Events are customizable, reusable action sequences that can be created and added to your Experience. You can add Conditions to determine how the Event is triggered (e.g., when a Variable is equal to a certain value, when an input is entered by a participant) and Responses to determine what happens when the Event is triggered (e.g., a sound is played, a Variable is updated).

Events are useful to streamline repetitive Responses sequences in an Experience. Instead of adding the same Responses multiple times, you can simply reference a Event, which holds the desired Responses, using an Event Response.

For example, imagine you are creating a motor task where participants need to pop a balloon by touching it in the environment. To ensure consistency in the Experience, you want the same actions to occur anytime a balloon is popped during the Experience (e.g play a “pop” sound, blow confettis and update the participant’s score variable). To do this without having to add the same Responses on the balloons, you can use an Event! You could create an Event with the desired Responses (in our case a Audio Response, a Particle Effect Response and a Variable Response). Then, you could reference the Event where needed. This ensures every balloon pop has the same behaviour and makes it easier to change it for every balloon if necessary.

How Can I Create an Event?

You can create an Event from the Experience Dashboard.
