Event Utilities

Send webhook messages to an external web server by interacting with in-game buildings.
Full multiplayer support - use it to implement quizzes, parkour courses, race tracks, and more!


Created by volunteers at the request of the [Satisfactory Events](https://www.twitch.tv/satisfactoryevents) group,
but the mod is usable by anyone.

Features

All content is free to build and unlock (Hub Tier 1 milestone).
If you want alternate costs, use [ContentLib](https://ficsit.app/mod/ContentLib) to change them.

Adds 2 devices that respond to player input/presence:

Button

Players can interact (use) to trigger, or trigger via any type of player-instigated damage.


Sensor Foundation

Detects when players (and player-operated vehicles) enter a two-foundation (8m x 8m x 8m) area above the building. Snapping is weird, sorry.
Use mods like [Infinite Nudge](https://ficsit.app/mod/InfiniteNudge) or [Rearchitector Redux](https://ficsit.app/mod/RearchitectorRedux) to help with positioning it.


Device Configuration

Each built copy of a device can be configured separately.
To configure what a device does, first use the `/gameShowEdit` chat command to enter editor mode.
In editor mode, interacting with the devices will open a configuration screen.
Run the command again to exit editor mode.


To use a name other than your player display name for the purpose of `%PLAYER_ID%`, run the `/gameShowName <name>` chat command.
This value is not saved and must be set upon every multiplayer rejoin.
To swap back to using your player display name, run `/gameShowName CLEAR`.

Mod Configuration

This mod is not very useful without an external application to connect to.
Setting that up is outside the scope of this guide.
Potential applications include OBS, Streamerbot or SAMMI.

To configure the server to connect to, supply a URL in the "Webhook URL" mod config option.
This is purposefully not using the Mod Savegame Settings system yet since there is not an easy way to ensure that only a server administrator can modify the URL.

Dedicated servers will need to manually edit the mod config file with a text editor.

All (attempted) message payloads are logged to the game's
[log files](https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_Logs),
which you should probably have open while setting up the mod to see any error messages.
You can open a live console window that shows logs in real-time by following the steps
[here](https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/TestingResources.html#_unreal_console).

Network Activity Transparency

The express purpose of this mod is to send messages to an external server you specify in the "Webhook URL" mod config option when users interact in-game.
This option is blank by default, so until you manually set one yourself, connections will always fail.
This external server could either be hosted by you or by someone else depending on what you configure.
In multiplayer, the server is the only side that makes connections.
As a player, messages can include your in-game display name depending on how in-game buildings are configured.
All message payloads are logged to the game's
[log files](https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_Logs).
