Myst scripts

This page contains, or will contain, a list of all known commands in Myst, as used in record types 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12. Specifics on the format itself can be found at Myst RLST resources. The way scripts are stored, they each contain a command number, a variable number, and any number of arguments. When a variable number is not given, a "0" is used. So when the key below says that the variable is "optional", that means that it has been found both with and without a variable being passed in. In some cases, the syntax of the arguments depends on whether a variable was passed in. In this case, the variable/arguments header is repeated for each form of the command.

Command 0

• Variable: Optional
• Arguments: None

Seems to toggle a variable between 0 and 1. For example, see the marker switches on MYST island.

Command 1

• Variable: Optional
• Arguments: u0

Could mean "set variable to u0". u0 takes on any number between 0 and 7 (maybe a bit field?)

• Variable: Yes
• Arguments: dest

This command goes to dest instead of the regular destination if var is a certain (unknown) value. (Only used for SELEN 1240 and CHANNEL 3359)

• Arguments: clrc_id

• clrc_id is always 800, 801, or 802. (Only 5 different cases). These are the "animated" cursors of dropping the white, red, and blue pages, respectively.

This command seems to change cursor to clrc_id if var is a certain (unknown) value.
