New Scripting Engine Suggestions

GoZelda · #1 10-05-2003, 11:09 PM

Well, i got this idea mainly from JavaScript. In Javascript, you can edit objects on a website, with comments like:

NPC Code:



document.write.Hi i know Javascript

form.name.write.Me too!

Wouldn't it be very useful if this was possible with GScript too?

NPC Code:



//Statue

name=Statue

function switch(){

setgani statue_switch;

}

This is a statue that will switch when a lever is pulled

NPC Code:



//Lever

if (playertouchsme){

level.npc.Statue.switch();

}

So you have to "declare" a NPC first (else it can't be accesed from outside). So you can also destroy a NPC from outside(level.npc.--name--.destroy

and a lot of other functions. Also, maybe tiles could be accesable, and links.

My list of accesable objects:

level.npc
level.tile
level.link
player.head
player.body
playery.chat
player.colors
player.sword
player.shield
player.attributes
server.players
server.npcs.type
server.tiles.type

I would not suggest until the language is released.

Cause it might already exist in it.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe a few things are either pretty much exactly like that or very very similar with the new engine.

That will be possible in the new script engine, just wait
