For both Behavior Operations and Tribe Scripting some of the fields are parsed for keywords and values replaced before use.
NPC Variables allow for scripting where keywords are replaced in strings.
This allows for generic scripting like:
<talk text="My name is $name" /> <wait duration="$NBUFFER[Wait_Duration]" anim="stand" />
First buffers will be replaced than keywords will be replaced.
Bufferes that wil be replaced
Bufferes will be replaced first. This allows keywords in the buffers.
| Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
| $NBUFFER[x] | Replace with the value from the NPC buffers that is set by the Tribe Scripting SetBuffer algorithm or the Set Buffer Operation. |
| $TBUFFER[x] | Replace with the value from the Tribe buffers that is set by the Tribe Scripting SetBuffer algorithm or the Set Buffer Operation. |

The following keywords are replaced in strings used in the NPC Client Scripting.
| Keyword | Description |

| $race | Replaced with the race of the NPC. |
| $race_size | Replaced with the size of the NPC. |
