- 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
