'''Actions''' | '''Actions''' | ||
An '''action''' is when a [[Blockhead]] does something. | |||
==How To== | |||
Unless it's wearing a [[Tin Foil Hat|tin foil hat]], a Blockhead won't take any actions (other than standing or treading [[water]]) that have not been assigned to it by a player. Only the currently selected Blockhead can have new actions assigned to it. (In a [[Single Player|single player]] world with only one Blockhead, that Blockhead is always selected.) | |||
Some actions are affected by what item is currently selected in a Blockhead's inventory. | |||
When an action is aborted, any unconsumed [[items]] removed from the affected Blockhead's [[inventory]] are returned. | |||

:{{See also|Travel}} | :{{See also|Travel}} | ||
Travel is the process of moving a Blockhead to a new location. | |||
==The Task Queue== | |||
All Blockheads have a task queue. This is no more than the sequence of actions assigned to a Blockhead. | |||
A task queue operates on the principle of FIFO (First In, First Out). If an idle Blockhead is assigned an action, it will either begin that action immediately or after traveling to where that action was placed. If an action is assigned to a Blockhead that isn't idle, the action will be added to that Blockhead's task queue and will be started once the current action is completed. | |||
Tapping on a Blockhead's [[User Interface|character status icon]] will cause their [[User_Interface#Character_Status_Window|character status window]] to appear over them. If it have any actions assigned to it, a red button to "cancel all actions" is displayed. Tapping that button clears the Blockhead's task queue and aborts its current action. | |||
If a Blockhead attempts to perform an action for which it doesn't have the necessary items accessible in its inventory, that action will be aborted. | |||
== | ==TO ADD== | ||
Outlines indicate actions. Icons inside outlines indicate the tool or crafting. Outline colors indicate "appropriateness" of a tool for the action. | |||
Changes to a Blockhead's inventory may affect upcoming actions in its task queue. | |||
