jQuery-like chained standard framework?

[Robin]

Hey peeps;

I was thinking today that something like this may be fun. A little mix of jQuery and GS2.

The idea is to have a standard framework that would make GS2 more accessible to the newer scripters around here, and at the same time, introduce a level of standards to the way things are done with GScript.

Class: gquery

PHP Code:

// gQuery
// By Robin
// June 2009

function onCreated() {
  this._player = NULL;
}

public function g(pl) {
  this.find(pl);
  return this;
}

public function find(pl) {
  temp.plr = findplayerbycommunityname(pl);
  if (plr == NULL)
    for (temp.i = 0; i < allplayerscount; i++)
      if (allplayers[i].nick == pl && allplayers[i].level.length() > 0)
        plr = allplayers[i];
        
  if (plr == NULL)
    this.log("Player" SPC pl SPC "not found");
  else
    this._player = plr;
  
  return this;
}

public function nick(str) {
  if (this._player != NULL)
    this._player.nick = str;
  else
    this.log("Please select player");
  
  return this;
}

public function warp(dlvl,dx,dy) {
  if (this._player != NULL)
    this._player.setlevel2(dlvl,dx,dy);
  else
    this.log("Please select player");
  
  return this;
}

function log(msg) {
  echo("gQuery: " + msg);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function g(pl) {
  this._player = pl;
  return this;
}

function warp(lvl, dx, dy) {
  triggerserver("gui", "-gQuery", "warp", this._player, lvl, {dx, dy});
  return this;
}

function nick(str) {
  triggerserver("gui", "-gQuery", "nick", this._player, str);
  return this;
} 


Weapon: -gQuery

PHP Code:

// gQuery
// By Robin
// June 2009

function onCreated() {
  join("gquery");
}

function onActionServerside() {
  switch (params[0]) {
    case "warp":
      g(params[1])
       .warp(params[2], params[3][0], params[3][1]);
    break;
    case "nick":
      g(params[1])
       .nick(params[2]);
    break;
  }  
} 


Here's a real world example:

PHP Code:

  // Sends a user to jail
  function onCreated() {
    join("gquery");
    g("Paradoxical")
     .warp("jail.nw", 30, 30)
     .nick("jailed");
  } 


It would even work clientside

PHP Code:

  //#CLIENTSIDE
  // Sends a user to jail
  function onCreated() {
    join("gquery");
    g("Paradoxical")
     .warp("jail.nw", 30, 30)
     .nick("jailed");
  } 


No script changes and it works both ways!

Really what I need is constructive comments and future improvements, ideas and bug reports. I think this could be good for the newer scripters to get a grips with working with a programming language and help with the great transition from clientside to serverside.

So, thoughts, comments, flames, bring it on!
