Witcher Script

Expansion required

This article is too short to provide more than rudimentary information about the subject. You can help Witcher Wiki by expanding it.

Witcher Script (.ws) is the primary scripting language for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. A very large chunk of the game's logic is written in Witcher Script, which is compiled on game startup. Mods can override scripts and thus can drastically change game behavior. Witcher Script is a proprietary language, though it shares many features with other programming languages (such as classes, functions, c-style control flow, inheritance, etc.).

Editors

Both Notepad++ and Script Studio are great editors for Witcher Script.
