deleted.
