Event List

Overview and Key Concepts

The Event List shows all the pending events for the model. It is useful for seeing when different events will occur in order to debug modeling issues. If you have a problem that happens during a particular event, the Event List is useful for seeing information about that event to help track down the source of the problem.

You can access the Event List from the Debug menu on the main toolbar. If you want to only view the events for a particular object, you can right-click on the 3D object, point to View, then select View Object Events.

Properties

The Event List has the following properties:

Time

This is the time that the event occurs. The time value is displayed using the model's precision.

Object

This is the path to the object, relative to the model, that the event affects.

Event Type

This is the type of event. It is the event code and will show a number value for event codes without registered names. You can use the "seteventlistlegendentry" application command to register a name for custom event types.

For example: applicationcommand("seteventlistlegendentry", 102, "My Event Type", 0); will set event code 102 to show "My Event Type" as its name in the list.

Involved

This is the path to the involved object for the event.

Event Data

This value's use depends on the event and may not be used for all event types.
