script

(scripts) n. A function of a front end application like The Wizard, scripts allow players to execute a string of commands and even a degree of "intelligent" automation. Scripts can be executed either from the command line, or from a drop down menu in the front end. Though scripts do not execute quite as fast as macros, they are still faster than what a player could input typing, and their flexibility makes them a much more powerful tool overall.

2. n. Special code a Game Master assigns to an item, creature, or character in the game which gives them special characteristics not typical of most objects of that type or character of that sort. For example, a "scripted" cloak might be one that you can PULL to "bow with a flourish using your cloak", a capability that normal cloaks are not coded with.
