    <text>With #appendto, you can modify an existing object defintion script without changing the original file. For example, a scenario could change flints to cause bigger explosions, without having to duplicate the entire flint in the scenario.</text>

    <code>#appendto [id]</code>
    <text>A script can append itself to one or multiple existing scripts using the <code>#appendto</code> directive. Functions of the same name will overload functions in the target script. The original overloaded functions can still be called using <emlink href="script/fn/inherited.html">inherited</emlink>. #included scripts are not appended with #append, but #appended scripts are included by #include.</text>
    <code>#appendto *</code>
    <text>Appending to <code>*</code> will append this script to all definitions.</text>
    <text>A script can contain multiple #appendto directives. It is always compiled with the original script. This is of interest whenever local variables or functions from the appended script are used.</text>
