Event triggering a macro question

[Fiasco]

My Denon plugin fires an event for off/on state like so

DenonSerial.Power 'STANDBY'
and
DenonSerial.Power 'ON'

Is it possible to trigger a macro and include the payload as part of the event that triggers the macro or do I have to rewrite my Denon plugin and append STANDBY and ON to the event itself?

[jinxdone]

As far as I know it's not possible to trigger a macro using also the payload.

Actually it sounds like the Denon serial plugin should be changed to generate for example DenonSerial.Power_STANDBY and DenonSerial.Power_ON instead because that will be easier to use.

You can do a little script compare the payload to a given value and use a conditional jump afterwards.
using points in the event names to separate logical section is preferable most times.

[jinxdone]

Yep, It is possible to string compare etc. but it's not as convenient as just drag & dropping the event to a macro.

Maybe we should have a guideline for event naming / payload usage for scripters? It could help to make EG more streamlined.

Looks like the simple way to solve the problem is to alter my denon script as jinx has suggested.
