Events

Event infrastructure

--''as basic examples''
--sending event to object script or inbuilt event:
object:sendEvent("unique event name", { event data = sent data })

--sending rogue global event for global script to catch
core.sendGlobalEvent("unique event name", { event data = sent data })

Interfaces

• interfaces works as api bindings to created code but are primarily meant for working inside same scope ie. local-local or global-global

interfaces

engine handlers

Engine handler examples

• enginehandler can written like this, separately from return handler

local function onUpdate(dt)
		-- do stuff
end

return { engineHandlers = { onUpdate = onUpdate }}

or inside the return which can affect readability

return { engineHandlers = { onUpdate = function(dt) 
		-- do stuff 
end }}
