\![move]

Moves to the specified coordinates. ※Refer to the section below

• 
• 

Usage example

\![move,--X=80,--Y=-400,--time=2500,--base=screen,--base-offset=left.bottom,--move-offset=left.top]The main character will move 80 pixels to the right and 400 pixels upwards, counting from the bottom left of the screen (screen,left.bottom). The movement will use the top left pixel of the surface as a base point (left.top), and will occur over the course of 2.5 seconds.

\![moveasync]

Moves asynchronously to the specified coordinates. ※Refer to the section below

\![moveasync] can be stopped in the middle of movement with \![moveasync,cancel].

• 

Usage example

\1\![moveasync,--X=-175,--Y=200,--time=5000,--base=screen,--base-offset=right.top,--move-offset=right.bottom]The side character will move 175 pixels to the left and 400 pixels downwards, counting from the top right corner of the screen (screen,right.top). The movement will use the bottom right pixel of the surface as a base point (right.bottom), and will occur over the course of 5 seconds.

\1\![moveasync,--X=-175,--Y=200,--time=5000,--base=screen,--base-offset=right.top,--move-offset=right.bottom]The side character's movement has started.\![moveasync,cancel] The movement is stopped here. Movement can also be stopped in the case a separate event that includes a cancellation script occurs. This can be used to stop movement upon double clicking, for example.

\![set,position,(x),(y),(scope ID)]

Fixes the specified character to the entered x and y coordinates. (The character will no longer be movable by dragging.)

• 

\![reset,position]

Cancels the above command.

• 

\![set,zorder,(scope ID),(scope ID),...]

Layers the windows of the specified characters such that the leftmost character is on top.
Example: With \![set,zorder,1,0], \1's window will be displayed on top of \0's.

By running multiple tags each with different scope IDs, separate groups can be made.
Example: With \![set,zorder,1,0] \![set,zorder,3,2], \1's window will be displayed on top of \0's, and \p[3]'s window will be displayed on top of \p[2]'s.

There is no technical limit on the number of scope IDs that can be specified in the command, but large amounts may cause the ghost to slow down somewhat, so using two to three IDs is recommended.
Running the command again with a character that has already been paired with another will cause an error. When changing the pairing of the characters, \![reset] must be run first before ordering the windows again.

Effective until the ghost is closed.

• 2.3.77

Usage example

\![set,zorder,1,0]The side character will be displayed on top of the main character without fail.

\![reset,zorder]

Cancels the above command. Everything is reset, including the results of the command having been run multiple times, as well as anything specified beforehand in descript.

• 2.3.77

Usage example

\![reset,zorder]Cancels the window layering display. The surface that the user last interacted with will be displayed on top.

\![set,sticky-window,(scope ID),(scope ID),...]

The windows of the specified characters will be moved as a set when dragged or by using the move command.
For example, if 1,0 is specified, dragging a character with the mouse will move the windows of both \0 and \1 together as a set.

By running multiple tags each with different scope IDs, separate groups can be made.
Example: With \![set,sticky-window,1,0] \![set,sticky-window,3,2], \1 will be paired with \0, and \p[3] with \p[2].

There is no technical limit on the number of scope IDs that can be specified in the command, but large amounts will cause the ghost to become very slow, so using two to three IDs is recommended.
Running the command again with a character that has already been paired with another will cause an error. When changing the pairing of the characters, \![reset] must be run first before setting the pairs again.

When there is a restriction on the ghost's movement caused by commands such as \![set,alignmenttodesktop], the restriction will be prioritised, and the window will only follow along either x or y, depending on which it is free to move in.
Even if only one window in a group is moved with \![move], the others will also follow.
However, with --option=ignore-sticky-window in the move tag, the window can move alone.

Effective until the ghost is closed.

• 2.3.77

Usage example

\![set,sticky-window,1,0]The side character will move as a set with the main character.

\![set,sticky-window,0,1,2]The main character, side character, and third character will move as a set.

