New page

Each combatant is given a special ability named "Competing" at the start of a combat event. Then all special ability scripts named '''OnStartCombat''' are run for each combatant. So, if you want to accomplish something for a character at the start of combat, you should define a Special Ability (using the Special Abilities Editor) named '''Competing''' with a script named '''OnStartCombat'''.
