*'''begin [[onTriggerEnter]] player''' - this begins an "[[onTriggerEnter]]" block. [[:Category:Blocktypes|Blocktypes]] give scripters a number of ways to capture game events. In this case, we're going to capture when the player steps into a trigger we'll be creating soon. The optional ''"player"'' parameter let's us specify that we only care when the player enters this trigger. | *'''begin [[onTriggerEnter]] player''' - this begins an "[[onTriggerEnter]]" block.

Here we're checking to see if the current stage of our Quest (VT74) is less than 10. We know that the first time the player enters this trigger, this statement ''"getStage VT74<10"'' will be true, because stage 10 hasn't been set. Once we set VT74's stage to 10 or higher, the statement ''"getStage VT74<10"'' will be false, meaning any script between this "if" and the next "endif" will be skipped over. | ||
*'''[[setStage]] VT74 10''' - This script command sets the stage of VT74 to 10. We know that this will give the player the quest objective we've already created, and means that any time the player hits this trigger in the future, the previous "if" statement will be false, preventing this line of script from running again. | *'''[[setStage]] VT74 10''' - This script command sets the stage of VT74 to 10.
