Arma 3: Scripted Event Handlers

Scripted Event Handlers are triggered by some of BI's modules and functions. When triggered any code registered for one of these events via BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler will be executed. All the events exists as variables within a namespace, whether this is one of the main Namespaces like missionNamespace or uiNamespace or it could be a specific namespace like a Group or Object etc. The event also has a set of parameters passed to the executed code. You can even implement your own scripted eventHandlers by using BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler. For all other available Event Handlers, see Arma 3: Event Handlers.
