===Scriptable===
Targets: MOBs, Items, Rooms
Parameters: (see below)
Examples: LOAD=progs/mrinfo.script~
Description: This behavior allows the reactions and behaviors of the mob to be scripted. The parameter may be complete scripts, and/or LOAD commands as specified below. If you choose to use a file for your script, then each script command line must be terminated by a linefeed or a semicolon. If you choose to put your entire script into the parameters, you must terminate EVERY line with a semicolon (;).

Multiple scripts with multiple triggers may be included. Each script and trigger must be separated by the ~ character. See examples in the resources/progs directory! Now to the script itself:

The first line must be a trigger word followed by any parameters. Valid triggers and parameters are as follows:

  • LOAD=(SCRIPT PATH) - insert a new script from another file. Ex: LOAD=progs/my.script~

  • EXIT_PROG (PCT CHANCE) - Triggers whenever anyone exits the room of the monster.
  • DEATH_PROG - When the monster dies.
  • KILL_PROG - When the monster kills.
  • HITPRCNT_PROG (HP PCT) - When the monster reaches the hit points % remaining.
  • MASK_PROG (P) (A PHRASE)/(ONE OR MORE WORDS) - When a mob performs an action with these words.
  • IMASK_PROG (P) (A PHRASE)/(ONE OR MORE WORDS) - When this mob performs an action with these words.

--- NOTE Phrases for MASK_PROG, GIVE_PROG, GET_PROG, PUT_PROG, REMOVE_PROG, WEAR_PROG, BUY_PROG, SELL_PROG, and SPEECH_PROG must group words and phrases together using the "'" character, for instance 'a phrase' or 'multiple words'. The characteris unnecessary when put around single words 'word'.

--- NOTE If Scriptable is placed on an Item, triggers such as GET_PROG, DROP_PROG, WEAR_PROG, and REMOVE_PROG will only trigger when the scripted item is involved.

--- NOTE MASK_PROG and ACT_PROG will check commands as they appear to the mob with this behavior. Consider perspective, vision, and word tense in light of this fact when wording your masks. For instance, the purchase of a sword in a dark shop may be seen as 'Someone buys something from someone' instead of 'Bob buys a sword from Joe'.
