/*Quips v2.0.
0
By Superfluous J
Import it, it's all you need to do.
To add your own quips or remove quips in the file, search for "QUIPS START HERE"
in the script.
The script checks for a state, and then adds a quip to a list of potential quips
based on that state.
To add a quip for, say, starting out each time on Rocky Plateau, you could add:
?loc = Rocky & loc.time=1
a.Add("A witty saying\nwould be here\nif I had one.")
This would make the character sometimes say (But only in Rocky Plateau):
.────────────────.
│ A witty saying │
│ would be here │
│ if I had one. │
'───────────. .──'
\│

Set "demo=0" for normal timings. demo=1 makes the player a chatterbox so you can
see more
quips and get a feel for what might get said at various times.

var demo=1

Here are many variables to know what the state was in the previous tick, so you
can only trigger a
quip if, say, you lost 5 or more hit points. Or the enemy count went down (or up)
by 10 or more. See
the quips already present for ideas. These variables all start with "old_" and
are to remember what
game variables were on the previous tick. If you add your own variables here,
make sure you also
set it at the end of the main script where I set all the other "old_" variables.

First, determine if a long enough time has passed so we can say a quip.
This is a matter of taste. Either you want to be a chatterbox so you'd set it low,
or you want quips to be rare so you set it high.
The variable "quiptimer" here is the number of ticks between the last quip ending
and a new quip starting, and is determined by the function.
Any function can be used, but the default "500 + rng % 500" will force a 500 tick
wait, and allow a quip to be said after 0-500 more ticks.
If quiptimer is less than zero, reset it. If it's greater than 0 decrement it by 1.
If it's 0, we'll handle that below.
