#SCRIPTS sections

Sometimes, you want to be able to use the same script for several mobs, objects or rooms. You COULD could cut and paste the script for every room, for example, but then if you wanted to later tweak the script, you would have to modify it for every room.

 Instead, you could write the script in the #SCRIPTS section, then use @include for every room you wanted the script to be linked to. 

Format:  

#SCRIPTS
#<script name>
<destination type (room|mob|object)>
<script>
....
#END

Example: 

#6626
Messy Kitchen~
You stand in the kitchen and eating area of the day care center.  Pots and
pans are everywhere, while the toddlers continue to create chaos.

#SCRIPTS
#test1
room
@speech hi~
{
   say test1 fired!
}
~
#END

Note that there are some limitations. First, you must declare the scripts in the area you wish to use them... @includes do not work across areas. Second, you cannot access dynamic variables other than globals declared at the area level.
