Proc
,→Origin Explanation
===Origin Explanation===
Old time RPG developer [http://www.raphkoster.com/ Raph Koster]'s explanation:[http://www.nerfbat.com/2006/04/15/what-is-a-proc/]
::Short for spec_proc (special procedure), which is a bit of code triggered to cover a special case that the default code doesn’t handle.
::“Proc” is almost entirely [[Everquest]] slang... Even in the muds, it wasn’t that widely used because only some codebases used the term. It took EQ publicizing the inherited term to make it common knowledge.
