Genesis.Event (genesis v0.7.0)

Fields

  • :name - The unique event identifier
  • :object - The target object this event was sent to
  • :world - The world where of the object was spawned in
  • :from - The caller that sent the event to the object
  • :timestamp - The event creation timestamp
  • :args - Additional event-specific data
  • :handlers - The list of modules that will handle the event
