## Syntax

```lua
bool wasEventCancelled()
```

## Returns

`true` if the last finished event was cancelled, else `false`.

```lua
addEvent("onShopOpen")

triggerEvent("onShopOpen", resourceRoot)
if wasEventCancelled() then
    outputDebugString("shop closed: " .. getCancelReason())
end
```

### Note

Inside a handler, the answer is about the last event that already finished, not the one running.
