Event Based Scripting (EBS)

From Wiki001

Event Based Scripting, or EBS, is a way of scripting through the use of events. To use Event Based Scripting, you link together various events. This in turn makes things happen in the game. Event Based Scripting is easy to learn and use, and will be used frequently in your game, whether you are talking to a NPC or planting a bomb to make a building explode.
