Normally I check event_type inside an event function and depending on the content I perform some stuff. Now let's say the only thing I do inside the event function is sth. like: my->skill42 = event_type; If I then check the content of skill42 outside the event function in a cyclic runnign entity function... ... what exactly is store? 1) The last event 2) all events since last wait() as a bitmask 3) a different way Why am I asking this? I want to know if I can catch several events which might have happened or if I can only catch the last event. Speaking of the fact, that I do NOT perform the check inside the event function. Yes, I can of course build up my own bit mask inside the event and then check this one... just wanted to know if this is necessary or if this feature is already there

Its only the "most recent" event triggerd for that entity.
BUT, you could do this.
In the event
my->skill42 |= event_type; //collect a bitmask of all events for this entity
Then in the function that uses this info, set my->skill42 = 0; once checks are done.

Hmm... I'm not sure that'll work. Bitmasks are only necessary for flags that can be used in combination with each other, while event_type is never more than one type of event, so it's probably not set up that way (although it could be, for some internal reason).
So unless you've tested it, and found for some reason it works, that won't do it.
I'd also say that since in an event function one tests for equality, event_type stores that event and only that event.
I hope that's useful,

Yes that's a valid point I could have thought of earlier. duh. Thanks for pointing out. so the question left is whether the EVENT types are organized in a way to support bit masking.

what's the purpose of this? bitwise operators doesn't work. you can store the eventtype into a skill in a event function test code every idea that doesn't work is comment out.
//#define skill4 event_type
function event_func()
{
// me.skill4 =| (event_type);
me.skill4 = event_type;
}
action test_ent()
{
my.emask = (ENABLE_SCAN|ENABLE_DETECT);
my.event = event_func;
while(1)
{
c_scan(me.x,me.pan,vector(360,0,200),IGNORE_ME);
if(me.skill4 == EVENT_DETECT)beep();
wait(1);
}
}
function main()
{
level_load("");
ent_create("",nullvector,test_ent);
ent_create("",vector(10,0,0),NULL);
}
Bit mask: perhaps event_type are bit mask but i guess the skills aren't bit masks(how you can creat bit masks on your own?) muffel

I have tested a little bit more testcode:
ENTITY* ent;
var test;
var test2;
function event_func()
{
// me.skill4 =| (event_type);
me.skill4 = event_type;
}
action test_ent()
{
my.emask = (ENABLE_SCAN|ENABLE_DETECT);
my.event = event_func;
while(1)
{
c_scan(me.x,me.pan,vector(360,0,200),IGNORE_ME);
if(me.skill4 == EVENT_DETECT)beep();
test = me.skill4;
wait(1);
}
}
action test_ent2()
{
my.emask = (ENABLE_SCAN|ENABLE_DETECT);
my.event = event_func;
while(1)
{
if(me.skill4 == EVENT_SCAN)beep();
test2 = me.skill4;
wait(1);
}
}
function main()
{
level_load("");
ent = ent_create("",nullvector,test_ent);
ent_create("",vector(10,0,0),test_ent2);
}
test was always 7 test2 alwalys 8 So i think EVENT_SCAN and every over event are only enums hope this tip could help muffel

Doh, muffel is right... event_types are only an enum, not a bit-mask (as I assumed).
My coding idea for the event is stuffed...
Muffel, to see how to create your own bitmasks, take a LOOK at
"atypes.h" in the gamestudio "include" folder. (just dont change it)

Well thanks for trying that out, muffle  Ok, then it's creating a manual bitmask... 1<<event_type  Might work as long as the values vor event_type do not become too high.... oh. This brings me to the idea I could have just looked into the includes. DOH! Not my day today.
//event definitions
#define EVENT_BLOCK 1 // collision with level block
#define EVENT_ENTITY 2 // collisions with entity
#define EVENT_STUCK 3 // stuck in a corner
#define EVENT_PUSH 4
#define EVENT_IMPACT 5 // hit by another entity
#define EVENT_FRICTION 6
#define EVENT_DETECT 7
#define EVENT_SCAN 8
#define EVENT_SHOOT 9
#define EVENT_TRIGGER 10
#define EVENT_SONAR 11
#define EVENT_FRAME 12
#define EVENT_RECEIVE 13 // Entity received skills
#define EVENT_DISCONNECT 20 // Entity client has disconnected
#define EVENT_CLICKUP 14 // left click over down toggle
#define EVENT_BUTTONUP 15 // mouse button released over entity
#define EVENT_TOUCH 16 // mouse pointer moves over entity
#define EVENT_RELEASE 17 // mouse pointer leaves entity
#define EVENT_CLICK 18 // left click over entity
#define EVENT_RIGHTCLICK 19 // right click over entity
#define EVENT_JOIN 32 // client joined
#define EVENT_LEAVE 33 // client left
#define EVENT_STRING 34 // received a string
#define EVENT_DATA 36 // received a data buffer (7.04+)
#define EVENT_VAR 37 // received a variable
I think this can be closed.
