EventChain

An EventChain is an event that triggers other events sequentially, as in a chain of events.

Factory

Events.EventChain

Events.EventChain(chain)

Spawns an EventChain.

Arguments

• chain: Array object. A list containing zero or more events.

Returns

A new EventChain that triggers the specified events, one at a time. The first time the EventChain is triggered, the first event of the chain will be triggered. The second time the EventChain is triggered, the second event of the chain will be triggered, and so on.

Note: if the EventChain ever triggers its last event, from that moment onwards it will always trigger its last event (unless you make it loop).

Example

// EventChain example
// This is a level setup object. Make sure to link it in your .lev file!
using SurgeEngine.Level;
using SurgeEngine.Events.EventChain;
using SurgeEngine.Events.FunctionEvent;

object "My Level Setup"
{
    fun constructor()
    {
        Level.setup({
            "Switch": {
                "sticky": false,
                "onActivate": EventChain([
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("First time"),
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("Second time"),
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("Third time"),
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("Enough!")
                ])
            }
        });
    }
}

Functions

willLoop

willLoop()

Make the EventChain loop. When the last event of the chain is triggered, the next event to be triggered will be the first one.

Returns

The EventChain object.

Example

// Triggering Alternating Events
// This is a level setup object. Make sure to link it in your .lev file!
using SurgeEngine.Level;
using SurgeEngine.Events.EventChain;
using SurgeEngine.Events.FunctionEvent;

object "My Level Setup - Alternating Events"
{
    fun constructor()
    {
        Level.setup({
            "Switch": {
                "sticky": false,
                "onActivate": EventChain([
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("Triggered Event A"),
                    FunctionEvent("Print").withArgument("Triggered Event B")
                ]).willLoop()
            }
        });
    }
}
