Introduction

Pattern scripts is special kind of expressions that returns 1 or 0 used to determine availability of some functionality or event. This scripts can check for very wide range of conditions (gametime, special parms of entities, infoportions etc.).

Usage examples:

  • Enemy appearance (some enemies are only active at night, some only at day etc.)
  • Gamemodels damage masks (checks if could be damaged by certain weapon)
  • Checking if trigger could be touched

Basic syntax:

 // this script check if its a night or if there is an enemy within 300 units
 night | enemy<300>.found
 // this scripts check if gametime is between 12 and 14 hours
 hour =><= 12 14
 // this script check if it's fullmoon night or raining 
 (night & fullmoon) | raining

Operators

Link expressions together.

Operator Example Description
Logical operators (only applicable between expressions)
( ) ( expression ) Expression
& x & y Logical 'And'
| x | y Logical 'Or'
not x & not y Logical Not
Comparison operators
= x = y Equal
!= x != y Not equal
> x > y Greater
>= x >= y Greater or equal
< x < y Lesser
<= x <= y Lesser or equal
>< x >< start end x > start And x < end
=>< x =>< start end x >= start And x < end
><= x ><= start end x > start And x <= end
=><= x =><= start end x >= start And x <= end


Functions

Set of functions is determined by pattern implementation. There is two pattern implementations as of yet.

GenericPattern

This is generic appearance pattern. It used on enemies appearance, zone appearance.

Operator Description
true Always returns 1

  • solved - puzzle trigger is solved. This is only applicable to: trigger_puzzle.
  • killed - entity was killed (deadflag is set).
  • dist x operator - check distance to activator.
