Hooks are a way to add additional behaviour to the scripts. They are basically custom scripts that are called upon specific events. For example one could define a hook which is called on player connects and then send a message in the in-game chat to greet the new player.

All hooks have to executable files in ''SDTD_BASE/<name of hook>/<any name>.sh''.

If you think a hook for another event could be interesting please [/newticket create a ticket] or [[Author|contact me]].

Currently the following hooks are defined:
