Events

Introduction

The Events blocks in VEXcode GO allow for event-driven coding, enabling different parts of a project to run in response to triggers such as project start, received events, or user interactions.

Below is a list of available blocks:

• when started – Executes the attached stack of blocks when the project starts.

• when I receive event – Runs the attached stack when a specific event is broadcast.

• broadcast event – Triggers an event without pausing execution.

• broadcast event and wait – Triggers an event and pauses execution until the event’s tasks complete.

when started

The when started block runs its stack when the project begins. You can have multiple when started blocks to run multiple stacks of blocks at once.
