addEventListener

Then stop making a fuss about it.

If catchevent worked the way you and myself would like it to, I could make this:

PHP Code:

function addEventListener(obj,event,func) {
  obj.catchEvent(event,func);
} 


Yes, that could fit perfectly into your atan->arctan junk.

I'd like to keep general c-like based script standards in order to encourage more players to script.

GS2 is easy enough to learn. Personally, I see addEventListener as more confusing. Plus, it's not like people go around and say "HMM I COULD LEARN GS2 BUT IT DOESNT COMPLY WITH MY ECMA**** "

You say I do not understand consistency, when I am talking about standards. Standards are about keeping things consistent.

We have consistency. Consistency of GS2. There is no reason we need consistency for any other languages.

Actually, I will start a crusade to make GS2 compliant with my BASICStandards

This way, everyone coming from BASIC would be able to script GS2

I already did.

arctan is not the standard name for that function, try C, C#, Java, Actionscript etc. Judging by the fact that the following is perfectly legal GScript2, Stefan has already started to implement some Actionscript:

PHP Code:

function init(obj:Object, x:Number, y:Number) {
}

Is it really? Then why do I continue to see some god awful scripting from otherwise talented people? If it's so easy, why don't you contribute some scripts? I haven't seen anything in the Code Gallery from you since I got here.

Plus, as I have already said, I can add my own "addEventListener" if catchevent was fixed, it does not matter to me what the function is named as long as it works

Obviously not considering the legal bit of Actionscript / GS2 above.

BASIC has no standards, it was a Microsoft invention. ECMA is not a script on it's own. It's a set of standards, like ISO or RFC.

I was starting no crusade sir, I saw the inklings of GS2 becoming something greater than it already is and decided to try and help, and yet was bashed

It is silly to make another function just because you do not wish to adapt

And yes, I know atan is the standard, I also script Java and basic Actionscript.

I haven't been scripting much as final exams are approaching.

I apologize, sir.
