Beginners Guide to Event Handlers. Category:VBS2: Event Handlers. From BISim Wiki Event Handlers (EHs) are attached to objects, and allow you to automatically execute custom code upon particular events being triggered by that object. These event handlers are added to objects using the addEventHandler command, or in the object's configuration file (see below). Multiple event handlers of the same type can be attached to an object (and are identified by the index returned by addEventHandler), and will fire in the order they were created.

A respawned unit still has the EHs it had before, so it is not neccessary to re-add EHs after respawning. Configs: See Config Event Handlers on how to add EHs to object's config files. Global Events (not tied to a specific object, but responding to global, or system, events) User Interface: See User Interface Event Handlers for event handlers used in displays/dialogs. Collisions/Damages BeforeKilled Fires just before a unit is killed. Passed array: [object] object: Object - Unit that is about to die. Dammaged DamagedHitPart Hit. VBS2: Custom Event Handlers. From BISim Wiki As opposed to object event handlers, the following event handlers are not associated with a specific objects, but react to system events (e.g. opening the editor). Whether an event is added via a function call or a config class, both can be removed via the fn vbs removeSysEventHandler function.

Available events for either method are listed below. via Function If an event is added via fn_vbs_addSysEventHandler, the code segment has access to the following variables: _this - data passed by the event itself (contents vary depending on event type) _index - index of event handler being run (useful for removing the event) _data - extra data passed when this event handler was added Be aware that, just like with any other function, in order for this to work, the capitalization is crucial, and the function library must be included in the script: #include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp". via Config The class CfgSystemEventHandlers defines the events that should be added. E.g. IEDs.

Oktane wrote: How is linux support supposed to work exactly? I suppose the DLL would have to not have any external MS references at all, which is a bit unheard of right? Or WINE/Mono would take care of that? I mean it's easy to request but can any linux experts think about the technical feasibility?

Linux has .so where windows has .dll; conceptually they're the exact same thing - the catch is that the "shared object" has to be compiled specifically to run on linux. Regarding security, the command may be ideal with restrictions such as no directory transversal (can't load library outside of arma path, but subdirs okay so that it can be put in a modfolder and updated with mod managers like six updater if needed) The plan seems to be that the search path for that dll/so is limited to the active mod folders.

And callextension is ignored if received from a network client? To my knowledge there is nothing that even tries to separate "local" and "network" originated script commands.
