Level Modification Scripting Command Suggestions
 

I am a LAT, but I am starting to get into scripting. Most of the scripts I am making right now modify levels using commands such as tiles[x,y]=array;. Here is a list of commands that I think should be added, which would give me way more freedom!

putobject objectname,x,y; this is already a command, but I think it needs to be modifyed to work online.

createlevel levelname,{array}; this command should be added, and it should create a new level(called levelname) using the array data given... Ex: createlevel levels/newlevel.nw,{0x54,0x55,0x56,0x57,0x58,0x59,0x64,0x 65,0x66,0x67,0x68,0x69,0xA6,0xA7,0xA8,0xA9... ... ...}; (didn't include whole array because it would take up too much space)

puttiles x,y,w,h,{tilearray}; does pretty much the same thing as tiles[x,y]=array; only you can change more than just 1 tile...

putnpc2 imgname,script,x,y,level; I dunno if putnpc2 is already used, so maybe putnpc3? But it should allow you to put NPCs in different levels...

settileproperties x,y,w,h,{properties array}; this would do the same thing as setshape2, only it would modify the tiles, so I could change the grass tiles to blocking or whatever, without chaning the tiles image...

savelevel levelname; Would upload the level to the harddisk, like, if I changed a level using tiles[x,y]=array;, I could send the new data to the hard disk so it would be a permanent change, and not just until the level is updated...

Use tiles alteration.


createlevel levelname,{array}; this command should be added, and it should create a new level(called levelname) using the array data given... Ex: createlevel levels/newlevel.nw,{0x54,0x55,0x56,0x57,0x58,0x59,0x64,0x 65,0x66,0x67,0x68,0x69,0xA6,0xA7,0xA8,0xA9... ... ...}; (didn't include whole array because it would take up too much space)


Copylevel already exists.


puttiles x,y,w,h,{tilearray}; does pretty much the same thing as tiles[x,y]=array; only you can change more than just 1 tile...


It's not that hard to do as is.

putnpc2 imgname,script,x,y,level; I dunno if putnpc2 is already used, so maybe putnpc3? But it should allow you to put NPCs in different levels...


Warpto and putnpc2.

settileproperties x,y,w,h,{properties array}; this would do the same thing as setshape2, only it would modify the tiles, so I could change the grass tiles to blocking or whatever, without chaning the tiles image...

Use NPCs and/or a custom movement system


savelevel levelname; Would upload the level to the harddisk, like, if I changed a level using tiles[x,y]=array;, I could send the new data to the hard disk so it would be a permanent change, and not just until the level is updated...

Security hazard.

Not if it is serverside, unless someone Hacks RC and does it, but who would do that when they have the FTP right infront of them?

createlevel could be cool, but I dunno if it could support something like that, 4096 size array =.. big o.o
