   Scripting is one of the most important features of Vault-Tec Multiplayer Mod. It grants access to in-game [wiki="Object"]Objects[/wiki] and allows to manipulate them. With the help of scripts, it is possible to customize the game experience and even create whole new gamemodes. Scripts are executed server-side by the dedicated server of vaultmp. Users who code scripts are known as [i]scripters[/i]. They mainly use the [category=Scripting functions]scripting functions[/category] and [category=Scripting callbacks]scripting callbacks[/category] (see [category=VaultMP interface]VaultMP interface[/category]) provided by the mod to write a script. A script can be written in C / C++ or in the [url="https://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawn.htm"]PAWN[/url] language. See the section [wiki="Dedicated server setup#Installing a script"][i]Installing a script[/i][/wiki] in the dedicated server setup guide on how to load such a script.
