Not to be confused with Events.

The event type is used for events such as events.TICK. To create an event function, use one of the following.

 local tick = 0
function events.WORLD_TICK()
  tick = tick + 1
end
-- OR
local tick = 0
events.WORLD_TICK:register(function()
  tick = tick + 1
end, "TICK_COUNTER")

Methods

Method Description
remove Takes in a string with the name of the event, and removes it, stopping it from being called
clear Clears the event of all methods
register Takes in a function to run when the event is fired, with an optional name argument (string)
getRegisteredCount Returns the amount of functions registered, with an optional name argument (string)

remove


Removes a function from an event, returning how many were removed

Overloads:

Arguments Return
name: string integer
function: function integer
local tick = 0
function tickThing()
  tick = tick + 1
  print("tick " .. tick)
  if tick > 5 then
    events.TICK:remove("thing:)
  end
end
events.TICK:register(tickThing, "tickThing")

clear


Similar to remove, but removes every event

Overloads:

Arguments Return
none nil
-- Example function to clear all events
function clearEvents()
  for _, v in pairs(events:getEvents()) do
    v:clear()
  end
end

register

Registers a function to an event

Overloads:

Arguments Return
func: function, name: string Event
func: function Event
local fps = 0
events.RENDER:register(function()
  fps = client.getFPS()
end)

getRegisteredCount

Gets the number of registered functions in an event, optionally filtering by name

Overloads:

Arguments Return
name: Integer Event
none Integer
local fps = 0
events.RENDER:register(function()
  fps = client.getFPS()
end)
