addEventListener

[Robin]

Because you currently can't do that with catch event.

Or can you? Are you able to hook the current onTimeout of a script and simultaneously have both an onTimeout and another event called of your choosing without putting anything in the onTimeout?

I've tried it, and it doesn't work, at least not serverside.

So you can be negative about this, or you can feel positive that you're getting your own way, albeit via a different function, rather than your seemingly beloved catchevent, which I cannot seem to get working on ANY script event OTHER than GUI events!

Exactly

Well duh, and you can't do addeventlistener() either. Its simpler for Stefan to edit catchevent() to do what I'm saying than it is to add what you're suggesting and confuse people with having two ways of doing the same thing.

I'm glad someone understands.
