Editing Events Reference (section)

== Event Definition ==
 <event> ::= <event header>
             [<function block>
             'endEvent']

Function headers must always be followed by a standard [[Function Reference#Function Block|function block]] and "EndEvent", unless they are native (which are handled by the game).

=== Event Header ===
 <event header> ::= 'Event' <identifier> '(' [<parameters>] ')' ['Native'] <flags>*

The event header is identical to the [[Function Reference#Function Header|function header]], but does not allow for return types or allow for the "Global" flag.

===Parameters===
The parameters are identical to the [[Function Reference#Parameters|function parameter list]], but should match the data that the game will send to the event.

=== Examples ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; A simple activate event handler 
Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActivator)
  PlayAnimation("CoolStuff")
endEvent
</syntaxhighlight>
