ROVERSCRIPT REFERENCE
Roverscript is the scripting language built into 3DML. You can include scripts inside your 3DML file to make Rover learn new things - like how to make a block bounce or how to make the sky move from day to night. We suggest that you get familiar with the other aspects of 3DML before you dive into scripting since scripting techniques are a bit advanced. Xuriel has put together a reference guide to the commands available in Roverscript.
