Asks the server for the current list of world events shown in the Current Events window.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
CurrentEventsUpdate()<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
Nothing.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The request is throttled: if the previous request was made less than one second ago, the call does nothing.<br />
* Nothing is sent if the current-events data is not available or the connection is not ready. A call that passes the throttle restarts the one-second wait even when nothing is sent because the connection is not ready.<br />
* The answer arrives later. The stock UI reads the list with [[API:CurrentEventsGetList|CurrentEventsGetList]] and listens for <code>SystemData.Events.CURRENT_EVENTS_LIST_UPDATED</code>.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>default/ea_currenteventswindow/source/currenteventswindow.lua</code>, refreshing the list whenever the window is opened:<br />
<pre><br />
function EA_Window_CurrentEvents.OnShown()<br />
WindowUtils.OnShown()<br />
CurrentEventsUpdate() <br />
end<br />
</pre><br />
