Sheep's little Guide on using GS2 in non-standard ways
 
well atleast i have never seen anynone using it like this

adding functions to a TStaticVar without using a class

so that was the basis of all the other stuff ;D
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  this.test = new TStaticVar();
  this.test.bah = function()
    {
    player.chat = "foobar";
    };
  this.test.bah();
  } 

projectigi 12-23-2007 12:06 PM
adding a function to another NPC:
(note, -HolyAddHere is an existing weapon that i have got on my char)

PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-HolyAddHere").onTestingTrigger = function()
    {
    player.chat = "b";
    };
  ("-HolyAddHere").trigger( "TestingTrigger", "" );
  } 
another test:

<some npcs script>
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-HolyAddHere").BTestingTrigger = function()
    {
    player.chat = "b";
    };
  ("-HolyAddHere").callFunction( "BTestingTrigger" );
  } 
<script of -HolyAddHere>
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
public function callFunction( funcN )
  {
  (@ funcN)();
  } 
should work serverside and with TServerNPCs etc too :p

replacing functions
(now we replace a already existing function)

a) replacing an npcs functions

(note that -HolyAddHere is an existant weapon that i have got on my char )

<script of any npc>
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-HolyAddHere").cTest = function()
    {
    player.chat = "a";
    };
  ("-HolyAddHere").callFunction( "cTest" );
  } 
<script of -HolyAddHere>
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
public function callFunction( funcN )
  {
  (@ funcN)();
  }
  
function cTest()
  {
  player.chat = "b";
  } 
works with servside npcs too :p

b) replacing a standard graal function

k, lets say if you do setani( "meh", "" ); the player will say "meh"... impossible? nooo

<script of some npc>
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  this.setani = function( ani, aniparams )
    {
    player.chat = ani;
    };
  setani( "meh", "" );
  } 
or from servside:
<script of some npcs>
PHP Code:
function onCreated()
  {
  this.sendtorc = function( msg )
    {
    echo( "NPC-Serv wants to say:" @ msg );
    };
  sendtorc( "meh" );
  }

2 separated timeouts(note that -System/Attack1 is a non-existant(it isnt a weapon, npc or anything else in rc/serv))

running both timeouts:
( in this case player saying "running timeout1" + sitting all the time )

PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-System/Attack1") = new TStaticVar();
  ("-System/Attack1").onTimeout = function()
    {
    player.chat = "running timeout1";

    setTimer( 0.05 );
    };
  ("-System/Attack1").trigger( "Timeout", "" );
  onTimeout();
  }
  
function onTimeout()
  {
    setani( "sit", "" );
    setTimer( 0.05 );
  } 
running only the main(in the npc itself)
( in this case player sitting all the time without saying "running timeout1" )

PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-System/Attack1") = new TStaticVar();
  ("-System/Attack1").onTimeout = function()
    {
    player.chat = "running timeout1";
  
    //setTimer( 0.05 );
    };
  //("-System/Attack1").trigger( "Timeout", "" );
  onTimeout();
  }
  
function onTimeout()
  {
    setani( "sit", "" );
    setTimer( 0.05 );
  } 
running only the "sub" timeout:
(in this case player saying "running timeout1" without sitting all the time)

PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  {
  ("-System/Attack1") = new TStaticVar();
  ("-System/Attack1").onTimeout = function()
    {
    player.chat = "running timeout1";
  
    setTimer( 0.05 );
    };
  ("-System/Attack1").trigger( "Timeout", "" );
  //onTimeout();
  }
  
function onTimeout()
  {
    setani( "sit", "" );
    setTimer( 0.05 );
  }

There could be practical uses for this, but I think for making them say "running timeout1" and sitting, you would be better off with something else :)

i'm kinda lazy and didnt wanna think of useful examples heh

MysticalDragonP2P 12-23-2007 05:13 PM
Well nether less its nice, and well put.Simple enough for anyone to figure it out.
Yay Sheepy <3

Inverness 12-23-2007 09:16 PM
I really wish people wouldn't use object names that require quotes to be able to process :(

EX:
("-System/Attack1").attr
vs.
SystemAttack1.attr

If you're not using standard Graal Q menu then the minus signs and slashes are unnecessary for weapons.

Why do people use +Something in mudlibs a lot of the time?

Alot of the time? It's basicly used by a few or some people to organize :) Or what Napo said in the post below this post.

As Inverness said, things like slashes, plus and minus shouldn't be in the wnpc name or in any other object names. ^_^

Probably just to complicate things. It's unnecessary.

Angel_Light 12-24-2007 03:21 AM
I do it for organization, I start all my system scripts with -, all mud with +, I use !, $ and * on few weps too.

That's just poor organizations.

- is used in the Classic System weapons for weapons you don't want to shop up in the players inventory.

And, read Inverness post, tells you why you shouldn't use those :)

Because Graal Kingdoms uses + for weapon scripts for the mud.

Thats silly. I keep my weapons nicely named on Val Dev, here is the array of weapons added on login:
PHP Code:
  // Names of weapons to add to player on login.
  // Automatic: ObjectTypes, System, -ScriptedRC
  this.addweapons = {
    // Systems
    "SysChat",
    "SysNick",
    "SysTileDefs",
    "SysTime",
    "SysMsg",
    "SysOutfit",
    "SysVision",
    "SysBoard",
    // Mud
    "MudControl",
    "MudWeapons",
    // GUIs
    "GuiCharacterSelect",
    "GuiProfiles",
    "GuiInfoDialog",
    "GuiInventory",
    "GuiHud",
    "GuiNpcDialog",
    "GuiChatHistory",
    "GuiInputDialog",
    "GuiBook",
    "GuiBoard",
    "GuiPlaylist",
    "GuiLevelDesc",
    // Other
    "DialogControl",
    "Console",
  };

Organization is all point of view, same with styling and etc. This is a good example, I'll respect your guy's point of views and all, but I find it easier with my symbols. =P

Do remember: scripts are compiled into bytecode and as such, I'm sure they do not give a **** however you name them. To care about such little stupid things....

A good point.

Of course the scripts don't care. If you'd read the thread instead of jumping in you'd notice the subject is about personal preference. Not about how Graal cares about the names since it doesn't at all.

Maybe you don't mind your scripts looking bad but if I were to choose from:
"SysMsg".addmsg();
or
SysMsg.addmsg();
I would choose the second option considering it looks better, its the more proper way, and its not highlighted in neon pink. The second option is only possible in the case that your weapon/object name doesn't have funky symbols in it.

If you want to name your objects with funky symbols, fine, it will just make your script look a bit worse when its really unnecessary. If you take advantage of public functions that is.

Do you think about people other than yourself when you do that?

Not really, since I know no one will use my scripts anyways. =P

Twinny 12-25-2007 12:20 AM
I saw the thread as showing the lesser known ways of using gscript which was quite good. After that, I saw you *****ing about 'personal preferences'.

Inverness is the reincarnation of Gambet :whatever:

I was just saying why its a good idea to not use funky characters in weapon names, so you can avoid script that looks like the ones in the initial post. Contribute or go away please, thanks. And stop *****ing about our discussion.

And is intelligent.

And doesn't have as big an ego. (Although he does have one)
