{{Note|This event isn't triggered within the resource starting.}}
'''Important:''' If you attach this event to the root element it will called when ''any'' resource starts, not just the resource your script is running inside. As such, most of the time you will want to check that the resource passed to this event matches your resource (compare with the value returned by [[getThisResource]]) before doing anything. Alternatively you can attach the event to [[getResourceRootElement]]([[getThisResource]]()).
