A list of commands, I want to see in Graal
 

Hey, I have thought about it and here are a few commands I would love to see programmed for use in graal.

1) A rotate image command. It should be able to rotate any image up to 360 degrees.
2) A better control of strings. Make it so you can use words in VARIABLES more easily.
3) A tilecheck command so you don't have to include a subroutine in your script to do it!
4) Better use of showimg. The index thing needs to be modified slightly. It needs to be more efficient.
5) A clientside level. So the level ONLY effects the user and what others do in the level at the same time is not visible.
6) A system to allow popup boxes to enter inmprtant things such as passwords. This will stop everyone knowing what you are typing.
7) Being able to send any string you want to a CGI or SQL server. (Keep this one secret if you make it)

There were lots more too but I have forgotten. I am sure it will come to me later and I will post it.

I doubt this would be a problem, If I can show 500 images on a Pentium 200 (Friends CPU) five times a second then this should'nt be a problem


Being able to just assign a string to a normal variable like almost every other modern language.
E.G. this.variable = 'Hello How Are You?';
instead of
setstring name, value;
Just a little thing to make life easier!


I suppose so =)


Well showimg has to use a massive amount of showimg indexes. There should some sort of grouping function like
addtoimg indexofshowimg, filename, x, y;
Then it would be much easier to show and hide sections of images instead of single images.


Yup =)


Yeah, sounds good. Just something to hide what you are saying.


It would allow some cool features, also if you could retrieve from a file on the web. Then THAT would be cool!. You could sign up for someting online and then gain access to a certain area on Graal!

Oh yeah I did'nt really think of DirectX I suppose you are right.


Hmm, yeah, I suppose I can put up with "setstring"


How so? Oh... but that way is fairly clumsy and you could lose track of ID's


Yeah, but it should be top secret. Like the command to do anything on a players account no matter what level they are in. (E.G. The police script warps people from any level into jail from one NPC) This is the command I would like to see the most!

Can't be done if you are making a Universal NPC which changes tge amount of showimages with a variable.


How would retreiving date from the web be of any threat anyway? Only trusted admins have access to NPC Servers.

Forget it. It will never happen anyway =/


Okay, scrap the sending bit! Recieveing is good though!

there is a thing called saveinfo wich does something with PHP (nust have NPCs server) I believe its saveinfo key,text;

I duno anything about PHP so im just stating what i know =\

Yeah, but it connects to the Graal database. I am talking about connecting to any database.

erm i beleive it was me who suggested the setrotateeffect and setimgrotate first.

... variables in php are just variables. the type of variable is determined by what you assign to it. or you can specify the type seperately.

$varakastringakaarrayakainterger = Hello

$varakastringakaarrayakainterger = 234.23141

$varakastringakaarrayakainterger = forgot how to assing arrays in php

$string
%long (owns integers cuz u dont crap out when you have too high of a number)
...
oh by the way.. in Graal you do have integers and strings.. and you have constants and variables..
constant would be when you specify your variable on top of the script...
integer is this. variables.. or any variable that is numerical only..
string is the string..
the neat thing is that in npc server npc's u can have almost any variable having text in it like you want

not really about the ram thing ...
its just like having strings but instead of having to set them u can use them in the npc ..
like I said the npc server already does that . u can have some variables being strings even if they are not set. .

???
 

what exactly does with do?

Its been sugersted MANY times befor. Dont claim ideas like your name will be plastered in the newfeatures.txt or something :rolleyes:

Damn you people type to much, I wont be reading all that in this decade

#1 i think is the best idea

Re: A list of commands, I want to see in Graal
 

I really really REALLY want to see number 5. Number 7 would be nice too, but keeping it secure would be the problem..
