event_player:

Config file section

Valid in machine config files	YES
Valid in mode config files	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

This example is tested to be valid MPF config. However, it is not integration tested.

event_player:
  ball_starting:
    - show_ball_start_animation
    - play_start_sound
    - start_first_mode
  ball_ending:
    - show_ball_ending_animation
    - play_drain_sound

See Event player for details.
