Description

V2 scripts are built on top of the ScriptProvider class that is practically the same for plugins. All of the classes available to Plugins are also available to V2 scripts. Please consult the Plugin Documentation for more information about the ScriptProvider and the new classes.

A provider object is created for you called "provider" and it can have methods overridden like the following: 

--[[Director
function provider:MethodName(Args)
	--method body
end;
EndDirector]]--
