Line 1: Line 1:
The following special functions are available to area writers.   
The following special functions are designed for quests and other special purposes, and would not ordinarily be included in areas.  Some of these special functions may be risky, should not not be used without consulting Tynian prior to use.  These functions are denoted in the table as 'restricted'.  Others can be used by god+ as necessary to support quests and role play. Use good judgement.
 
All use of special functions should be approved by the [[Area Coordinator]] prior to use.  If code modifications are necessary (e.g. a special function is not [[Generic Special Function|generic]]), the Area Coordinator will also discuss the use of the special function with a coder.
