 ===== Introduction to World Scripting =====
-The Universal allows world owners to control much of the game via script. Using the custom scripting language you can create new behaviours for items and scenes on your world. Although the scripting language is fairly simple, you will require some knowledge of programming to understand and make the most of the features on offer. Check [[scripting:basic_syntax|here]] for an introduction to the language, and a description of the general format and limitations, and for further in-depth specifications of the individual script commands, check the '[[scripting:Reference|Scripting Language Reference]]'.

To change your script file, modify it in a text editor (or in the in-game editor when its finished) and then tell the server to reload it bt pressing F11 (or using the command ***reloadscript**).
