Ylands:Game logic - Entity label

Description

Dynamic list of entities which can be adjusted from script.

Label is dynamic list of entities. Each entity can be part of any number of Labels. You can target Label in actions. You can constrain Trigger Zones to react only to entities with specific label. You can constraint Event Listener to listen events only on entities with specific Label. Label collection is dynamic. You can add/remove Label from entities during play.

Entities removed from the world (destroyed/exchanged for a corpse) will remove themselves from associated Labels automatically.

Caveat: any player after its death is not removed from the world so he keeps himself in all associated Labels.

Settings

• Entities - list of entities belonging to current Label
• New entities assigned trough actions are put at the end of the list. You can use this to work specifically with newest/oldest entities within Label
