= Simple starter script example =
There are 2 different syntax/approaches to choose from:
* in a separate file
* all within the scriptable behavior parameter

I prefer to have my scripts run from a file rather than all keyed into the parameter of the script behavior. The syntax for a file script uses a new line for each new line rather than a semicolon for each new line which is done when it is all in the parameter. So:
* use the file browser on the grinder to create a new directory structure where to keep your scripts.
** I like the naming convention of starting in the resources folder/directory and then adding a path like: progs/areas/Midgaard for example.
* use the file browser to create your new text file
* enter the example script as follows:
<pre>
greet_prog 100
#this line is a comment line. Note that $i is a variable for the name of the mob the script is running on.
mpecho $i turns to look your direction.
~
</pre>
* save the file name: GreeterMob.script
* copy the full path name progs/areas/Midgaard/GreeterMob.script

In the grinder:
* edit the mob (in this case it assumes he is in the Midgaard area, just according to the naming convention)
** add the scriptable behavior
***enter the following parameter: load=progs/areas/Midgaard/GreeterMob.script
****note you can use paste to put in the path which you had copied earlier so you dont have to rekey it all and risk a typo

Thats it, next time you walk into the room with that mob, it should do the one line shown in the script.
