Not enough tips n tricks, and you keep bumping it anyway.

I still think someone needs to compile all the documentation on the forums and populate the Wiki(s) with it.

First step: Compile list of helpful posts. (Any reply in the NPC-Scripting forum with [PHP] or [HTML] tags by someone who knows what they're doing usually)

Here's an incomplete list of helpful posts, in no particular order:

• Parsing serveroptions lists (cbk1994)
• Arrays guide (fowlplay4)
• Explanation of clientside/serverside; triggering serverside (cbk1994)
• Triggering serverside and clientside (cbk1994)
• Timeouts in player classes (cbk1994)
• Reusable player functions in player classes (fowlplay4)
• Using Flash in Graal (born2kill)
• Opening PM windows (cbk1994)
• How to use for and foreach loops (cbk1994)
• Multi-touch demo for iOS (fowlplay4)
• Getting the exact level name of a player instead of the GMAP name (cbk1994)
• Getting a list of GScript client commands (Stefan)
• Creating resizable GUIs; creating custom object types (cbk1994)
• Comparing arrays; using dynamic variable names; passing parameters to GANIs (DustyPorViva)
• Key code constants (Stefan)
• Using multiple SQLite databases (Stefan)
• Checking for objects in arrays (fowlplay4)
• Triggering weapons from level NPCs (cbk1994)
• Manipulating offline players (fowlplay4)
• Triggering serverside from a level NPC (cbk1994)
• Finding a player's latency/ping (fowlplay4)
• Preventing GUI controls from stealing focus (Stefan)
• Periodically sending data to a web server with authentication (cbk1994)
• Sorting an array (WhiteDragon)

Again, this is an incomplete list. The only reason there are so many of mine is because I tend to bookmark posts I make that I think I might need again.

This should be reposted and stickied with the addition of a few of Dusty and WhiteDragons post.
