It's like Event, but with the best API and functionality.
JASS:
library Advent requires LinkedListModule /*
==========================================================================
Advent v3.1.0.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easy, light, dynamic & complete event registration
==========================================================================
Credits:

Created by Bribe
Idea by Jesus4Lyf and Nestharus
Many API additions thanks to Dirac

Requirements:

Intro:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advent allows you to create an Advent, add code to its execution queue,
remove certain code from its queue, fire all added codes, fire just one
single code and even destroy the Advent should its task be finished.
I created this library for some key reasons. For one, the existing Event
libraries have quite verbose API and their cross compatibility has quite
large problems. Nestharus wanted a fast solution and Jesus4Lyf wanted a
fully-dynamic solution.
Why not have both?
Advent combines tight code with complex functionality while not adding any
unnecessary performance overhead. If you know your code will run at any
point in the game, you can add permanent code that runs more quickly. If
you need dynamic code, you can take advantage of the AdventReg type which
allows you to do so.
You can also destroy Advents which completely destroys any & all code reg-
istered to them. I imagine this would only be used for some really complex
systems; it's mostly here for completeness.

API Guide:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
function CreateAdvent
takes nothing
returns Advent
Create a new Advent instance. You must create it before anything else.
* Advent adv = Advent.create()
function DestroyAdvent
takes Advent adv
returns nothing
Perhaps this is here just for completeness but it effectively allows
the system to be completely dynamic.
* call adv.destroy()
function RegisterAdvent
takes Advent adv, code c, boolean permanent
returns AdventReg
Register some code to be run when the Advent is fired. If you want to
be able to unregister the code at some point, set the permanent* flag
to false. If false, the function returns an AdventReg that is used to
identify it.
* AdventReg adreg = adv.registerEx(code) //Dynamic
* call adv.register(code) //Permanent
function UnregisterAdventReg
takes AdventReg node
returns nothing
Unregister an AdventReg from an Advent.
* call adreg.unregister()
function FireAdvent
takes Advent adv
returns nothing
Run all code that was registered to the Advent.
* call adv.fire()
function FireAdventData
takes Advent adv, integer data
returns nothing
Run all code that was registered to the Advent with an extra parameter
to pass a data integer. This is useful for certain systems to support
a single integer as a piece of data.
* call adv.fireData(data)
function GetAdventData
takes nothing
returns integer
Returns the data specified by FireAdventData.
* set data = Advent.data
function GetAdventReg
takes nothing
returns AdventReg
Returns the registry of the AdventReg that is currently firing. It is
pointless to use this if you aren't using dynamic Advent registries.
* set data = Advent.reg.data
- Yeah AdventReg has a data member now, thanks to Dirac.
function FireCode
takes code c, integer data
returns nothing
Call the code directly. This is useful if you are late registering an
Advent and you want this code to fire anyway, without firing the full
Advent. This function also helps to keep Advent.data readonly because
that is a very sensitive variable.
* Advent.fireCode(code, data)
