+The ActionQueue holds functions and actions.
-	mesecon.queue.funcs[name] = func
+Functions are added on load time with a specified name.
+Actions are preserved over server restarts.
+
+Each action consists of a position, the name of an added function to be called,
+the params that should be used in this function call (additionally to the pos),
+the time after which it should be executed, an optional overwritecheck and a
+priority.
+
+If time = 0, the action will be executed in the next globalstep, otherwise the
+earliest globalstep when it will be executed is the after next globalstep.
+
+It is guaranteed, that for two actions ac1, ac2 where ac1 ~= ac2,
+ac1.time == ac2.time, ac1.priority == ac2.priority and ac1 was added earlier
+than ac2, ac1 will be executed before ac2 (but in the same globalstep).
