Objects that can trigger events will show with expandable nodes in the Script view.

Clicking the [+] of such a node expands it and shows the trigger events for the

object. Double-clicking on an event inserts its method heading with an empty

code body. Scripts are written in C# syntax.

When actions are deﬁned for an object, this will have precedence over script code.
