Creatures Caves

Over the years of my playing creatures, I've found that CAOS was a very usfull and entertaining tool at my disposal.

So, I reaserched a bit and found quite a bit of CAOS commands. Some of them are for agent making. Others are for basic gameplay.

So, I will now share these commands with you all. These are in no particular order (execpt by order they were copied) and some are not even CAOS at all! (keyboard shortcuts) These are all, of course, for C3/DS

Here they are:
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

ATTR:

1 -Carryable -Can be picked up by things other than creatures, vehicles and the pointer.
2 -Mouseable -Can be picked up by the mouse.
4 -Activateable -Can be activated using the mouse - otherwise CLAC and CLIK style events don't get sent when you click on the agent.
8 -Greedy -Cabin When set on a vehicle, it will automatically pick up things dropped in its cabin.
16 -Invisible -Creatures don't see you - applies to ESEE and STAR on creatures, as well as internal creature code.
32 -Floatable -Agent floats relative to the screen. Move it with FLTO. If you call FREL, the agent will float relative to another agent instead of the screen.
64 -Suffer Collisions -Will collide with room boundaries, according to its PERM.
128 -Suffer Physics -Agent falls with proper physics, including gravity, air resistance and friction. Otherwise, it simply moves with velocity.
256 -Camera Shy Agent can't be seen on a remote camera (PAT: CMRA) or photograph (SNAP). For vehicles, the contents are shy as well.
512 -Open Air Cabin

BHVR:

32 -Pick Up -Creature can pick up this agent.

physics...

elas : this controls the elasticity (bouncie bouncieness) of the object.. I.e. rubber ball versus rock.

accg: acceleration due to gravity OR weight in other words.... Either way, how fast it falls!

fric : friction of the object.. I.e. if it has high friction it won't slide down a slope so fast

aero: Aerodynamics .. or how fast the object will fly if you pick it up and throw it

perm: A little more complicated, this is used to govern the different levels, and different depths
within the game and is why some apples will land on the wooden walkway , while some will fall
all the way to the norn garden. More later.

INST : causes whatever script you've injected into the world to execute (run) immediately, i.e.
the game will run this whole script before continuing at all. If it's a big script, there might be a
considerable pause in the game.. If not, then eh... who cares

MVTO x , y : Move to the X,Y coordinate, i.e. in C3, mvto 700 750, would move the current object
into the norn nursery area.

ENDM : Signals the end of the current script.
