Composed events are built from more than one lua object. You can do them by simply adding more parameters to the observe/trigger functions. For example, this trigger.

Notice that the two "non-observed integers" will be passed to the callback as additional parameters. That second action will be executed any time player1 is detected, no matter what coordinates.

If you want to detect all signals raised (i.e. for logging and debugging) you can do so by observing the "empty" event - simply pass a function to observe, without adding any more params.

On this example I've assigned it to a local variable. If you are going to use Beholder across multiple files, it's better to require the file just once and make the variable global.

The @package.path@ variable must be configured so that the folder in which beholder.lua is copied is available, of course. The @package.path@ variable must be configured so that the folder in which beholder.lua is copied is available, of course.
