Description

The Integrate script serves a very specific purpose. When the user triggers the integration of pending actors into an existing combat within the Tactical Console, this script allows the author to piggyback additional special handling. In general, you should not need to perform any special behaviors, but the mechanism is provided just in case.

When integration is triggered by the user, the Integrate script is applied to each actor after it has been properly integrated into the combat. When invoked, the Integrate script starts with the "actor" pick of an actor as its initial context.

Example

In a game system like D&D 4th Edition, there are "encounter" powers, which can be used once per encounter. It might make sense for a game like this to automatically reset the state of each encounter power within the Integrate script. If so, then the corresponding script might look like below.

foreach pick in hero where "Power.Encounter"
  eachpick.field[pwrIsUsed].value = 0
