This is a list of all GML event names. You can use it as a reference when writing your ScaffScript code.
<EventType>[:<EventSubtype>]
The “parent event” of an object event. Use the input to target an event in an integration block. The input is case insensitive.
Input Event Name Value Internal Need Subtype? createCreate0 ❌ destroyDestroy1 ❌ alarmAlarm2 ✅ stepStep3 ✅ collisionCollision4 ✅ keyboard | keydown | key_downKeyboard5 ✅ mouseMouse6 ✅ other | asyncOther7 ✅ drawDraw8 ✅ keypress | key_pressKeyPress9 ✅ keyrelease | key_releaseKeyRelease10 ✅ cleanup | clean_upCleanUp12 ❌ gestureGesture13 ✅
In GameMaker IDE, this one is called “event number”. It defines the specific event based on the event type. Like the event type, event subtype is also case insensitive.
Input Value Internal alarm_00 alarm_11 alarm_22 alarm_33 alarm_44 alarm_55 alarm_66 alarm_77 alarm_88 alarm_99 alarm_1010 alarm_1111
Input Value Internal async_image_loaded60 async_http62 async_dialog63 async_in_app_purchase66 async_cloud67 async_networking68 async_steam69 async_social70 async_push_notification71 async_save_load72 async_audio_recording73 async_audio_playback74 async_system75
Collision event subtype is the name of the other object in the GameMaker IDE. You must create the targetted object in the GameMaker IDE before using it as an event subtype.
#[coll_player as collision :objPlayer] // `objPlayer` is an existing object in the GameMaker IDE
show_debug_message ( " collided with objPlayer! " );
Used by event types that don’t need a subtype. The value is always 0, and ScaffScript will add it for you.
