Description

Wiki Description

Event called when menus are opened or closed - if this active magic effect/alias/form is registered for it.

This event will only be sent to the specific script that registered for it. Other scripts attached to the same form/alias/active magic effect will not receive the event unless they also register.

Documentation Comment

Event received when a menu opens/closes


Caveats

CK Wiki - Notes

  • Aliases and quests will automatically unregister for this event when the quest stops. Active magic effects will automatically unregister when they are removed.
  • If you want a script to do things after a terminal has been 'exited' that has been displayed through a holotape from the pipboy, you need to register for the pipboy menu. TerminalMenu and TerminalHolotapeMenu will not work. When the terminal is 'exited', you are send back to the pipboy menu.