\1\![move,40,100,0,0,left.top,left.top]The side character's top left is matched to the main character's top left, and then it is moved 40 pixels to the right and 100 pixels downwards.\![set,sticky-window,1,0]\![set,sticky-window,1,0] While in that position, the side character and main character are set to move together.

\![reset,sticky-window]

Cancels the above command. Everything is reset, including the results of the command having been run multiple times, as well as anything specified beforehand in descript.

• 2.3.77

Usage example

\![reset,stic ky-window]The setting to move characters together is removed. After this point, dragging and other methods of moving them will result in separate movements.

Balloon and Text Commands

\b[(ID number)]

Changes the balloon of the character that currently has the focus to the balloon of the specified ID number.
Odd numbers are reserved for balloons that are displayed on the right side of the character, so the only usable IDs are 0 or even numbers.
\b[-1] hides the balloon.

Since SSP version 2.6.34, if written \b[ID1,--fallback=ID2,--fallback=ID3], ID2 will be used if ID1 does not exist, and ID3 will be used if neither ID1 nor ID2 exist.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\b[2]The main character's dialogue will be displayed on balloon number 2. Some balloons may be implemented differently, so there may also be cases where a balloon with the ID number 2 does not exist. In "SSP Default+", the balloon bundled with SSP, the main character's balloon number 2 is a bigger balloon that displays a large number of characters. However, since different balloons can vary in which ID is what size, it is necessary to specify a recommended balloon or bundle a dedicated balloon when using this command.

\_l[(x),(y)]

Moves the caret position on the side that is currently the focus to the XY coordinates. Regarding X and Y, the definition methods below can be used.

Value

The entered values are coordinates in pixels, using the upper left corner of the balloon's text area as the origin point.

(Omitted)

The caret will not be moved. If both X and Y are omitted, there will be no effect.

XXem

When "em" is appended, coordinates will be based on letter height. 1em is equivalent to the letter height at the time the tag is written. Decimals can also be specified.

XX%

When "%" is appended, coordinates will be based on letter height. 100% is equivalent to the letter height at the time the tag is written. Decimals can also be specified.

@XX

X and Y will become relative coordinates from the current caret position. A negative value will result in leftwards movement for X, and upwards movement for Y. Can be used alongside em and %.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\_l[30,5em] \_l[30,5em]Displayed at "X coordinate=30 pixels, Y coordinate=5 times the letter height".\_l[@-1650%,100]Displayed at "X coordinate=1650% of the letter height leftwards from the last letter, Y coordinate=100 pixels".\_l[,@-100]Displayed at "X coordinate=no change,Y coordinate=100 pixels above the last letter".

\C

When written at the start of a line, it will be added to the previously displayed text in the balloon. The last state of the character will also be reflected.

• 

Usage example

\![set,balloonoffset,(x),(y)]

Changes the balloon's offset value to XY coordinates. The coordinates set by the user dragging the balloon are added to this value to decide the final balloon display coordinates.
If the value is specified normally, descript.txt's default offset will be ignored, but if @ is added at the start, X and Y will become relative coordinates using the offset values in descript.txt and surfaces.txt as the origin.

• 

Usage example

\![set,balloonoffset,100,-50]Moves the base point of the balloon position to X:100,Y:-50.

\![set,balloonoffset,@100,@-50]Moves the base point of the balloon position to the specifications in descript.txt or surfaces.txt, plus X:100,Y:-50 (relative coordinates).

\![set,balloonalign,(ID)]

Switches the balloon to the display direction of one of the following IDs. The definition methods below can be used for the ID.
Using the positions below as the base, the values of balloon.offsetx and balloon.offsety in the shell's descript.txt and the values of balloon.offsetx and balloon.offsety in surfaces.txt are reflected. The initial value is none.

Effective until the ghost is closed.

left

The balloon's upper right coordinates meet the shell's upper left coordinates.

center

The balloon's lower middle coordinates meet the shell's upper middle coordinates.

top

Functions in the same way as center.

