Can you register_event with SVC_ messages like register_message does?

[SpannerSpammer]

Use register_message( ), instead, since it requires a message id.
Example; finding room type transitions:

...
public plugin_init( )
{
    ...
    register_message( SVC_ROOMTYPE, "Msg_RoomType" );
}

public Msg_RoomType( msg_id, msg_dest, msg_entity )
{
    if ( ( msg_id == SVC_ROOMTYPE ) && ( msg_dest == MSG_ONE ) && !is_user_bot( msg_entity ) )
    {
	new iVal = get_msg_arg_int( 1 );
	client_print( msg_entity, print_chat, "RoomType: <%d>^n", iVal );
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}

What exactly are you tying to hook?

It's possible to use register_event() by passing directly the value, like register_event("42", ...);
