<h1>Engine Scripts</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> This page is here as a reference documentation available online covering the main script functions within HPL3. The Basic Code section contains scripts that are available by default and found within the <b>hps_api.hps</b> file located in the SOMA game directory. Under "Helper Files" you will find the functions referenced in the specific helper files which require a script import from the script folder. </p> <p> <b>Note: This is a work-in-progress page. In time, it will contain much more, including all built-in functions, helper files and possibly more.</b> </p> </div> <h2>Basic Code</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> The code referenced here is included by default in the game, and can be accessed without the use of a #include statement, contrary to the helper scripts.
