-There are two classes of functions: user-defined and built-in.
+There are two classes of functions: script-defined and built-in.
 ====Built-in====
-Built-in functions are hardcoded into Oni, that is, they were written in C along with the rest of the engine rather than being written in BSL, so you cannot inspect their code. Built-in functions are available to be called from BSL at all times, and are listed [[BSL:Reference|here]]. Guidance on how to use them is found in the [[:Category:Scripting tasks|Scripting tasks]] category. You manually call from the developer console any built-in function.
+Built-in functions such as "ai2_allpassive" are hardcoded into Oni, that is, they were defined in C along with the rest of the engine code and then registered as accessible to BSL scripts, so you will not find their code in any game script -- only calls made to them.
