"""
Example script for testing. This adds a simple timer that
has your character make observations and noices at irregular
intervals.

To test, use
  @script me = examples.bodyfunctions.BodyFunctions

The script will only send messages to the object it
is stored on, so make sure to put it on yourself
or you won't see any messages!
