the events in openmw-lua works/starts by simply defining it with these

• where to send, which is defined in sender script
• and can send data with it to receiving script(s)
• and you can also send multiple events in one file

Defining local event works in the sender like:

target:sendEvent( "eventname" , { data = value(s), another_data = value(s) } )

• " : " means self and is preferencing target. this reads as self value in tooltips
• target needs to be a GameObject, be it actor, container or something else
• eventname is the distinc name of the event
• data is serializable table or single value which can then be used in receiving actor.
  • data is optional though.

GLOBAL events are the same but don't need target, just the core, ie.

local core = require('openmw.core')
core.sendGlobalEvent( "eventname", { data = value(s) } )

• the fields are same as on local event
• notice there is now . after core

For sending events to local script (attached somewhere):

• for this purpose the recipient must have script attached
  • directly via openmwscripts or via global addscript function.
    • global works with using CUSTOM keyword in omwscripts file
