Enhanced system and method for dynamically connecting virtual space entities

A method for connecting entities present in an instance of a virtual space, the method being implemented in a computer system comprising one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

• registering information regarding individual virtual space entities present in the instance of the virtual space, the virtual space comprising a simulated space having a topography, the topography describing a surface that runs through at least a substantial portion of the virtual space, the topography including surface features of the surface, the virtual space including virtual space entities positioned within the topography that are capable of locomotion within the topography, the virtual space expressing ongoing real-time interaction by users of the virtual space, the registered information indicating actions and/or effects for the individual entities, the registered information including:
• information indicating a first action associated with a first virtual space entity, the first action being an action performed on the first virtual space entity by a second virtual space entity, the second virtual space entity being associated with a user of the virtual space;
• and
• information indicating a first effect associated with a third virtual space entity;
• and
• wherein the first virtual space entity and third virtual space entity are not associated with the user;
• obtaining user specified action connections between virtual space entities and to registering the user specified action connections, the obtained action connections specifying causal relationships between actions and effects, wherein the obtained action connections include a first action connection between the first action and the first effect;
• and,
• receiving information indicating one or more actions that have occurred in the virtual space;
• detecting occurrences of actions specified in action connections in the virtual space by comparing the actions indicated by the received information with the actions specified in the user specified action connections;
• and
• generating commands for effects to be executed in the virtual space, such that responsive to a detection that the first action has been performed on the first virtual space entity by the second virtual space entity within the virtual space, generating a command for the first effect by the third virtual space entity to be executed in the virtual space.
