Basic Events

"Basic events" refer to what is basically known as "V2 events". They are considered legacy but the current modcharting paradigm still requires them for certain functions such as the ILightWithId functionality of Environment and Geometry.

All deprecated basic events that have an equivalent V3 event in the actual beatmap (e.g. BPMEvent, BoostEvent) are converted on load to their V3 counterpart.

Creating A Basic Event

All the builder functions for basic events in ReMapper are stored under a basicEvent namespace for organization purposes:

All basic events can be created either using the object constructor:

rm.basicEvent.rightLaserSpeed(map, {
    beat: 4,
    speed: 2,
    direction: rm.SpinDirection.CLOCKWISE
})

or by using their own special builder function with relevant parameters:

rm.basicEvent.rightLaserSpeed(map, 4, 2, rm.SpinDirection.CLOCKWISE)

there's also an abstract builder function which can be used to make any basic event, but it is typically unsafe.

rm.basicEvent.abstract(map, {
    beat: 4,
    customData: {
        speed: 2,
        direction: rm.SpinDirection.CLOCKWISE
    }
})
