VScript

VScript is a virtual machine for scriping that acts as an abstract binding layer between the Source engine and external scripts. According to the Alien Swarm SDK, following scripting languages are, or could be supported in near future:

• Gamemonkey
• Squirrel
• Lua

VScript is currently implemented in Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Alien Swarm. The latter two are supporting Squirrel only.

Script files are placed and executed in scripts/vscripts/ inside the game folder.
