Replacements

Replacement create replacement effects, as you'd expect. Their script follows the format introduced by AbilityFactory; simply begin a line with "R:", to indicate that it's for a replacement effect, followed by a collection of name-value pairs (name and value are separated by $) separated by pipes (|). All Replacement effects expect an "Event$" parameter, which declares what event should be replaced. Most replacement effects will also have a "ReplaceWith$" parameter which points to an SVar which contains what should replace the event. They may have a "Prevent$True" parameter, instead though, which means that nothing happens instead of the event.

Similarly to triggers, the replacing code can access special variables pertaining to the event it replaced (like triggered-variables). These are specific to each event, and is listed below. Most replacement effects will also have a "Description$" parameter which is simply the card text for the ability.
