Question on global scripts

4 years ago

So I read up on scripts and I have a question about global scripts.

When i go to ste scripts page in the editor I can see two script pages (is that a correct term?). One says global link the other says global page.

Now if I understand the difference between a link script and a page script correct it is like this.

A link script gets run when a link is clicked.

A page script gets run when the page it is connected to opens up.

Now what is the difference from a link script to a global link script? does the global link script run whenever i click a link or can I define which link has to be clicked? Same for global page script. Does it run whenever i open a page or does it run when i open certain pages?

Global means everywhere all the time.

It can be switched on or off if you enclose it in an IF statement that checks for a variable, but it will run that check constantly.

The usual example is something like a global script that checks for a player's hit points and punts them to a death page if they hit zero.

Oh well guess I should ask questions beforehand in the future would have saved me a hell ton of time with my riddle storygame.
