:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: commands.rtf
 

'in' has been around a while:

NPC Code:

---

NPC Code:


if (created) {

  this.check={3,4,5,6,7,8};

  timeout=1;

}

if (timeout) {

  for (i=0;i<10;i++) {

    if (playerx in |this.check[i]|) {

      message In Area;

    } else {

      message Out of Area;

    }

  }

  timeout=1;

}

---

i'm just guessing, but that may work ...

Re: commands.rtf
 

i'm still updating

Don't forget the condition thing, I don't know weather to call it an operator, or a condition, but this for setting vars:

NPC Code:

---

this.var = (condition ? ifitstrue : ifitsfalse);

---

Oh yeah, and its not new, its quite old...
You just haven't ever seen it before...

some things you can use in for

1. testing for an element in an array
example:

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  this.array={1,2,3,4,5};

  this.rnd=int(random(0,10));

  if (this.rnd in this array) message yes!;

}

---

2. checking if a value is between 2 other values
example:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  if (playerx in |0,10| && playery in |32,64|) message Yes!;

}

---

3. or just testing if a var is exact one of the given values

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  timereverywhere;

  timeout=.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  for (i=0;i<4;i++) {

    if (keydown(i) && i in {0,2}) message Pressed up or down;

  }

  timeout=.05;

}

---

so here you can test if the player pressed up (0) or down (2) with just one argument...

there are also other possibilities to use in

I have entertained the thought of writing a new NPC Scripting.doc for a while, think its a good idea?

Planning a complete documentation of Graal and
the scripting engine, any help is welcome,
like examples for the different scripting functions

well i kno html and some php and stuff like that i may be able to help

Yes, but JMan, who doesnt know html?

Well I will definatly start working on such a project, I hope that the new engine doesn't change too durastically, than my work would be sad. I would like to do the expand and collapse thing, but would you use spans? Because I know how to do it with java, but I doubt that little window on the side has a java engine it in...

Yeah, sorry...

Woul dbe a good idea with the HTML, but i mananged to incorporate collapsable things into word the one, god knows how i did it so i am looking into that again :D

probably spans, like with the old 404 error page with internet explorer.

could be but then again you wouldn't have to add the JAVA system to graal at all, just use an external JS file and the commands.rtf file together to get the effect

You could use dynamic html. Ill make the command.rtf into a menu since I'm banned from graal 2001 and got nothing better to do.

Ummmmm... Actually DHTML is Spans, there is no javaSCRIPT involved with the IE4 thing, oh, yeah and Java 1.2 is ownage.

well
 

If it is made to be expandable ect, There should be a little option button (like the smily topic icons), that lets you choose which version of commands rtf you want to use, because other than not being updated as frequently as graal comes out, I'm content with it.

Re: well
 

That is a good idea, could be built into the other configuration options that grall posseses

As for the collapsable menu, i know how to do it with the current version of graal now but i cant make one.

If someone makes one i am 100% sure i can sort the rest out

An example:
 

I think it should look like this:

www.lagoonia.150m.com/commands.html

If you made that about the size of the current commands.rtf (the frames and font), stacked like that, I think it would be a great new format. I also think this thread should be moved to future improvements, lol.

oh crud
 

sorry about the add banners, try
http://lagoonia.port5.com/commands.html

it should look a lot better without adds and popups. Sorry about that.

Re: oh crud
 

nice idea but rather lame if you dont mind me saying so.

Stefan:

I can help with the commands.rtf, including serverside stuff which I can fiddle with on Providence when it is back up. Forum PM me or email [email protected] if you want my assistance.

yes, stefan is going to forum pm j00 without j00 forum pming him...fat chance...just work on it...

you never know! the vertical alignment of the sun and radial distance from the moon when coupled with the polarity of the being reversed just MAY cause stefan in a weird and freaky chance actually PM him!!!1

isn't it amazing with polarity can do :D

Awright, awright, I'll just work on it and send it to him when i am done...

I thought that was a good scientific explanation
