Built-in Events¶

The following events are built-in and are always available. The events and arguments are case-sensitive.

Note

In some of the examples, fictitious events and actions are used. These are prefixed with plugin/.

time¶

Triggers at the specified time in the simulation.

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
`time`	yes	number	Seconds in simulation time.

Inline short-form is supported as the content of time.

Examples:

[
  { "event": { "name": "time", "time": 10.5 }, "action": "stop" },
  { "event": "time=10.5", "action": "stop" }
]

next¶

Triggers in the next simulation cycle, except if the simulation is paused. On insertion, the current simulation time is used to insert a special time trigger. The value of the parameter time is added to this time. Therefore, it is possible to insert “relative” time triggers.

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
`time`	yes	number	Additional seconds in simulation time.

Inline short-form is supported as the content of time.

Examples:

[
  { "event": { "name": "next" }, "action": {"name": "basic/hmi", "plus": true } },
  { "event": { "name": "next", "time": 0.5 }, "action": {"name": "basic/hmi", "plus": false } },
  { "event": "next=30", "action": "stop" }
]
