-# An item that streamlines exiting scenes
+# An ESCExit is a minimal feature node that provides an exit to a room.
+#
+# For exits that don't require scripts, the ``ESCExit`` node is provided. 
+# The only things you will need to configure on the node are the 
+# "target_scene" to change to, and optionally, a "switch 
+# sound" (the sound to play when changing rooms).
+#
+# If you want to attach the exit to a script to perform additional actions -
+# a cutscene for example - use an ``ESCItem`` with "Is Exit" selected instead.
+#
+# The game character will automatically walk to an ``ESCLocation`` created as a
+# child of an ``ESCExit`` node.

+# When interacting with an ``ESCItem``, the game character will automatically

+# By selecting the "Is Exit" checkbox when you create an ``ESCItem``

+# Any commands you place in the ``:exit_scene`` event will be run when the player
