The "procedure" Element

If you need to invoke the same script code from multiple scripts, then you should consider writing a re-usable procedure that defines the code once and can be called from multiple scripts. Each procedure is defined through the use of a "procedure" element. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

id Id – Specifies the unique id of the procedure. This id is used in all references to the procedure.
context (Optional) Set – Designates a general script context from which this procedure is designed to be called. A script context spans multiple different script types that are related in nature and behavior. Must be one of these values:
  • unknown – Procedure may only be invoked from within a specific type of script, as dictated by the "scripttype" attribute (below).
  • pick – Procedure can be called from any script with a pick as its initial context.
  • container – Procedure can be called from any script with a container as its initial context.
  • entity – Procedure can be called from entity-related scripts, such as the TitleBar Script.
  • info – Procedure can be called from any information synthesis script for a thing or pick, such as the MouseInfo Script.
  • transact – Procedure can be called from any transaction script, such as the TransactBuy Script.
  • combat – Procedure can be called from any combat-related script, such as the NewCombat Script.
  • Default: "unknown".
scripttype (Optional) Set – Designates the specific script type from which this procedure may be called. The procedure may only be called from scripts of this type. Must be one of these values:
  • unknown – Procedure may be invoked from a general category of scripts, as dictated by the "context" attribute (above).
  • finalize – Procedure may only be called from within a Finalize Script.
  • calculate – Procedure may only be called from within a Calculate Script.
  • bounds – Procedure may only be called from within a Bound Script.
  • eval – Procedure may only be called from within an Eval Script.
  • evalrule – Procedure may only be called from within an EvalRule Script.
  • mouseinfo – Procedure may only be called from within a MouseInfo Script.
  • titlebar – Procedure may only be called from within a TitleBar Script.
  • description – Procedure may only be called from within a Description Script.
  • trigger – Procedure may only be called from within a Trigger Script.
  • label – Procedure may only be called from within a Label Script.
  • validate – Procedure may only be called from within a Validate Script.
  • xactsetup – Procedure may only be called from within a TransactSetup Script.
  • xactbuy – Procedure may only be called from within a TransactBuy Script.
  • xactsell – Procedure may only be called from within a TransactSell Script.
  • newcombat – Procedure may only be called from within a NewCombat Script.
  • endcombat – Procedure may only be called from within an EndCombat Script.
  • newturn – Procedure may only be called from within a NewTurn Script.
  • integrate – Procedure may only be called from within an Integrate Script.
  • synthesize – Procedure may only be called from within a Synthesize Script.
  • change– Procedure may only be called from within a Change Script.
  • none – Procedure may be called from any type of script. However, there is no initial context for identifiers, so no context transitions may be specified that don't explicitly designate a safe initial context (e.g. "hero."). This procedure type is useful when all inputs can be passed via variables and all results returned via variables.
  • Default: "unknown".

NOTE! It is valid to setup a focus pick via "setfocus" within a calling script and then utilize the inherited focus pick within a procedure of type "none".

PCDATA Script – Specifies the code comprising the procedure.

Example

The following example demonstrates what a "procedure" element might look like. All default values are assumed for optional attributes. 

<procedure id="MyProc" context="info">
  ~insert script code here
  </procedure>

<procedure id="MyProc" scripttype="eval">
  ~insert script code here
  </procedure>
