RegisterEventHandler
From The Official Visionaire Studio: Adventure Game Engine Wiki
History: Available since v3.7
registerEventHandler is an event listener which lets you declare what should happen when specific events are registered!
Additional Info |
---|
Current events available: mainLoop, mouseEvent, animationStarted, animationStopped, textStarted & textStopped |
Syntax:
registerEventHandler('eventName', 'functionName', {integerValue or eventFlagName})
mainLoop
you should only include one instance of the "mainLoop" event per game/project!
currently there is no delay/pause method to control the speed of the loop!
Example 1: mainLoop (code inside of the loop event - not recommended!)
-- let's create the function for the mainLoop event!
function onMainLoop()
-- if x equals less than 100 then + 1 should be added to value of x on each loop until x equals 100!
if x < 100 then
x = x + 1
end
end
-- let's create the loop handler!
registerEventHandler("mainLoop", "onMainLoop")
Example 2: mainLoop (including functions inside of the loop event - recommended!)
-- let's create a function that we will include inside of the mainLoop event!
function checkValue()
-- if x equals less than 100 then + 1 should be added to value of x on each loop until x equals 100!
if x < 100 then
x = x + 1
end
end
-- let's create the mainLoop event, where we will include functions for looping!
function onMainLoop()
checkVal() -- calls checkVal function on each loop!
end
-- let's create the loop handler!
registerEventHandler("mainLoop", "onMainLoop")
end
