"""
Scripts are entities that perform some sort of action, either only
once or repeatedly. They can be directly linked to a particular
Evennia Object or be stand-alonw (in the latter case it is considered
a 'global' script). Scripts can indicate both actions related to the
game world as well as pure behind-the-scenes events and
effects. Everything that has a time component in the game (i.e. is not
hard-coded at startup or directly created/controlled by players) is
handled by Scripts.

Scripts have to check for themselves that they should be applied at a
particular moment of time; this is handled by the is_valid() hook.
Scripts can also implement at_start and at_end hooks for preparing and
cleaning whatever effect they have had on the game object. 

Common examples of uses of Scripts:
- load the default cmdset to the player object's cmdhandler
  when logging in.
- switch to a different state, such as entering a text editor,
  start combat or enter a dark room.
- Weather patterns in-game
- merge a new cmdset with the default one for changing which
  commands are available at a particular time 
- give the player/object a time-limited bonus/effect

    The Script database representation. 

    The TypedObject supplies the following (inherited) properties:
      key - main name
      name - alias for key
      typeclass_path - the path to the decorating typeclass
      typeclass - auto-linked typeclass

      permissions - perm strings 
      dbref - #id of object 
      db - persistent attribute storage
      ndb - non-persistent attribute storage 

    The ScriptDB adds the following properties:
      desc - optional description of script
      obj - the object the script is linked to, if any
      interval - how often script should run
      start_delay - if the script should start repeating right away
      repeats - how many times the script should repeat
      persistent - if script should survive a server reboot
      is_active - bool if script is currently running
