Joe the Builder

This is the script from the start-up kit. It's 2 interact scripts assigned to 1 Denizen named Steve. He will respond different to a right-click by a player depending on whether or not the player has the modifyworld.* permission.

The Race

Coach wants you to RUN, BOY! This script uses a TASK script and a Location trigger to make a timed race for the player. Good example of ZAP and RUNTASK/CANCELTASK command usage. Be sure and define a Location Bookmark called 'theTree' using the /denizen bookmark location command.
