Es setinfo

From EventScripts Community Encyclopedia
--> Note: This command has been deprecated as of EventScripts v1.5. It is recommended that you use es_set instead which behaves the same way, with some added bonuses. The legacy es_setinfo command will continue to exist for backwards compatibility.


es_setinfo is the correct title for this article. The title you see above is incorrect due to technical limitations.
