set instant = Setting

Args

Setting: 1 for “instant” verbs; 0 otherwise.

Default value

0

Normally a player can only call one verb per tick, but they can call any number of “instant” verbs in the same tick. This setting is useful for commands called by the game’s interface, or for more responsive controls like for instance the use of “combos” in fighting games.

Verbs with the instant setting can be used on the same tick as a regular verb, but only one regular verb can be used each tick. Instant commands will jump ahead of non-instant commands in the queue.

Any verbs that are already built-in, such as movement commands, cannot be modified to use this setting. (Some, such as mouse commands, already use it.) You can, however, create replacement verbs of your own for most of them.
