Config file section
| Valid in :doc:`machine config files </config/instructions/machine_config>` | YES |
| Valid in :doc:`mode config files </config/instructions/mode_config>` | YES |
Note
This section can also be used in a show file in the events: section of a step.
You can use the event_player: section of your config files to cause
additional events to be automatically posted when a specific event is
posted. The event_player can be thought of as a really simple way to
implement game logic. (e.g. "When this happens, do this.")
If you add this section to your machine-wide config file, the entries here will always be active. If you enter it into a mode-specific config file, entries will only be active while that mode is active.
This is an example:
event_player:
ball_starting:
- show_ball_start_animation
- play_start_sound
- start_first_mode
ball_ending:
- show_ball_ending_animation
- play_drain_sound
See :doc:`/config_players/event_player` for details.
