Can you say more about your time event? Depending on what you mean, the
event function may not be the most effective way to handle it. For instance,
if you want to solve the system until a specified end time, I would make the
final element of the tspan vector be that specified end time rather than
specifying an arbitrarily long tspan and having the event function cut off
the solver at the specified end time.

"value, isterminal, and direction are vectors for which the ith element
corresponds to the ith event function: "
Have your events function return three 2-element vectors where the first
element corresponds to your time event and the second to your position
event.
