Bitflags are variables which use bits instead of numbers to determine conditions. The bit operators are [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%26 &] and [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%7C |]. For now, you should know that bitflag operators use the binary value of numbers to determine the result. So [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%26 13 & 3] will result in 1. ([http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%26 1101 & 0011 = 0001]) and [http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%7C 13 | 3 = 15] ([http://www.byond.com/members/?command=reference&path=operator%2F%7C 1101 | 0011 = 1111]) see [[#If|if]] for uses
