EVENT_EGS is a Game Event.
This event is triggered when a new sprite is spawned on the map after load. It is NOT triggered for any pre-placed sprites that are already on the map at load-time.
In comparison, EVENT_SPAWN runs for all sprites that pre-exist when the map is loaded, AS WELL AS all newly spawned sprites.
Note that EVENT_EGS and EVENT_SPAWN are triggered the moment the sprite is spawned.
For example:
useractor notenemy ACTOR
espawn PIGCOP
setactor[RETURN].pal 1
enda
onevent EVENT_EGS
ifactor PIGCOP
spritepal 2
endevent
In this case, the PIGCOP palette will be 1, because EVENT_EGS takes place before the lines below the espawn command.
Deleting sprites during EVENT_EGS may cause problems, since some hard-coded functions may try to change their properties after they were spawned (similar to the espawn example above).
EVENT_EGS can be used to save the original sprite owner before it's changed.
