Script Interface

The scripting interface in The Forgotten Server is supported by the Lua programming language. You can customize the server with scripts for the following interfaces:

• Action events (using items)
• Chat channel events (joining, speaking and leaving)
• Creature events (login, logout and death)
• Global events (startup, shutdown, players record, timed, intervals)
• Monster events (artificial intelligence)
• Movements (creature step in/out, moving items)
• NPCs (artificial intelligence)
• Raids
• Talkactions (speaking in local chat)
• Weapons

The script interface provides the following metatables:

• Metatable: Combat
• Metatable: Condition
• Metatable: Container
• Metatable: Creature
• Metatable: Group
• Metatable: Guild
• Metatable: House
• Metatable: Item

• Metatable: Player
• Metatable: Position
• Metatable: Town
• Metatable: Tile
• Metatable: Vocation
