Action System
From The Official Visionaire Studio: Adventure Game Engine Wiki
The action system is what we use to create the various actions & events that will be performed during the game on characters, self, scene objects, & items. The available action parts may vary depending on where the action is created; scene, scene object, character, item, interface, interface button, game etc.
Action Types
Here is a list of available action types, a description & where they can be found.
Additional Info
The Called by other action action is a special case as it is not directly tied to any object, scene, character, or interface etc, as it can be called anywhere, at any time via the call/quit action action part.
