General description

What they're useful for

• Centralize code
• Simplify code - can put complex if tests in separate FAR

Maybe go in order from least to most complex

• onActivate only
• Inputs/Outputs/Variables
• Heart-beat

Limitations

• Only 4 within each other
• Careful with Labels/loops

Preference over other script types (should really be on Global page)

• Compared to quest scripts
  • Run instantly
    • No need to handle timing issues and flags
    • Quest scripts may be more reliable for long-term scripts
• Compared to result scripts
  • Longer
  • Can store variables, use ref variables in functions
  • However, result scripts can have an infinite nest depth
• Compared to token
  • Store the information
  • Tokens better at keeping information for each actor, etc.
