| Let's start with some shorter events in the game, before getting into longer ones which pull together a ton of game systems. An event script defines many events which run while the script is loaded. You can think of these like functions in a programming language, each identified by a unique number. An event must be initialized to have any effect in the game at all. All events run in parallel, executing one instruction after the next from top to bottom, sometimes skipping optional instructions or stopping altogether until some condition is met. | Let's start with some shorter events in the game, before getting into longer ones which pull together a ton of game systems.

| How this works in the event script itself is that there are special events called constructors which get automatically initialized when an event script is loaded. These are events with low ids like 0 and 50. As you can see, these constructor events are responsible for initializing every other event in the file, and a few others too. | How this works in the event script itself is that there are special events called constructors which get automatically initialized when an event script is loaded.
