Modding:Flags

Flags are used in the game to store status information about a lot of things.

A flag is either set or not set. Events can check if certain flags are set in order to react to things that have previously happened in the game or to check if certain criteria are met.

Format

Flags can be used as requirement. Spaces between flags are interpreted as AND. | are interpreted as OR. Flags that are not stated are ignored.

+X +Y      // as requirement validates when flag X AND flag Y
+X | +Y    // as requirement validates when flag X OR flat Y
-X         // as requirement validates when NOT flag X

Flags can also be used to set flags. In this case the | symbol is used to select randomly to one of the components.

-X         // sets X as false
+X | -Y    // sets either flag X to true OR Y to false
