====== Script Based Events ======

Those events are tie to a script name/ResRef they will run whenever the script that they are registered to is called. It is good to change the behaviour or a specific script by bypassing it or when the caller doesn't matter, but if you want to do something only when something happen to a specific object, you should use the [[.:variable_based]] system.

===== Registering / Unregistering a Script Based Event =====
This is done with the 2 following functions:
<code>
void RegisterEvent(string sEvent, string sScript);
void UnregisterEvent(string sEvent, string sScript);
</code>
For example, the following line:
<code>
RegisterEvent("pc_ev_death", "myerf_ev_pcdeath")
</code>
... will cause the myerf_ev_pcdeath script to be called **before** and every time that the pc_ev_death is about to be executed. \\ The parameters can be accessed the same way as the original script and the caller will be the same.

===== Creating / Running a Script Based Event =====
If in the middle of a script you want to notify everyone interested by what is happening, you can use the [[https://nwnlexicon.com/index.php?title=ExecuteScript|ExecuteScript]] function, but better, you can use the RunEvent(ReturnType) functions, which will create a script based event that can be registered, have parameters and a return value:
<code>
int RunEvent(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
int RunEventInt(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
object RunEventObject(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
string RunEventString(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
float RunEventFloat(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
effect RunEventEffect(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
array RunEventArray(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
dictionary RunEventDictionary(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
vector RunEventVector(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
location RunEventLocation(string sScript, object oTarget, array aParams);
</code>
