Properties  

obj_events.t[617]

the object and property we invoke

prop_events.t[618]
no description available

sense_events.t[631]
no description available

source_events.t[630]
The sensory context of the event. When the event fires, we'll execute its method in this sensory context, so that any messages generated will be displayed only if the player character can sense the source object in the given sense.

By default, these are nil, which means that the event's messages will be displayed (or, at least, they won't be suppressed because of the sensory context).

Methods  

callMethod ( )events.t[605]

Call our underlying method. This is an internal routine intended for use by the executeEvent() implementations.

construct (obj, prop)events.t[583]
construction

eventMatches (obj, prop)events.t[599]
does this event match the given object/property combination?

executeEvent ( )events.t[596]
Execute the event. This must be overridden by the subclass to perform the appropriate operation when executed. In particular, the subclass must reschedule or unschedule the event, as appropriate.
