Joining Classes

[jake13jake]

When you use the join() function to join a class, what is the precedence of event handlers? Can event handlers share the same events with the NPC?

ex.
let's say this is class "class":
function onCreated() {
setshape(1,32,32);
}

and call this an npc:
join("class");
function onCreated() {
setshape(1,64,64);
}

would the class event handler be called and then the npc event handler? Would they both have the capacity to be called? I'm just wondering because I just decided to propose an action handling structure for Classic, but it would probably encounter this a lot.

You can just test this yourself.

that doesn't mean there's more to it that I can't test for.

That made no sense whatsoever.

Not really, I just hate the lack of commands documentation.

Now that I agree with. However, you must keep in mind that GS2 is still under development and things are being changed around all the time, so it's kind of hard to make a documentation for it.

The onCreated() part is called for each joined class, if you pre-join a class (put the join outside of any function) or you join a class in an onCreated() function.
Other events only choose the first event handler they find. That makes it possible to overwrite the event handler of a class. If you overwrite the event handler and want still that the original event handler is executed, call classname::function yourself, like

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  join("myitems");
  // no need to call myitems::onCreated() here since it is executed anyway
}
function onPlayerEnters() {
  echo("player enters!");
  myitems::onPlayerEnters();
} 


We should may be add a wiki page for the Graal script classes.

Thank you Stefan <3!!!!!!!!
That's a lot more information than I thought was behind it.

Yes I have added a lot of text there, but someone needs to remind Loriel to change the licensing thing
