Character Functions

The object-oriented functions for characters can be listed by typing a dot (full-stop ".") immediately after the character reference "%character%", a character key, or the player-character function %Player%, in either a text box or an expression.

These names are CASE SENSITIVE. "%Character%." wont work, you must type "%character%."

This allows direct access to the property values of any character, location or object without having to use the %PropertyValue[]% function

Scroll down to the wanted property and click on it to insert the property key into the function.

• Note that properties that are not relevant to a particular character will be ommited from the list.
• Properties that you create and add to the characters will be added to this list.
• If you type part of the name of the property then the list will be reduced to show only those that match.
• Instead of clicking with the mouse you can type enough of the properties name to bring it to the top of the list and press enter or tab.
