Lua/Client/Game/Functions/FireEvent

Returns	none
Prototype	Game:FireEvent(string)
Description	This triggers a JC2 event to occur. This is a very powerful function; you can trigger any event in the game, such as the dish doors or stronghold doors opening. There is likely a way to launch the rocket and disable the EMP tower as well.

Using DLC Parachutes

To give the player the Chaos chute (and now the newly released 5 extra DLC chutes) fire the following game events:

Chaos chute: parachute03.pickup.execute

Daredevil chute: parachute02.pickup.execute

Camo chute: parachute04.pickup.execute

Tiger chute: parachute05.pickup.execute

Scorpion chute: parachute06.pickup.execute

Firestorm chute: parachute07.pickup.execute

Once you fire these events on the client, they will give the local player the parachute. Note: If the player is already parachuting when this event is fired, the parachute will be invisible until it is closed and reopened.

Finding events

To find the event names, you must extract them from the game's mission files yourself.

Using Gibbed's tools

Download Gibbed's Avalanche Tools, and use ArchiveViewer to extract the pcx.tab, where x is a number from 1-4, (from \steamapps\Just Cause 2\archives_win32\). Then use SmallUnpack on the resulting .blz files (drag the .blz onto the SmallUnpack file). Go into a mission's folder, and use BinConvert on the .bl file (same process as SmallUnpack, drag it) to get an XML file. There, you can use CTRL+F to search for the events.

Some events look like this: msy.f2m06.obj.complete, other, complicated ones, look like this: t{spsv({046DE310-DF86-4D1C-B5DB-556BA134876F})}::truck.entered. Note that these events shown here do not do anything.

An example mission file will be called f2m06.blz. This is a Ular Boys mission. (it is the Lost Island mission)

If you're looking for a specific mission file, note that the missions follow a naming syntax: f1 is Roaches, f2 is Ular Boys, f3 is Reapers (please note that this rule has a few exceptions, e.g. the rocket mission and the mission involving Captain Singh, which appear to be Reaper and Ular missions whilst they are actually Ular and Roach missions, respectively), and mn, where n is a number ranging from 01 to around 15, is the mission number. The mission number does not follow any clear rule.

If the event you have found does nothing, do not be disheartened. The vast majority of events you find won't do anything. If you're not certain that it does nothing, yet you cannot see anything happening, make sure you are in the area that it has an effect on.

Key mission files (Agency missions/story missions) are simply named km01 through km08.

Known missions

pc2\sequences\unknown\f2m04 seems to refer to a mission in which a train is involved (this is possibly a scrapped mission)

pc2\missions\factionmissions\f2m05 is the mission in which you clear workmen off of a sacred Ular burial site.

pc2\missions\factionmissions\f2m06 is the Lost Island mission.

pc2\missions\factionmissions\f2m07 is the mission in which you steal a sample (presumably from Tasik)

pc2\missions\factionmissions\f2m08 is the mission in which you find and kill Lee Ho Fook.

pc2\missions\factionmissions\f3m04 is Fry me to the Moon; the mission where you intercept a rocket launch.

Examples

Hiding the crosshair

HideCrosshair = function()
	Game:FireEvent("gui.aim.hide")

Events:Subscribe("Render", HideCrosshair)

Disabling the grappling hook

DisableHook = function()

end
 
Events:Subscribe("GameLoad", DisableHook)

Disabling the parachute

DisableChute = function()
	Game:FireEvent("ply.parachute.disable")
