EN emit example

[Montiary]

hey, i dont understand the event.emit command.

can anyone give me a working example?

    const backend = require('backend');
    const engine = require('engine');
    const event = require('event');

    event.on('chat', function(ev) {
        event.emit("test",new Object( [ "test" ] ));
        engine.log('Got message "'+ev.text +'" from '+ ev.client.name());
    });
    
    event.on('test', function(ev) {
        engine.log(ev);
    });

because my exmaple gives me only this output :

2020-02-02T14:49:42+01:00 [ test event:20:10] [{}]
2020-02-02T14:49:42+01:00 [ test event:16:10] Got message "ad" from Montiary

event.emit("test",new Object( [ "test" ] ));

That looks very weird, I don't know how you came up with that.

Try this (not tested but should work):

event.emit("test", {foobar: "Lorem Ipsum"});

event.on("test", function(ev) {
    // this should print "Lorem Ipsum"
    engine.log(ev.foobar);
});

thx for your respond, but with this example i get undefined as output.

2020-02-04T13:15:29+01:00 [ test event:22:12] undefined

i get cunfused i tested some other outputs.

    event.on('chat', function(ev) {
        event.emit("test", {foobar: "Lorem Ipsum"});
    });
    
    event.on("test", function(ev) {
    // this should print "Lorem Ipsum"
        engine.log(ev);
        engine.log(ev.foobar);
        engine.log(ev[0]);
        engine.log(ev[0].foobar);
    });

i got this results ?!?!?
