What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to dispatch 2 variables, the ‘playerIndex’ and ‘selection’.  
===My dispatch code snippet===  
world.events.dispatch(world.events.globalId, ‘listens’, {  
playerIndex,  
selection,  
})

In another script, I cannot receive the ‘playerIndex’ and ‘selection’  
===My add listen code snippet===  
world.events.addListener(world.events.globalId, ‘listens’, (playerIndex, selection) =\> {

```
  if (schemaAttribute.get(eid).playerID === playerIndex) {
          console.log(selection)
    }

```

})

How do I addlisten for 2 variables?

The listener passes an object which has a “Data” property that contains your variables. Change your listener to something like this and check the console to see the entire event object:

```ts
world.events.addListener(world.events.globalId, ‘listens’, (e) => {
    console.log(e)
})

```

This is the solution

world.events.dispatch(world.events.globalId, ‘playerSelectsModel’, {  
playerIndex,  
selection,  
})

If you wanted to use multiple variables you can do so like this

```auto
world.events.addListener(world.events.globalId, ‘playerSelectsModel’, (e) => {
    console.log(`Player Index: ${e.data.playerIndex}`)
    console.log(`Selection: ${e.data. selection}`)
})

```
