I just realized that there is not a single example on how to pass arguments with events. It's very easy to do, though:

struct EvWhatever : sc::event< EvWhatever >
{
    int Arg1;
    double Arg2;
    // More arguments here
};

You might want to add a constructor that accepts corresponding arguments and sets the data members Arg1 & Arg2 accordingly.

You can access Arg1 & Arg2 in the react member function, in a transition action or the function called by an in_state_reaction.

Hope this helps. if not, please let me know.
