Here's a super simple script that raises your attack by one after every monster you kill.

Label Loop
  Wait for event Monster stabbed
  Set var "_ATK" + 1
  Go to Loop

Put it into a character and place him in the room. It works fine.

Now make that a global script by putting it as the default script of a character and adding the Imperative Make Global Script as the first line. The script now no longer works, specifically the wait for event monster stabbed will not trigger when it is in a global script.

Using version 1.2.3.116

Thanks for the thorough report and repro steps. I figured this out. The root cause is that global scripts weren't checking for cue events that can occur later in the turn like standard in-room NPCs/scripts do.

Same thing can happen on room entrance, it appears.

Fixed in rev 124.

I can confirm that Wait for Event Monster engaged, Wait for Event Monster Stabbed, Wait for Event Briar Grew and Wait for Event mud baby formed all triggered after a fight from a global script in 1.2.3.133

I'm not 100% sure what other commands would activate after a fight, and admittedly didn't test all of the above in the older version, but it all seems to be fine to me.
