Triggers
In our scripting language, triggers are essential for executing specific blocks of code based on various events occurring in the game.
Triggers can be initiated by player actions, game mechanics, or specific conditions, enabling you to create dynamic interactions and gameplay experiences.
Yaml Syntax
When working with our plugins, you can expect to define triggers and actions in a simple, readable format. For instance, you might configure something like this in YAML:
In this example, the trigger is set to activate every 20 ticks (which is approximately one second in Minecraft). When the trigger is activated, the actions specified will be executed, sending a message to the player. This straightforward approach makes it easy to customize and extend functionality within your scripts.
