Event: S_EVENT_SHOT Added with: 1.2.4
Enum ID: 1 Event Locality: None
Description: Occurs whenever any unit in a mission fires a weapon. But not any machine gun or autocannon based weapon, those are handled by shooting_start.
Table Format: The shot event table is in the following format.
Event = {
  id = 1,
  time = Time,
  initiator = Unit,
  weapon = Weapon
}
Examples: The following creates a message box stating the unit name has fired a weapon with the given name. If the weapon object returns a target then that target will also be displayed.
   local e = {}
   function e:onEvent(event)
      if event.id == 1 then
             local m = {}
             m[#m+1] = event.initiator:getName()
             m[#m+1] = ' has fired a '
             m[#m+1] = event.weapon:getDisplayName()
             local tgt = event.weapon:getTarget()
             if tgt then
                 m[#m+1] = ' at a target  '
                 m[#m+1] = tgt:getTypeName()
             end
            trigger.action.outText(table.concat(m), 60)
          end
    end
    world.addEventHandler(e)
