Using same event handler for multiple events. How do I differantiate the event sources?

I was going to suggest modifying the above code slightly to use a value returned from StateChangesEvent.Await() but that seems to return an empty tuple instead of the agent I expected. So to modify it it needs a bit of an awkward workaround but I think something like below would work. This could technically not have exactly the same functionality as StateChangesEvent but might still be what you want.

settings_playerhealth_device := class(creative_device):

    @editable
    HealthSwitches: []switch_device = array{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        for (Index->HealthSwitch : HealthSwitches):
            spawn {AwaitSwitchStateChange(HealthSwitch, Index)}

    AwaitSwitchStateChange(HealthSwitch:switch_device, Index:int)<suspends>:void=
        loop:
            InstigatorAgent := race:
                HealthSwitch.TurnedOffEvent.Await()
                HealthSwitch.TurnedOnEvent.Await()

            Print("Health switch at index {Index} changed")

I used the TurnedOffEvent and TurnedOnEvent which do return the instigator.
