Introduction to Scripts
Scripts add life to the MUD, they allow you to define special events that happen when the player does something, or which happen completely at random. The DG scripts reference gives a good intoduction to creating scripts so that won't be covered here. It is suggested that you read the DG scripts reference over before continuing on in this document.
tedit is the command to edit and view scripts.
The name of the script is the way you identify the script in the tedit list display, it has no bearing on how the script works, but is useful if you need to find a particular script later from a mass of them.

0: Mobiles, 1: Objects, 2: Rooms

The numeric argument's purpose differs with respect to the different triggers that can be used. All the information pertaining to the numeric arguments can be found in the DGscripts reference pages (the triggers page).
The arguments, like the numeric argument, differ according to what trigger is being used. See the DGscripts reference for the appropriate use of arguments.
The commands section contains the script itself. The script is entered using the standard text editor. It is recommended that you have the script written down on paper before starting so that you don't make a hard to fix mistake while using the text editor.