• 2.5.51

Wait Commands

\w(time)

Waits for the specified time multiplied by 50ms. 1-9 can be specified. \w10 will display the character "0" in the balloon after waiting for 50ms.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

Waits for 0.45 seconds.\w9\nAfter that, waits for 1 second.\w9\w9\w2 Waiting has finished.

\_w[(time)]

Allows for more exact control over wait time. [time]ms.

• 
• 

Usage example

Waits for 1.234 seconds.\_w[1234] Waiting has finished.

\__w[(time)]

Waits until the specified amount of milliseconds pass since either the last wait command or since \x.
\__w[clear] can be used to reset the time.

• 

Usage example

1\_w[1000]2\__w[2500]3. After first waiting for 1000ms, it will wait for a total of 2500ms (in this case, [2500-1000-the time it takes to display 2 letters], equalling roughly 1500ms). As the length of time it takes to display characters (adjustable with SSP user settings) is factored in, exact control over wait time since the script started is possible. The wait timer starts counting from 0 again when a clear or click-wait is run.\__w[clear]\__w[500] A 0.5 second wait is added here.

\x

Makes the balloon wait until clicked to close.
After being clicked, the character focus is reset to \0, and \f(text modification) SakuraScript effects are also cleared. SakuraScripts that end with \e remain uncleared.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\1Here, the side character will\f[bold,1] speak.\xAfter being clicked, the focus returns to the main character and the SakuraScript that made modifications to the font is cleared.

\x[noclear]

Pauses the balloon until clicked.
After being clicked, the balloon's contents and the side with the focus will be kept.
Unlike \x, \f(text modification) SakuraScript effects will remain.

• 

Usage example

\1Here, the side character will\f[bold,1] speak. \x[noclear]After being clicked, the SakuraScript for both the character with the focus and the text modification remains in effect.

\t

Starts a time critical section.
Until a script break (ex: clicking a choice, interruption by double-clicking a balloon) or \e, event notifications such as those for mouse-based events will not be fired.
It is important to note that the section cannot be ended by a second \t.
If the time critical section must be ended halfway through, it is possible to use \![raise,(event name)] to temporarily stop the script and call a different event.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

While this sentence is being displayed, mouse interactions are possible.\t From here, mouse interactions will be ignored until the script stops playing.

\_q

Starts a quick section.
Until the next \_q or \e, text will be displayed instantly.
However, general SakuraScripts with waits can be run, causing waits even during instant display.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\_qThis text will be displayed instantly. It is important to note that there are some situations, such as with Satori, when wait times will be inserted automatically.\_q

\![quicksection,true]

Starts a quick section. \![quicksection,1] can also be used.
It is almost interchangeable with \_q, the difference being that it can be specified as starting, as opposed to using a switching style.

• 

Usage example

\![quicksection,1]This text will be displayed instantly. Any wait tags will be run here as well.

\![quicksection,false]

Ends a quick section. \![quicksection,0] can also be used.
It is almost interchangeable with \_q, the difference being that it can be specified as ending, as opposed to using a switching style.

• 

Usage example

\![quicksection,1]This text will be displayed instantly. Any wait tags will be run here as well.\![quicksection,0] Furthermore, the SakuraScript tags for quick sections\![quicksection,1] are still valid when mixed.\_q

\_s

Starts a synchronize section.
Until the next \_s or \e, text will be displayed in both balloons.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\_sThe main character and side character will speak at the same time.\_s

\_s[(ID1),(ID2),(ID3),...]

Starts a synchronize section with the characters of the specified ID numbers.

• 

Usage example

\_s[0,2,3]The main character, a third character, and a fourth character will speak at the same time.\_s

\![wait,syncobject,(sync object name),(timeout time)]

Waits until the sync object with the specified name (Mutex, Semaphore, Event on Windows) is in the signal state.
Mutex is released after waiting, Semaphore is released once after waiting, and Event does not perform any particular operation after the signal is sent.
If the timeout time is omitted or specified as 0, it will wait indefinitely (until a script break), and if 1 or higher is specified it will wait using the specified number as milliseconds.

