The characters |
The player and the other characters. Each but the player runs a script from a slot in CHARACTERS (CHARACTERS), the orders it will take at once are byte 6 of that slot (DO_TALK, DO_TALK), and its reactions are the entries of its script table keyed by an action (REACT, REACT). Carrying capacity is byte 3 of the record.

Each character works through a script a step at a time, each step an action it tries as if it had typed it (CHARACTERS_ACT, CHARACTERS_ACT). A step that names no object acts on whatever fits. "Switch to one of its first N scripts at random" is how a character wanders: its ordinary scripts are often one list entered at different places. The reactions are the scripts REACT (REACT) sends a character to when something is done to it.
