Commands that elude me

[ChibiChibiLuc]

Elude.. Hehe.. Funny word.
Anyway, I'm making a commands.rtf for the new engine.
I either don't know the usage of the following commands or I don't know what part of the syntax is. Can anyone give me a hand? I know some are probably irrelevant to a regular server.
I can't play around with GS2 at the moment. :(

synctimeofday(float, float) (Irrelevant?)

setcontentcontrol(obj) (No clue.)

emoticonchar (What does it return?)
requesttext(str, str) (I want to make sure I listed all the things it can request)
triggerserver(str, str, str) - I need the syntax. :/

A lot of them are for 3D servers, like cursoron() and off, also the matrix and vector functions.

[Velox Cruentus]

PHP Code:

 sortascending() 


Sorts list GUIs

PHP Code:

 getobjectat(float, float)
 getobjectatmouse() 


I guess getobjectat(x,y), returning the npc object as a variable.

PHP Code:

worldclockstopped
worldhour
worldminute
worldminutesofday
worldrealsecondsperday 


Time variables? Perhaps was for NewWorld or something?

PHP Code:

waterheight
getsurfacetype(float, float) 


Graal 3D

PHP Code:

gravity 


Gravity effects Shoot commands. Perhaps other use in Graal 3D as well.

PHP Code:

 getz(float, float) (No clue.) 


GMap

PHP Code:

 requestfilesmove(str, str) 


From... To.

PHP Code:

 timershow() 


Displays remaining timeout via chat.


I can't go through them all. They seem to be mostly for Graal 3D

editingmission - Probably a variable signifying a mission is being edited (Graal3D probably).
waterheight - Graal3D water probably.
getsurfacetype - Graal3D.
popdialog() - Popping a dialog from the stack. Think a layer of cards on which you remove/add cards. Now think of this as GUI windows instead.
pushdialog(obj) - Pushing a dialog onto the stack. See above note.
selectedsword - Graal3D probably.
commandtoserver(str) - Graal3D.
extractfilebase(str) - extractfilebase("directory/file.txt") will return "directory" (or "directory/" ?).
findfirstfile(str) - Iterating through lists of files, removed in v4 I believe.
findnextfile(str) - See above note.
getboxcenter(str) - Graal3D, I assume it returns a vector of the center of a 3D box.
getdatablocktypes() - Graal3D.
getobjectbyray(str, str) - Raycash check for objects. Graal3D.
lightscene() - Graal3D, tells the client to generate a lightmap for the current mission.
mapshapeanimation(str, str, str, float) - Graal3D.
triggerserver(str, str, str) - Just like triggeraction without coords and serverside parameter.

Stuff I can identify is above...

How can it have nanosecond precision when it's only counting in seconds.

Ah its a little bit confusing, most of those commands are from Graal2D and exist for a long time, also you should also list the object type if you list object functions.

emoticonchar - also #E i think, its the character you typed for emoticons (Ctrl+key), this has been added before keydown2 was available

obj.sortascending() / obj.sortdescending() is sorting an array by name

worldminute, syntimeofday etc. is the for Graal3D daynight effect

waterheight - defines the z of the water on terrain (e.g. on Kingdoms)

gravity - can be set on clientside and serverside and defines how much projectiles (shoot) are moved towards the ground, default value is 2 i think, on Zone it is only 0.2 so that projectiles don't fly in a curve

requestfilesmove is for the scripted RC i think, not sure

selectedsword - gives the index of the sword weapon (not sure if its available in normal Graal but it has been used some years ago)

I will add more descriptions to the scripting commands, when you do "Graal4.exe -listscriptfunctions" it is listing all available functions and most built-in variables, and it is also giving some short description for important functions, but I haven't got the time yet to document them all.

[ChibiChibiLuc]

Okay, thank you.

If only I had Graal4.

We have been thinking about doing some documentation on #gscript for GS2 with the scriptfunctions file. Is there any specific format it should be written in to make it easier for you to implement, or should the documentation just be written at the end of each line?

[Admins]

Yes just at the end of the line