• 

Choice Commands

\q[(title),(ID)]

Show a menu choice.
After selecting, the SHIORI event OnChoiceSelect will be run. (In SSP only, OnChoiceSelectEx will run prior to OnChoiceSelect.)
The ID is stored in reference0.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

Do you like SakuraScript? \q[Yes,Like] \q[No,Hate]. 'Like' or 'Hate' is stored in reference0 depending on what you choose, then sent to the event OnChoiceSelect.

\q[(title),On(ID),(r0),(r1),...]

Show a menu choice.
If the ID starts with "On" as shown above, clicking it will start the SHIORI event On(ID) (with the name as written in the ID).
The arguments following the ID are stored in reference0, reference1, etc, in the order they are written.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

What is your favorite season? \q[Spring,OnLikeSeason,Rain,Budding trees] \q[Summer,OnLikeSeason,Heat,Lush green] \q[Autumn,OnLikeSeason,Breezy,Falling leaves] \q[Winter,OnLikeSeason,Cold,Snowing]. When a choice is selected, the OnLikeSeason event is triggered. reference0 and reference1 in OnLikeSeason will vary depending on which choice was selected. For example, if Spring is selected, reference0 would be 'Rain' and reference1 would be 'Budding trees'.

\q[(title),(ID1),(ID2),(ID3),...]

Show a menu choice.
After selecting, the SHIORI event OnChoiceSelect will be run.
ID* is stored in reference*.

• 

\q[(title),(ID),(r2),(r3),...]

Show a menu choice.
After selecting, the SHIORI event OnChoiceSelectEx will be run.
r* is stored in reference* and sent to OnChoiceSelectEx.
OnChoiceSelect also occurs after OnChoiceSelectEx, but references after reference1 are ignored, so it is pointless to write it this way.

• 

Usage example

What is your favorite season? \q[Spring,OnLikeSeason,Rain,Budding trees] \q[Summer,OnLikeSeason,Heat,Lush green] \q[Autumn,OnLikeSeason,Breezy,Falling leaves] \q[Winter,OnLikeSeason,Cold,Snowing]. When a choice is selected, the OnChoiceSelectEx event is triggered. The references in OnChoiceSelectEx will vary depending on which choice was selected. For example, if 'Autumn' was selected, reference0 would be 'Autumn', reference1 would be 'OnLikeSeason', reference2 would be 'Breezy', and reference3 would be 'Falling leaves'.

\q[(title),script:(script to execute)]

Show a menu choice.
After selecting, the contents after "script:" are executed as a SakuraScript.

• 

Usage example

\q[Close balloon,script:\e]\nNesting is also possible.\n\q[No. 1,"script:\q[No. 2,script:There is no 3.]"]

\q[(ID)][(title)] or \q*[(ID)][(title)]

[Old specification] Show a menu choice. * is a serial number.
After selection, the SHIORI event for the ID number will be started.
Unlike the above, the choices will be separated by a new line.

\z

[Old specification] Acts like \e, but in scripts that contain menu choices.

\__q[(ID),...]

All of the text will be used as a menu choice, up to the next \__q.
The ID specification is the same as \q, including the special treatment of IDs that start with "On" or "script:", as well as additional arguments.
The specification for which SHIORI event should be run after selection is also the same as \q.

• 

Usage example

\__q[OnTest,testreference]SakuraScript can be used in this menu choice. \nNewline, \_l[50,50]Cursor movement is also possible, and if you use an image tag, the image will be a clickable choice.\__q In this example, the ID starts with 'On', so the event 'OnTest' is triggered when the selection is made, and 'testreference' is stored in reference0.

\*

Causes menu choices to not timeout.
Valid only in the script it is written. Can be written before or after the menu choices.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\q[Choice that will not timeout,NoTimeOut]\*. When selected, the OnChoiceSelectEx event (or OnChoiceSelect if there is no response from OnChoiceSelectEx) will be run as normal.

