Event Scripts - Overview

Overview

EventScripts is a plugin for Valve's Source engine that allow custom scripts to execute on the server. The engine is heavily event-driven, as the name implies, allowing a scripter or game server administrator to take action whenever an event occurs in the game. It also allows scripts to register server console commands themselves and interact heavily with the Source engine to create effects and interact with players/entities.

Over time the goals of the project have evolved into maintain backwards compatibility, providing a simple interface for non-experts, and delivering active support and help via forums. In this way, EventScripts continues to be an important factor in the Source gaming community, particularly for Counter-Strike Source.

The scripting engine of EventScripts supports two different scripting styles.
