======Script======
----

A **script** is a resource type that is used to trigger various events during your game or to manipulate and evaluate data. They can be triggered by various methods like the player interacting with an [[object]] or stepping onto a [[tile]], or from within a [[dialogue]] to invoke cutscene events. Scripts are created visually in the node-based [[Script Editor]] or, in certain situations, from source code using the [[Quick Script Builder]].

**Examples:**
  * Playing an "opening" [[animation]] and giving an [[item]] to the player when they click on a treasure chest.
  * Initiating a cutscene or a [[battle]] when the player steps onto a specific [[tile]].
  * Moving the camera to focus on a [[character]] as they speak during some [[dialogue]].

Each game requires at least one script, specifically the [[startup script]]. This script is set in the [[Game Configuration]] and instructs the game what to do when it first launches, for example loading a [[map]] and displaying a message to the player.
