==Verbs==
You can choose the first person view, third person view, and for some verbs a message the room will get when you activate the item when hidden.

When planning the messaging, please keep in mind that the EZ script does not check for various statuses, so the messaging has to be fairly generic. For example, you cannot tilt your dagger and take a step forward, because the EZ script does not check to see if you are sitting first.

The full list of currently available verbs is clean, close, hug, kiss, open, pinch, poke, pull, push, raise, rub, tap, tickle, tilt, touch, toss, turn, wave, flip, remove, wear, lace, and smell. However, not all of these verbs may be available for your particular item or work the way you expect.

If your item is not wearable, you can disregard the held and worn categories below. If your item can be worn, there are some verb traps that will only work when worn. Wear and Remove will message appropriately if the item is wearable and can be customized with EZ script messaging. Open and close are available for containers only.

EZ scripts (formerly custom scripts) are a part of the Premium benefits allowing you to add a personal touch to your items. They are also often available as festival wins. You can tell if an item is EZ scripted by using the analyze verb.

Each initial EZ script costs 1200 premium points. Additional scripts cost 600 premium points. If your item already has the EZ script on it, say, from a festival win, each additional script will cost 600 points and you can disregard the initial 1200 point cost. If your item currently has any other script, it cannot also take the EZ script.

Analyze

You analyze your jackal-headed ring and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is an EzScripted item.  Some alteration restrictions may apply.  It has the following messaging:

  wave
  1st Person: You wave your noisemaker wildly over your head, and the movement of air through the contraption creates a low-toned whistle.  A tiny flurry of white, azure, and gold confetti floats down around you.
  3rd Person: Vanah waves her noisemaker wildly over her head, and the movement of air through the contraption creates a low-toned whistle.  A tiny flurry of white, azure, and gold confetti floats down around her.

  tilt
  1st Person: Tilting your noisemaker upside down, you give it a little shake, but no confetti falls out.  Holding it up, you peer into the open end, and all of a sudden a cloud of violet and silver confetti hits you in the face!
  3rd Person: Tilting her noisemaker upside down, Vanah gives it a little shake, but no confetti falls out.  Holding it up, she peers into the open end, and all of a sudden a cloud of violet and silver confetti hits her in the face!

Verbs

You can choose the first person view, third person view, and for some verbs a message the room will get when you activate the item when hidden.

When planning the messaging, please keep in mind that the EZ script does not check for various statuses, so the messaging has to be fairly generic. For example, you cannot tilt your dagger and take a step forward, because the EZ script does not check to see if you are sitting first.

The full list of currently available verbs is clean, close, hug, kiss, open, pinch, poke, pull, push, raise, rub, tap, tickle, tilt, touch, toss, turn, wave, flip, remove, wear, lace, and smell. However, not all of these verbs may be available for your particular item or work the way you expect.

If your item is not wearable, you can disregard the held and worn categories below. If your item can be worn, there are some verb traps that will only work when worn. Wear and Remove will message appropriately if the item is wearable and can be customized with EZ script messaging. Open and close are available for containers only.
