FOSE Scripts

Should we include FOSE scripts? --Illyism 14:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

So long as it's made clear that the script requires FOSE, I don't see any problem with using them here. Looking at the script below, I think that changing the GMSTs while in MenuMode 1057 could potentially cause problems. Specifically, if a scripted terminal is placed near enough to a regular terminal that its script will be running while the regular terminal is Activated, the GMSTs will still be changed.
Perhaps a triggerbox could be used instead, so that the GMSTs are changed to and from their default values in OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerLeave blocks.
Once FOSE makes string variables available, this script should be updated to store the original values and restore them, otherwise it will overwrite any other changes that have been made to the relevant GMSTs.

Example

Script requires FOSE.

To be placed on a terminal, it changes the usual "Robco" headers to your liking.
