Class: Events

Defined in: adventure/Events.js, line 13

We only fire a few events, all at the beginning and end of a turn: inputEnter, inputParseBegin, inputParseComplete, and inputQueueNext (which fires between queued inputs). Authors can hook into these to run custom code. For example, you could write a series of random in-game background events tied to specific Rooms, to print additional text to the Display after parsing has completed.

Example:

MyGame.reactor.addEventListener('inputParseComplete', function()
{
  var random = Math.random() * 100;
  switch (MyGame.world._currentRoom.name) 
  {
    case "Frigid Wastes":
      if( random < 10 ) 
      {
        MyGame.print( 
          "You're struck by a flash of blinding light as  
          sunlight reflects off the packed ice.", "random" 
        );
      }
      break;
    case "Desert Wastes":
      if( random > 5 && random < 10 ) 
      {
        MyGame.print( 
          "Heat haze shimmers off the distant dunes.", "random" 
        );
      }
      else if( random > 10 && random <  15 ) 
      {
        MyGame.print( 
          "You feel the sand shift beneath your feet.", "random" 
        );
      }
      break;
  }
});
