That is a good idea! Should it be a $ before all gadgets?
e.g.
Define Shot Cannonball
EndDefine

Shot $Cannonball

How should this be done? I have no idea, give an example!

Since we have a InfoString that could be in all gadgets, we should define

We should perhaps remake the Attributes.txt so we all know what should be
