 ===== Event Scripting Overview =====
+Events are triggered on your world server when various things happen - for instance, a 'UseItem' event is triggered when a player uses an item - and you add script for each event - for instance, adding a particle effect and changing a score whenever a particular item is used. You control events on your world server by script through the file ''Data/Script/ServerScript.mit''.
