		+	This page is about legacy scripting. After Oolite 1.65 this is replaced by the much more flexible Java Scripts. Legacy scripting is still fully functional until Oolite 1.76, however it is advised to not use it for new work. This page is only available to make old scripts understandable and for some special situations (like conditions in shipData) we still need the legacy commands.

	Methods are the actions that are performed when conditions (defined in a script) are met, or when a particular set of actions (like ''[[Shipdata.plist#death_actions\|death_actions]]'' or ''[[Shipdata.plist#script_actions\|script_actions]]'') are called for, or when an AI calls for a script action to be performed.		Methods are the actions that are performed when conditions (defined in a script) are met, or when a particular set of actions (like ''[[Shipdata.plist#death_actions\|death_actions]]'' or ''[[Shipdata.plist#script_actions\|script_actions]]'') are called for, or when an AI calls for a script action to be performed.
