Introduction
What is a weenie?
- Every interactable item and or object in game is a weenie. NPCs, Swords, Portals, Scrolls, Doors, etc.
What are weenie properties?
- Weenie properties are the keys, values, and emote actions found in each weenie. These properties set everything from the damage value of a sword to how much XP an NPC awards you for completing a quest.
- Some weenie properties are read by the AC client and provide updates on creature health, stat panels, and more. Other properties are server side, and can dictate things like whether a creature will attack you, or how an npc interacts.
