GoPatch.aslx

[KVonGit]

The online editor has functionality that is not included in the Quest 5.8 desktop release. ¹

With this library:

• If the game.pov object has a "notallowedtoexit" string attribute, that string will print when attempting to go anywhere, and the attempt to exit will fail.

    that string will print when attempting to go anywhere, and the attempt
    to exit will fail.
