How does it work?

It's pretty straight forward. You send essentially activate an event on a given actor. For instance, somewhere in an event script, you have this code.

Code: Select all

SendActivationEvent("actorname.1");

It sends an event to the clone, actorname.1. The event takes place while the current script gets paused. When it finishes, it jumps back to the script and finishes it. The actorname actor though needs to have an event tied to the activation.

Ahh I didn't know that it paused the current script. So it's like a function call. That new bit of information has just helped me find the best way of doing something I've been trying to do with timers.

Yeah, same thing happens with CreateActor. It is an extremely useful event, as you can break it up into many different events.
