Quest Expressions

Quest expressions start with "="

Only supported for rewards.

example:

 =2*@par

Examples

 * =if(mousex()<10,'left','right') <- returns left or right according to mousex position
 * =property(pc(pc2d.billboard),propid(text)) <- returns the value of the "text" property from the "pc2d.billboard" pc in current entity.
 * =enemy+?i -> returns something like enemy13 (if i pcproperty was 13 at the moment)
 * =[1,2,3] -> returns a vector3 with contents x=1 y=2 z=3

Annex 1: Dynamic parameters

If you use @par (instead of the already existing $par notation) you can get dynamic parameters from triggers. As opposed to static ($par) parameters these parameters can change every time the reward is fired. Currently there are the following limitations:

 * @par notation does not work in triggers (that will stay).
 * @par notation does not work in sequences.

Dynamic parameters each trigger sends

 * message --> forwards all message parameters
 * inventory --> @child (name of added or removed entity)
 * meshsel --> @entity (name of the selected entity)
 * trigger --> @entity (name of the entity triggering)
