Events

An event is a rule that fires on its own while the story is being read: “when this condition is met, do that”. Unlike a choice, the reader does not bring it about, it happens automatically.

Note

Events are an advanced feature. The Events tab only shows up in expert mode, which is set in the story’s Settings.

An event: its trigger (a condition) and its actions (the effect).

How it is built

An event combines:

• a trigger, which is a condition,
• actions, which are its effect. See Actions and redirects.

When it fires

The Trigger mode sets how often it fires:

• Once: it happens one time, then never again.
• After each sequence: its condition is re-evaluated at every new sequence.
• When condition becomes true: it fires the moment its condition turns from false to true.

The Scope limits where it is active: everywhere, in the main graph only, or in one specific sub-graph.
