On Event

On Event listens for one named event and runs its own actions list, top to bottom, with this object as Self. It's the general "when X happens, do Y".

Settings

Setting	What it does
on event	The event name to listen for. Pick one from the list or type a new name.
actions	What runs when the event is sent. Click + action to add a row.

Where events come from

• A Send an event action in any action list, anywhere in the project. This is the usual way.
• Event fields on some components, like a Tappable's on release and if blocked.
• Events the engine sends for you:

Event	Sent when
open	A screen opens.
close	A screen closes.
OnEnter	A World screen is entered.
settled	Everything that was moving on a World screen has stopped.
<name>_loaded / <name>_failed	A data source finished loading, or failed (Apps).
push_received / push_token	A push notification arrived, or the device got a new push token (when push is set up).

Good to know

• One object can carry several On Event components, one per event.
• open is the place to set things up the moment a screen loads, with no tap needed. See Keeping visuals in sync when a screen opens.
• Logic that belongs to no particular object goes in the Events panel, which is the same thing on the screen itself.
• See Targeting Self, Other and Named for what Self means in the actions.
• Works in Game and App projects on both watches. Not offered on watch faces.
