The Scenario Modding and Creation guide mentions "game event flag" values, as both test condition (if_flag=) and action effect (flag=).
I gather that these can be used as "or" gates, where any of a number of event script fragments can evaluate to set a given flag.

Each flag gets a number.
- What is the valid range of numbers available in a script?
- Are any flags already in use (hard coded) in the engine?

0-31

None are used in game.

The flags are just true false and saved with the scenario.

OK, 32 bits. These are latch-once settings, with no way to clear/reset them (?)

So, it works like this:
Flag=13 (flag 13 is now true)
If_flag=13 (returns true now)

There is no possibility to flip flag 13 back to false.

Correct?

Correct use of flag.

No you can't reset it. Generally you shouldn't have to. SC has the same system of flag events. I will say I copied it from them.
