Experiments and Oddities

These are not the core recipes. They are a small gallery of executable documentation: each module demonstrates several SSS primitives at once, stresses an interaction that a basic example does not, and states the catch before showing the YAML.

The shared rule is simple: SSS gets one shot when an object becomes active. Nothing here is a hidden polling loop or a substitute for an event-driven Lua script. Objects change when activation-time conditions match, and normal save-state semantics determine what remains changed, while once controls whether the rule may apply again.

Gallery

The House Moves When You're Not Looking — accumulated relative transforms on fresh activation batches.
Necromantic Compound Interest — generated-object feedback and a self-propagating undead population.
Low Health Makes Vvardenfell Worse — persistent world scarring controlled by player health at activation time.
Bad Weather Has Consequences — weather as a condition, never as a trigger.
The Door Knows What You're Wearing — equipment and faction ownership becoming an access system.
Caius Takes Weekends Off — the Tamrielic weekday as an activation-time world condition.
You Probably Want Lua — the deliberate warning label for over-composing declarative rules.

The corresponding YAML files are source fixtures under Examples/. Copy one into scripts/staticSwitcher/data/ only after reading its catch. Several examples use FlexTag conventions or deliberately dramatic effects.

The House Moves When You're Not Looking Use activation batches and small relative transforms to make dungeon clutter drift over time. Necromantic Compound Interest Use generated objects and once-per-object rules to create an undead feedback loop that can become unbounded. Low Health Makes Vvardenfell Worse Turn low player health into persistent, activation-time world scarring. Bad Weather Has Consequences Use ash storms as activation-time conditions for statues and shrines. The Door Knows What You're Wearing Combine equipment and faction ownership conditions into a declarative disguise system. Caius Takes Weekends Off Use the Tamrielic weekday and activation-time teleportation to give Caius a modest social life. You Probably Want Lua A deliberately pathological SSS module showing where declarative composition should stop.
