Event

Start an Event or set if we are in an event or not.

Syntax

(1)

|event,eventid|

(2)

|event,inevent|

Parameters

eventid: int

The Event id to start. This must be a valid event id or an exception will be thrown.

inevent: true | false

Specify whether we are in an event or not. This must be true or false or an exception will be thrown.

Remarks

Starting an event will set end to true. During Dialogue Cleanup, overridefollower is set to true which disables automatic following behaviours from the followers and SetText is instructed to not release the minipause lock which the event starting procedure would have set beforehand. The caller of the EventControl is set to the caller of the SetText call.

Syntax (2) is a way to have the game be restricted as if it was in an event without actually being in one. It is recommended to enclose the whole input string with |event,true| and |event,false| if this is desired. It should be noted that this is unnecessary with syntax (1): the event starting procedure will already set inevent to true.
