| {{Disambig
| |
| |{{type|RBXScriptSignal}}, the class of events used by ROBLOX {{type|instance=Instance|Instances}}.
| |
| |[[File:Event Icon.png]] [[Event (Event)|Event]], an event of the {{type|instance=BindableEvent}} object.
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| == Introduction ==
| |
| | |
| An Event is similar to properties - but instead of holding a variable, events "Fire" when a cetain condition is met. Events are found in most objects, and can be used to fire a specific function upon an event occuring, for example:
| |
| | |
| <code>
| |
| function partTouched()
| |
| print("Something has touched the brick!");
| |
| end
| |
| | |
| local part = game.Workspace.Part
| |
| part.Touched:connect(partTouched)
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| As seen in the above example, upon a physical object colliding with Part, the text "A brick named <part that collided> has touched the brick!" is printed to the output.
| |
| | |
| == Arguments ==
| |
| Most events have at least one argument, in the next example, we will remove any objects that collide into game.Workspace.Part.
| |
| | |
| <code>
| |
| local part = game.Workspace.Part
| |
| | |
| function collision(hit)
| |
| hit:Destroy()
| |
| end
| |
| | |
| part.Touched:connect(collision)
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| Being that the [[Touched]] event carries one argument, the object that collided into the brick. Lets try another example, this time with the [[Changed]] event. In this example, any changes to Part's properties will be printed to the output.
| |
| | |
| <code>
| |
| local part = game.Workspace.Part
| |
| | |
| function somethingChanged(property)
| |
| print("The " .. property .. " property has been changed!");
| |
| end
| |
| | |
| part.Changed:connect(somethingChanged)
| |
| | |
| wait(3)
| |
| part.Name = "Brick"
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| The above example will print "The Name property has been changed" after about three seconds of the script running.
