Valid values

  • A global variable number from 0 to 49. The scenario database gives fifty globals their names, and the event names one of them by number.
Caveats
  • Every global starts a scenario clear unless a campaign carried it over set, so this event is satisfied from the first frame in the ordinary case. A trigger built on it alone fires immediately.
  • The event reads the variable's current state on every offer rather than catching the moment it changed, so it is satisfied for the whole time the variable stays clear.
  • A persistent tag carrying it fires on every offer over that stretch, which is once a frame for a tag on the general list.
  • Changing a global one of the trigger's own events names restarts that trigger's countdown, so pairing this event with a time event measures the delay from the change.
  • Naming a number outside the range of the table leaves the answer never filled in, so what the event reports is whatever was left in the place it reads.
  • The event has nothing to ride on. Its tag joins the general list, which adds nothing to the attachment total a semi-persistent tag waits on, so a trigger built on events of this kind needs a volatile or a persistent tag.
