scripts
<!DOCTYPE markdown>
Tables: ***_scripts
This table format is used for 3 different tables to control possible scripts activated by different actions:
spell_scripts: Holds scripts that can be activated by spells with effect SPELL_EFFECT_SCRIPT_EFFECT (77) or SPELL_EFFECT_DUMMY(3).
event_scripts: Holds scripts activated whenever an event is activated, be it by an object or as the spell effect SPELL_EFFECT_SEND_EVENT (61).
waypoint_scripts: Holds scripts used in the waypoint_data table. See also Waypoints-Information for general information about waypoints.
NOTE: An entry in this table may have more than one row as a script may do more than just one action. Also each action the script may make can have a separate delay attached to it. In that case, the core will activate the appropriate action after the correct delay.

**Description of the fields**
id
For spell_scripts, it is the spell ID. See Spell.dbc
For event_scripts, it is the event ID. There doesn't exist currently a full list of events. In any case, the event IDs are taken directly from gameobject WDB data or spell effect data. If both a gameobject and a spell activate the same event, the IDs will match.
For waypoint_scripts, it is the action ID.
effIndex
The effect index of the spell that this script is to be applied to.
delay
Delay in seconds before this current step of the script activates. 0 = instant.
