(name)_(state)_hit

This is an MPF Event

The content on this page is technical documentation for an MPF Event.

The shot called (name) was just hit while in the profile (state).

Note that there are four events posted when a shot is hit, each with variants of the shot name, profile, and current state, allowing you to key in on the specific granularity you need.

Also remember that shots can have more than one active profile at a time (typically each associated with a mode), so a single hit to this shot might result in this event being posted multiple times with different (profile) and (state) values.
