How do I modify script commands?

Question

Let's say I want to modify the "wait" script command very slightly. If I wanted to change it so it says "Press any key to continue..." instead of "Continue..." while waiting for input.

Is there any way to do that, or are script commands just built into the engine and impossible to modify?

Answer 1

Script commands are built in and impossible to modify.

However, the text they use can be changed if using the off-line editor - this is how the language support works. Copy the ContinueLabel template into your game (show all library elements at the bottom left; search for ContinueLabel at the top left; click Copy at the top right). Type your text into the box.

In code view, your game will now start like this:

<asl version="550">
  <include ref="English.aslx" />
  <include ref="Core.aslx" />
  <template name="ContinueLabel">Press any key to continue...</template>
  <game name= ...
