Dynamic Action Names for Dragged Items	Definition	AFRLme

This script allows you to create dynamic action words to place before & after the item name. For example: "Give money to Barkeep" or "Combine glass with whiskey", etc...

Instructions

1. Add the main script to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.
2. Add/Remove language tables to/from the main script; as required.
3. Edit the string values inside of the iw table; as required. iw stands for initial word. It is the word that will be displayed before the currently held items name. The order of the strings inside of the table should reflect the integer value of the conjunction_class value. There should be a space after the word like so: "word ".

iw = {} -- initial word table
iw["English"] = {"Use ", "Give ", "Show ", "Combine "}
iw["French"] = {"Usage ", "Donner ", "Montrer ", "Combiner "}
iw["German"] = {"Benutzen ", "Geben ", "Zeigen ", "Kombinieren "}
iw["Spanish"] = {"Usar ", "Dar ", "Mostrar ", "Combinar "}

4. Edit the string values inside of the cj table. cj stands for conjunction word. It is the word that is displayed after the currently held items name. The order of the strings inside of the table should reflect the integer value of the conjunction_class value. There should be a space on both side of each word like so: " word ".

cj = {} -- conjunction word
cj["English"] = {" on ", " to ", " to ", " with "}
cj["French"] = {" en ", " à ", " à ", " avec "}
cj["German"] = {" auf ", " zu ", " zu ", " mit "}
cj["Spanish"] = {" en ", " a ", " a ", " con "}

5. Create a new value in the Visionaire Studio editor & call it: conjunction_class.
6. On mouse enter for each object/character/item, set conjunction_class value; as required.
