Action scripts are small routines that are not really worth coding up as a plugin, but are otherwise very powerful and are executed on the server itself. They can be attached to any object in a region via Fiddle>Modify Actions, or by setting Properties that trigger on certain events. Only super-admins (i.e. Amanda) can create and edit the scripts.
Scripts are triggered in a number of ways.
Directly, by setting id_action and next_action (unixtime in seconds) which is when you want it to happen.
On purchase from vendo - sets action to that of property defaultAction, with a delay of property defaultActionTime
On pick up of item - ditto.
On dropping an item - sets action to that of property dropAction, after delay of property dropActionTime
On sitting on an item - sets action to that of property sitAction, after delay of property sitActionTime
On drinking a potion - if potionType is set to scriptnn where nn is the id of a script, immediately execute script (only tick delay). Properties potionDrinkSelf and potionDrinkOthers hold messages to display to the users.
If an action is intended to repeat itself, the script is responsible for setting a new next_action time and, of necessary, new id_action. Default is for a script to be executed once and next_action time set to 0 (disabled)
Current scripts:

| 2 | Fat Potion | Used by potions. Sets you as a.WholesomeFem.img for a while. (Buggy) | |
| 3 | Dead plant | Used in pick-up. Sets plant as dying, then 15s triggers “delete object | |
