Aside: This works equally well for basic items, etc. However, much of the time you want to introduce a persistant scripted item in to the game. This is a bit more tricky since objects easily lose their scripts when being moved from 3D (the world) to 2D (an inventory/container). To do this firstly it is a good idea to have a room of your own to hold stuff, even if you can never get to this area from inside the game. The reason is by doing this you will never cause mod conflicts.

Token Origin: I wish I could say I invented tokens but I didn't. It appears they started out in thread discussions and were eventually put to use by early adopters such as Scruggs. Through thread discussions, I have only helped solidify our understanding of how and when to use them. | Token Origin: I wish I could say I invented tokens but I didn't.
