Meaning#

namestring: X4 attribute schema type: base types, constraints and value alternatives.

An XSD type constrains XML, rather than declaring a Lua return or the payload type of event.param. A valid schema value does not prove a successful game effect.

Schema structure#

libraries/common.xsd

Property Value
Construction restriction
Base type xs:string
Constraint Value
pattern [^']*

restriction narrows a base type; union accepts one of its branches; list describes whitespace-separated items. Enumeration values in one restriction are alternatives. Pattern syntax is XML Schema regex, not Lua patterns or JavaScript RegExp. Constraints inherited from the base type still apply.

Example and result#

Use the attribute pages below for contextual examples. A generic executable example is not inferred from a type name alone.