\![set,choicetimeout,(Time)]

Specifies how long it will take for menu choices to timeout in the script. The unit is milliseconds.
The timeout countdown starts after the entire dialogue has been displayed.
Valid only in the script it is written. Can be written before or after the menu choices.
When a choice times out, the OnChoiceTimeout event is started.

If the time specification is omitted: Use the default value.
If the time is specified as 0 or -1: No timeout.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

\q[Quick press,FastPush]\![set,choicetimeout,500]

\_a[(ID)]

All of the text will be used as an anchor, up to the next \_a. This will not timeout like a menu choice, but will timeout like normal dialogue.
Clicking the anchor will start the SHIORI event OnAnchorSelect. (In SSP only, OnAnchorSelectEx will be started first.)
The ID is stored in reference0.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

Clicking on an \_a[Hint]anchor\_a will trigger the OnAnchorSelectEx event (Or the OnAnchorSelect if there is no response). reference0 will contain 'Hint'.

\_a[On(ID),(r0),(r1),...]

All of the text will be used as an anchor, up to the next \_a. This will not timeout like a menu choice, but will timeout like normal dialogue.
If the ID starts with "On" as shown above, clicking it will start the SHIORI event On(ID) (with the name as written in the ID).
The arguments following the ID are stored in reference0, reference1, etc, in the order they are written.

• 

Usage example

Click here if you want a \_a[OnHint,0]hint\_a. \_a[OnHint,1]Come on, come on, come on\_a. These two anchors will start the SHIORI event OnHint when clicked, but the value of reference0 will be either '0' or '1' depending on which one was clicked.

\_a[(ID),(r2),(r3),...]

All of the text will be used as an anchor, up to the next \_a. This will not timeout like a menu choice, but will timeout like normal dialogue.
Clicking on the anchor will start the event OnAnchorSelectEx.
The text that was used as the anchor will be stored as reference0, the ID will be stored in reference1, and subsequent arguments will be stored in reference2, reference3, etc, in the order they are written.
OnAnchorSelect also occurs after OnAnchorSelectEx, but nothing is entered after reference1, so it's pointless to write it this way.

• 

Usage example

\_a[CharacterName,Target Teddy,Age Unknown]Teddy\_a was such a good guy. But, he ate \_a[CharacterName,Target Emily,0x10 years old]Emily's\_a special treat that she'd been saving, so... When an anchor is clicked, OnAnchorSelectEx is run. If 'Teddy' is clicked, 'Teddy' is stored in reference0, 'CharacterName' in reference1, 'Target Teddy' in reference2, and 'Age Unknown' in reference3.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

After this script is played, the ghost will close.\-

\a

[Old specification] Runs a line of dialogue from randomtalk.
This command is a remnant from the time when all scripts were handled by the baseware, and currently only calls the OnAITalk event.

• 

\![updatebymyself,(option),(option),...]

Starts the network update check event.
Network updates may also be started by the user from the right click menu or the ghost explorer.
Specifying options is exclusive to SSP. Refer to the update option specifications section.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

A network update will be started.\![updatebymyself]

\![update,platform]

\![set,otherghosttalk,(true|false|before|after)]

Sets whether OnOtherGhostTalk will be notified or not. The default value is false.
When set to a value other than false, OnOtherGhostTalk will be notified when other ghosts that are open at the same time talk.
Notifications happen before the other ghost talks when set to "before" and after talking when set to "after". Specifying true is the same as specifying after.

Effective until the ghost is closed.

• 

Usage example

\![set,otherghosttalk,true]After this, OnOtherGhostTalk will be notified every time other currently open ghosts finish talking.

\![set,othersurfacechange,(true|false)]

Sets whether OnOtherSurfaceChange will be notified or not. The default value is false.
When set to true, OnOtherSurfaceChange will be notified when other ghosts that are open at the same time change surfaces.

Usage example

\![set,othersurfacechange,true]After this, OnOtherSurfaceChange will be notified every time other currently open ghosts change surfaces.

\![raise,(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]

Raises an event.
Values from the third argument onwards are stored in order starting from Reference0.

