Loadscript works the same for CH, OBJ, and AREA objects.

A script file is loaded from the desginated folder and run as a prog.

Example:

<code lua>
ch1:loadscript("vodur", "testscript")
</code>

This will load the contents of 'testscript.lua' from the 'vodur' folder and run it as an mprog (assuming ch1 is a CH object).

This functionality is identical to loadprog. The reason to prefer loadscript would be the convenience of editing outside of olc, and a greater size limit. Prog scripts are limited to 10,000 characters whereas loadprog allows up to 100,000 characters to be loaded.

As with [[:lua:loadprogfunction|loadprog]], if loadscript is used to load some common code into the scripting environment, it is good practice to have a check to ensure the code is only loaded once.
