<unset> Tag

The <unset> tag is used to remove a previously set player state flag. This tag specifically unsets a temporary or permanent flag only for the current player, and does not affect any global game state.

---

📌 Syntax

<unset flag_name>

• flag_name: The name of the flag to unset. This corresponds to a previous <set> or <tempset> tag that had set "gamestate_flag_name".

The tag must not include the gamestate_ prefix — it is added automatically.

---

✅ Example

<unset moon_rune>

This will delete the gamestate_moon_rune flag from the player’s personal state record, if it exists.

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• This only affects player-specific state, not global flags.
• It does not unset anything created using <setglobal>.
• The unset operation is irreversible in the current session — if the player re-enters the location, the flag will remain unset unless it is set again.
• It matches any key that starts with the provided flag string (LIKE 'gamestate_moon_rune%'), allowing multiple versions or variants to be removed at once.

---

🧠 Use Case

Ideal for:

• Reversible puzzles where player actions can be undone.
• Situations where timed or conditional effects wear off or are dismissed.
