GScript <-> GScript2

[Slash-P2P]

I admit I'll try to learn GS2 but I don't know exactly what could make GS2 so much greater than GS1. I've barely heard anything about GS2 or seen any code examples.

Have you ever programmed in such languages as C?

No. I've used a little bit of Visual Basic but thats it.

[falco10291029]

I know a little bit of basic, and i know the basic format of C, but that's it

Then I cannot blame you for being unable to see the possibilities. But do not assume that they don't exist.

I said I don't know what can make it so much better. I'm not doubting these ways exist.

Oh, I see what you're getting at now. That'll definitely become something of a problem.

Are you saying client-side won't support GS2?

From what I've seen you shouldn't have much trouble moving from GS1 to GS2.

v3.1 and upwards will support GS2, but not v2. I'm assuming Stefan will allow use of the earlier versions for a while after the new generation is released.

[Slash-P2P]

Does anyone have any real code examples or GS2?
All I've seen is something like:
player.chat="hello" or something

NPC Code:

---

function compileScript() {

  script = "";

  script.add("function onCreated() {");



  for (con: this.containers)

    addControlCreationScript(script.link(),con,0);



  script.add("}");

  script.savelines("weapon.txt",0);



  ScriptEditor.openScriptWindow(script);

}

---

Here an example of writing into a file (savelines), the new for-each operator, calling functions with parameters (addControlCreationScript), and calling public functions of other scripts/objects (ScriptEditor.openScriptWindow).
You can do similar things with addstring script,... instead of script.add, passing parameters by setting this. variables, and doing callnpc, but with the new script it's more simple (e.g. the functions of other objects can return values).

That's supposed to be simple?

I agree with slash wholeheartedly, that looks very advanced, or maybe you didn't explain it correctly, either way, it won't be easy to change over to Gscript2 :-/

That would be an example of are more complex operation.

It really wasn't that hard to follow anyway, granted you have some programming knowledge.

He created a weapon file, put "function OnCreated() {" in there, used that cool for-each thing to most likely put some code in there, then added a "}", then saved the file and called the script editor to open the window.
and I just made a crappy run-on sentence of me babbling
