Double event logging

[tantrik]

I am trying to write a mod in which i have to track a sequence of events. For example, when we kill a mob one event is fired, and immediately another event is fired that gives u a certain buff. Is there a way to track the events such that a lua function is executed only when the two events occur in succession.

Another example will be when a mob dies and you gain reputation. The function should not fire when u only gain rep or only the mob dies, but when a mob dies and u gain reputation.

That would be possible. Basically, start 2 event listeners - as you've most likely done already - and get the first one to set a variable stating the current time in milliseconds / seconds. On the second event, compare the difference between the current time and the last time recorded, and if it's less than half a second or so, you have your new "event".
