When you choose the event type, you specify what type of event your script is is intended to "respond" to. In other words, what must happen for Jin to run your script.

The event subtypes selection specifies which of the subtypes of the chosen event type your script will "respond" to. If the selected event type has no subtypes, then no checkboxes will appear and your script will be run whenever an event of the chosen type occurs.
