* Create '''new''' a plot resource (because [[Bug:_Duplicating_a_plot_duplicates_the_uneditable_GUID|duplicating a plot duplicates the uneditable GUID]])
** Set the plot type to one with a "Codex - " prefix
** Add a single Main Flag: remember the number (usually 0 as it is the only flag)
* Create a placeable and place it in an area
* Open the [[Placeable#Variables|placeable's variables]]
* Set PLC_CODEX_PLOT to the name of the plot resource
* Set PLC_CODEX_FLAG to the number of the plot flag

When the Player examines the placeable it triggers EVENT_TYPE_USE event

The default behaviour (routed through the [[placeable_core script]]) is perfectly adequate.

When the Player clicks on the placeable the following script runs:

<dascript>
void Placeable_ShowCodexEntry(object oPlc)
{
string sCodexPlot = GetLocalString(oPlc, PLC_CODEX_PLOT);
int nCodexFlag = GetLocalInt(oPlc, PLC_CODEX_FLAG);

if (sCodexPlot != "" && nCodexFlag >= 0)
{
string sSummary = GetPlotSummary(sCodexPlot, nCodexFlag);

// :

if (!WR_GetPlotFlag(sCodexPlot, nCodexFlag))
{
WR_SetPlotFlag(sCodexPlot, nCodexFlag, TRUE, TRUE);
RewardXPParty(XP_CODEX, XP_TYPE_CODEX, OBJECT_INVALID, GetHero());
}
UI_DisplayCodexMessage(oPlc, sSummary);
SetObjectInteractive(oPlc, FALSE);
}
}
</dascript>
