Ez scripted items have all been converted to the Flourishes system. The conversion will be automatic when the item is analyzed or used. This will free up the script or subscript slot as appropriate. This should be largely a behind the scenes move functionally, and free up the item for script adds, and open up ezscript additions to scripted items to allow you to customize an item more perfectly for yourself.

Please keep in mind that script verb traps have priority over flourish traps. If a script uses a verb, the flourish cannot use that same verb. Existing ezscript verb traps will not be changed.

Alterations still need to take into account all ezscript messaging, in addition to any alteration requirements of the primary script.

We are also adding 12 new verb traps to the ezscript system.

Six will check that the player is standing, and can be used for verb traps that involve movement that wouldn't make sense sitting or prone -- taking a step forward, dancing, etc.: bow, bounce, curtsy, lean, prance, swoon

Six will check that the player is not silenced (210, throat chop, cutthroat, etc) and allow the player to produce a sound -- shouting, murmuring, etc.: chortle, growl, purr, roar, whistle, yell

Currently supported verbs

bounce, bow, clean, close, chortle, curtsy, flip, growl, hug, kiss, lace, lean, open, pinch, poke, prance, pull, purr, push, raise, roar, rub, smell, swoon, tap, tickle, tilt, touch, toss, turn, wave, remove, wear, whistle, yell

  • These verbs will check if the player is silenced: chortle, growl, purr, roar, whistle, yell
  • These verbs will only work if the player is standing: bow, bounce, curtsy, lean, prance, swoon
  • Open and close will only work on containers.
  • Lace and wear will only work while held.
  • For other traps, if the item can be worn, the verb traps will only work while worn. Except for wearable weapons, which will only work while held.
  • Not all verbs will allow hidden or invisible messaging. If the hidden messaging is important to you, please specify so the GM working with you can double check.

tldr

EZScript is now a Flourish! 12 new EZScript verb traps!
