Hey Gavalakis,

the event information that is sent to the Console when event is sent or received is confusing,

1. it says who sent the message but does not say who is the receiver
2. it says “event received from…” but actually the object in the message is the “to” not the “from”

should these messages say something like… ?

1. Event ‘add score’ sent. From Object A to Object B
2. Event ‘add score’ received. From Object A to Object B

Thanks

Hey,

The reason that it is like that, is because the order of execution is like this:

– First an event is send to a graph either from code of from a task (same thing).
– Then at a later or even the same frame, the event is received from some task like for example CheckEvent condition task.

Does this makes send? 🙂
Let me know.

Hey,

thanks for the info,

in both cases the message only says one part of the communication. in first statement, it says the receiver, but id does not say who sent the event

in case 2 it says who received the event but does not say who sent it

thanks,

Hey,

Yes. Only one part of the communication is stated in the message, because when an event is send, the sender is unknown (a SendEvent can be called from any script like a normal function). So, only the receiver becomes known when an event is send.
