Talk:Event

Oops. Maybe rename this "Events" since the page already exists. --GoldenUrg 05:08, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, this page shows up in the Category:Events page, which I don't want. How do I fix that? --GoldenUrg 05:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Using term "anonymous"

"Anonymous" doesn't sound right, when used in conjunction with the word "function." Is there a better substitute? Or is it just me?

"Anonymous function" is a commonly used term for functions that aren't given names, see Wikipedia --SNCPlay42 18:28, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, k.

Change to object page?

Should we change this to an object page like format? (One for RBXScriptSignal and RBXScriptConnection) For one, it would look better and for two it's a lot easier to maintain a couple of method templates instead of this. You might say it's not an instance, but technically it is. It's just not a subclass of the instance class. I want input before I do this. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 15:54, 22 January 2012 (EST)

It would be easier to maintain and everything, but it isn't an instance, so we shouldn't put it on an instance page.

We could just have that in the description. I'm aiming for readability here. There are some edits that I need to make that wouldn't really look that good. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 15:58, 22 January 2012 (EST)

No. The object page format should be unique to objects. We want a clear distinction. This should take the same form as the CFrame and Vector3 pages. That's not to say that they can't be changed, but they should be consistent.

That'll work then. Didn't think of that. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 16:04, 22 January 2012 (EST)

"You might say it's not an instance, but technically it is. It's just not a subclass of the instance class" - In RBX.lua, we define an "Instance" to be an object that subclasses Instance, don't we?

Apparently not. RBX.lua.NetworkMarker (Service) Legend26 (talk | contribs) 16:14, 22 January 2012 (EST)

I'm dubious about that as well. It's somewhat of a corner case, given that it has an Event member. Either we need a complete overhaul of the system (ugh), or we restrict the classification to apply to only derived classes of Instance.

I'll be honest, I'm for an overhaul. Not a complete one, but there are some things that obviously need changed. However, figuring out how best to do all of that in the first place would take awhile obviously. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 16:35, 22 January 2012 (EST)

You have no idea how complex getting the current system to work was. I was recruited for the wiki for this exact reason, after trying to do something similar on the wikia wiki. Part of the problem setting this one up was the lack of the ParserFunctions Extension. That would've made it so much simpler. In the end, I wrote my own, but they're not as good.

Renaming this to RBXScriptSignal?

The proper name is RBXScriptSignal. 'Event' is ALSO a proper name, since the object browser also uses it, but, internally, the code uses RBXScriptSignal. Should we move this page and redirect it there?

"Stop using the var tags, and let's just do it this way as both are true"

No. Using the var tag is correct, while using '' is not completely correct. Considering this is a wiki, we can use it, but we should still try to use more specific tags when we can, instead of using ''.

What do we want to do? Put the variables in italic, or just format them in a way that shows they are variables? What we want is the latter. Therefore, we should use the var tag when possible.

RBXScriptSignal?

Before we write another word wall here, what's wrong with this other page?

NXTBoy (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure what you mean. The page works/looks fine to me. That's the name that the engine uses, anyway.

Sorry for not being clear. There is too much overlap between Event and RBXScriptSignal. They should probably be merged.

NXTBoy (talk • contribs)

Ah, yes. In that case, I agree.

Okay, this page is ready to be deleted. I had to move one sentence to merge these two pages together.

We can't merge them, and deleting this page would make no sense. There are two things called "Event", the Event event of the BindableEvent instance and RBXScriptSignals, which are often called "events".
