{{RETURNTO Mechanics}}

The underlying game data often involves 'flags' which indicate how a particular object should interact with general game systems. They are not currently fully spaded. The following are known.

==Flag Types==
*Inclusive - an object with this flag is included in the group of objects considered by a game mechanic.
*Exclusive - an object with this flag is excluded from the group of objects considered by a game mechanic.
*Boolean - Can be true or false, object is considered to have the flag when value is true.
*Enumeration - Has a defined list of acceptable values.
*Special/Property - entered in a text field as an item in a comma separated list. Often function calls.

* Which flag affects [[miniature crystal ball]] eligibility?
* Why does [[The Inner Wolf Gym]] only block [[Batter Up!]] and not other banishes? Does it block batter up? Seems to block wanderers and any non-native NC including cleaver.
* What flags is [[Secret Tropical Island Volcano Lair]] it blocks banish and sniff.
* Is there a nosniff flag?
* It seems likely there are two flags for blocking non-native NC, one that doesnt block cleaver and one that does.
* What about [[Easter Island]]? and other crimbo zones. Hallowiener is accessible but banish and sniff can't be used, sometimes Crimbo items for queue manip are available.

==Notes==
* Mafia uses a psuedo-flag <code>[https://github.com/kolmafia/kolmafia/commit/dc43c86d26f5e8ff0c24fa6130d8ece8504cac59 nowander]</code> for monsters that do not increment the wanderer timer (proto-pack ghosts). This is a badly named proxy for a property of encounter ordering. Needs spading to see if the changes to proto-ghost encounter ordering have removed this behaviour.
