Key: Additions Deletions
Whenever you create or edit a behavior, there are three primary elements of the interface:
- Action Definition - The panel in the lower right-hand corner where you define the actions to be executed when your behavior runs. Actions can be dragged in for adding, and dragged out for removing.
- FilterTrigger Definition - The panel in the upper right-hand corner where you define the events that must occur in order for the actions to be executed.
- InputProperty and Logic Browser - The interface to all of the actions, operators, and objects that you have access to when defining your behavior. Every element in these tabs can be dragged into the action definition panel on the right.
Action Definition Panel
Dragging actions into this panel allows you to define the actions executed when the behavior runs.

Logic Browser Tab
Logic Browser Tab
The logic tab provides access to programming primitives. You can utilize conditional statements and looping constructs to customize your actions based on the state of the objects in your World.
Math Browser Tab The Math tab provides access to a variety of math operators that can be dragged into your action's input fields. For example,When you might use the "plus" operator in the second argument of the set action to,look "setat the plane's orientation to (plane's orientation + 180)."
