<br>
We've used the Properties Box before, but never taken a full tour of its features. They are:<br>
<br>
<U>Expression</U>: Used to choose the Emoticube that will represent the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> in the Storyteller display. <br>
<br>
<U>Audience</U>: Used to decide who witnesses the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#00c0ff">Event</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. This is covered in detail in <a href="t-d-04-audience-requirements.html">Audience Types</a>.<br>
<br>
<U>Description</U>: The Author uses this to describe what the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> does. This text will show up as a tooltip in Storyteller, telling the Player exactly what the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> means and what will happen if they choose that </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">.<br>
<br>
<U>hijackable</U>: Whether or not the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> can be hijacked (see <a href="t-a-13-hijacking.html">Hijacking</a>).<br>
<br>
<U>occupies DirObject</U>: Usually the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0000ff">DirObject</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> is part of the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#00c0ff">Event</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> and so is occupied by it (unable to do anything else until it ends). However, there are a few rare cases in which you might not want the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0000ff">DirObject</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> to be occupied by the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#00c0ff">Event</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. These are usually cases in which the Audience is set to “Mental State” or “Subject Only”.<br>
<br>
<U>use Abort Script</U>: Whether or not you want the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> to have an Abort Script (see <a href="t-b-02-abort-script.html">Abort Script</a>). <br>
<br>
<U>TimeToPrepare</U>: The amount of time that must elapse after setting the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#00c0ff">Plan</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> before it can be executed. Usually TimeToPrepare is </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#800000">1</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">.<br>
<br>
<U>TimeToExecute</U>: How long the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0000ff">Subject</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> is tied down in the execution of the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. Usually TimeToExecute is </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#800000">1</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. <br>
<br>
<U>Trivial_Momentous</U>: Useful for measuring the dramatic import of a </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. Will be more important in future versions of Storytron.<br>
<br>
<U>WordSockets</U>: Here's where the Author creates the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSockets</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> used by the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. Every </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> has two default </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSockets</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">: </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0000ff">Subject</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> and </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">. Up to thirteen additional </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSockets</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> can be created for </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0000ff">Actors</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">, </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#ff00ff">Props</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">, </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#ff8000">Stages</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">, certain Traits, and </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#400080">Quantifiers</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> that will participate in the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> (detailed examples in <a href="t-d-02-word-sockets.html">WordSockets</a>). <br>
<br>
<U>Visible?</U>: Whether the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSocket</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> is visible to the Player. </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">Usually </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSockets</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> are visible, but in certain cases, you may want to hide them from the Player.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04">Suffix: Here's where the Author defines additional words to be displayed in the Deikto Sentence depicting the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Verb</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> to the Player, making the Sentence easier to understand. Example in <a href="t-d-02-word-sockets.html">WordSockets</a>.<br>
<br>
<U>Note to Myself</U>: For the Author's use in keeping track of which </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#0080a0">WordSocket</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> holds which component. Contents of this field appear as a tooltip in the </font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04" color="#008000">Options</font><font face="Bookman Old Style" class="fsx04"> display of the Verb Editor. </font><br>
