!
! This file contains NAMES that can be used instead of numeric values
! when you are writing scripts or creating worlds.  These names make
! it a lot easier to create the games because you don't have to remember
! what the numbers mean. You can use the name instead.
!
! For example, the script line:
!
!    if object.type = WEAPON then ..
!
! clearly is testing whether a given object is of type WEAPON.  It is
! a lot better than trying to remember that weapons are represented by
! a # 1, as in:
!
!    if object.type = 1 then ..
!
! You are welcome to add new tokens to this list, and to change the names
! being used.  However, you should not REMOVE entries unless you are very
! sure of what you are doing.
!
! Tokens are listed in groups, with the name of the group enclosed in
! brackets [group-name] and preceeding each group.  You can create your
! own groups, but the groups already here must remain.  You can change
! the lists, but the group names must not be changed.  They are used to
! tell the game system what names are associated with specific types of
! values.
!
! A brief explanation of what the values in a group mean preceeds each
! group.
!

!
! TYPES OF ACTIONS THAT INVOKE SCRIPTS.
! The value shown below cannot be modifed.  The name can be changed to any
! name you wish.  When a script is invoked, it starts executing at the
! label :@<name>, where name is one of those listed below.  The ACTION
! global variable returns the value of the action that invoked the script.

! Note that object behaviour is controlled by the script OBJECT.SCR, which
! uses the object's TYPE and CLASS to decide how the object behaves.

!-------------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! OBJECT MODIFIERS:
!
! Every object has a set of 5 'generic' attributes which have different
! meaning depending on the object's type.  These attributes are named
! m0 through m4, but this section allows you to assign specific names to
! the attributes.
!
! For example, a WEAPON may use the attributes as follows:
!
!  object.m0 = # of HANDS needed to hold the weapon (0, 1 or 2)
!  object.m1 = RANGE of the weapon (how many squares away can it hit)
!  object.m2 = DAMAGE done during battle (deducted from monster's hit points)
!  object.m3 = Type of AMMUNITION used by the weapon (if any)
!  object.m4 = not used for weapons
!
! Thus, the following definitions are made below:
!
!   .M0 = HANDS
!   .M1 = RANGE
!   .M2 = DAMAGE
!   .M3 = AMMONEEDED
!
! Which means that your script can have the line:
!
!   if player.weapon.hands > 2 then
!     writeln( "That weapon was made for an octupuss, which you are not.." );
!     ..
!
! instead of
!
!   if player.weapon.m0 > 2 then
!     writeln( "That weapon was made for an octupuss, which you are not.." );
!     ..
!
! NOTE: The names listed below are 'aliases' for the real names m0 through m4,
! which exist for all objects.  No attempt is made to verify that the alias
! you have used is 'valid' for the object's type.  Thus, the following line
! is also equivalent to the two lines in the example above:
!
!   if player.weapon.ac > 2 then
!     writeln( "That weapon was made for an octupuss, which you are not.." );
!     ..
!
! because the alias 'ac' is an alias for m0, the same as the alias 'hands'.

!
! WORLD DENSITIES
!
! These values are used to represent the landscaping density, and are
! used by the game driver to determine where a player can go, whether
! walking or riding a vehicle.  The values between 0 and 15 are reserved
! for use by the game system, but you can add new values from 16 to 255.
!
! For example, you might use value 27 to indicate a block that is a
! magical gate.  If you step on the gate at exactly midnight, you get
! transported somewhere.  You can then add some lines to the control
! script to check for midnight, and at exactly midnight verify if the
! character is standing on a landscape block with density 27.  If so,
! you would transfer the character to wherever you wanted to go.
!
! Any density value over 15 is treated as a 0, which means that it is
! equivalent to LAND (i.e. the character can walk on it, but a raft or
! boat cannot).

!
! OTHER TOKENS
!
! The rest of the tokens are just names associated with values.  They
! are not used internally by the game system, only by the scripts.  You
! may add any number of sections below, as long as the names are unique
! and different from the ones above.
!

!
! ENDGAME attribute values:  The object attribute 'endgame' can be set
! to a non-zero value to indicate that the object causes the end of the
! game when a certain action happens.  The value 1 indicates that the game
! should end when the player GETs the object.  The value 2 indicates that
! the game should end when the object is given to a quester.  (See the
! QUESTER script).  The value 3 means the game should end when the player
! USEs the object.  Values 4 through 15 are reserved for expansion.  The
! values from 16 to 255 may be used as you please.
!
[END-GAME VALUES]
END_ON_GET     1    ! Game ends if you GET this object       (OBJECT.SCR)
END_ON_GIVE    2    ! Game ends if you GIVE the object       (QUESTER.SCR)
END_ON_USE     3    ! Game ends if you USE/INVOKE the object (OBJECT.SCR)