• 
• 
• 

Usage example

When the raise command at the end of this dialog is run, the SHIORI event OnRaiseTest will be notified by SSP. "test" will be stored in Reference0.\![raise,OnRaiseTest,test]

\![embed,(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]

A special tag that "embeds" the results of an event into the script currently being run in real-time.
The option arguments use the same method as \![raise], and values from the third argument onwards are stored in order starting from Reference0.

When a script finds an \![embed] tag while running, the specified event is called, and in the case that a result is returned, the entire \![embed] tag is replaced with the resulting string, with the script continuing to run from the first letter of the string that replaced the tag.
(※Made to offer wider and more general functioning than the Satori in-script SAORI calling mechanism "sync.")

At first, this tag was implemented as a function to run entirely within a single execution of a script, by usage alongside the property system, with the property system call itself returning no results, and then dynamically changing the process depending on the result from an \![embed] tag placed directly afterwards. However, there are no such restrictions, and it is possible to synchronize with the script execution and process multiple things simultaneously.

• 

Usage example

At the end of this dialog, the results of the execution of the SHIORI event OnEmbedTest will be displayed. Contrary to raise, the results are contained within the same script, so SakuraScript effects that would become ineffective with the end of a script (such as font changes) will continue to be effective.\![embed,OnEmbedTest]

When this script is run on a Satori template, a line of randomtalk will be appended to this dialog.\![embed,OnTalk]

\![timerraise,(time),(repetition),(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]

Raises an event with a wait time specified.
If repetition is specified as 0, the event will be run every time the specified amount of time passes, and if any values that are 1 or higher are specified, the event will only be run once.
Values from the fifth argument onwards are references.
Multiple events with different names can be specified separately, but if an event of the same name is raised more than once, the first setting will be overwritten.
Can be canceled by running SakuraScript specifying the same event with a wait time of 0.
The timer is kept after network updates.

Effective until the specified event runs when repetition is specified as 0. Effective until the ghost is closed when repetition is specified as 1 or higher.

• 

Usage example

\![timerraise,5000,1,OnTimerraiseTest,test]In 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds), OnTimerraiseTest will be run. The time is counted starting from the moment the SakuraScript is run.\![timerraise,0,1,OnTimerraiseTest] The timer that was set earlier has been canceled.

\![raiseother,(ghost name),(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]

Sends an event notification to another currently running ghost.
Values from the fourth argument onwards are references.
If the ghost name is specified as __SYSTEM_ALL_GHOST__, a notification will be sent to all other running ghosts.
The ghost name can only be specified directly. Multiple can be specified by separating them using the byte value 1.

• 

Usage example

\![raiseother,Emily/Phase4.5,OnRoastedPotato,sweet potato]If currently open, Emily/Phase4.5 will receive OnRoastedPotato as a notification. Reference0 stores the value sweet potato.

\![timerraiseother,(time),(repetition),(ghost name),(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]

Sends an event notification to another currently running ghost with a wait time specified (milliseconds).
If repetition is specified as 0, the event will be run every time the specified amount of time passes, and if any values that are 1 or higher are specified, the event will only be run once.
Values from the sixth argument onwards are references.
Multiple events with different names can be specified separately, but if an event of the same name is raised more than once, the first setting will be overwritten.
Can be canceled by running SakuraScript specifying the same event with a wait time of 0.
If the ghost name is specified as __SYSTEM_ALL_GHOST__, a notification will be sent to all other running ghosts.
Multiple ghost names can be specified by separating them using the byte value 1.

• 

Usage example

\![timerraiseother,30000,0,Emily/Phase4.5,OnRoastedPotato,sweet potato]If currently open, Emily/Phase4.5 will receive OnRoastedPotato as a notification every 30 seconds (30000 milliseconds). Reference0 stores the value sweet potato.\![timerraiseother,0,1,Emily/Phase4.5,OnRoastedPotato] The repeat notification has been canceled.

\![raiseplugin,(plugin ID or plugin name),(event name),(r0),(r1),(r2),...]
