• ID add_condition NAME DURATION to apply a condition to a given agent with an optional duration, conditions with durations will be automatically removed from agents when the duration reaches 0 and an alert will flash.
• ID remove_condition NAME to remove a condition from a given agent.
• set_order LIST_OF_IDS the list of ids will interpert space separated IDs as having their own turn, while comma separated IDs will have a shared turn. Unspecified IDs will be placed last.
• exit ends current session
• exit or end_session ends current session

The scenarios are stored as JSON files for ease of editability and loading. If needed, a variety of JSON editors online exist that will check syntax. To build a scenario from other scenario files, list them in the files field, giving their address relative to the file it's being loaded from. For example:

data/
    main_scenario.json
    sub_scenario.json

to load sub_scenario.json from main_scenario.json you would have the field "files":["./sub_scenario.json"] in main_scenario.json
