creature_text_options
The `creature_text_options` table
This table assigns a reusable option ruleset (defined in creature_text_option_sets) to a specific (CreatureID, GroupID) pair from creature_text. This enables data-driven control of cooldown, trigger chance, and player-only filtering for SendChat() calls without requiring per-script boilerplate.
When SendChat() is called for a creature text group, the engine automatically:
- Checks whether the group is on cooldown (if
Cooldown > 0). - Rolls against
TriggerChanceto decide whether the text fires. - Checks whether the target is a player (if
PlayerOnly = 1).
If any check fails, the text is silently skipped. If all checks pass, the text fires and the cooldown timer is started.
