Re: Brief explanations about some new features: (NEW SCRIPT ENGINE)
 

Mh, i really need to read the functions stuff more careful because variable passing is a bit unclear to me. Or i think XD does it work like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters){

a=10;

b=10;

c=7;

multiply_em(a,b,c);

}

function multiply_em(d,e,f){

g=d*e;

h=g*f;

message #v(h);

}

//very simple, lol.

---

i should get as outcome (10*10)*7 (=700), right...?

Also, can we do this:

Is there a way to use a "message" that uses a function? I mean like this (Javscript):

NPC Code:

---

alert("You have" + getcash(client.taxreturn,client.salary) "dollars!);

function getcash(x,y){

this.cash=x*y;

return this.cash;

}

*ahem ahem* *points at self* I made a new commands.rtf ... This sounds fun XD Sorry for double post B.T.W.
Also, tutorials and stuff:

There is more in the new scripting engine though:

1. Compatible to old scripts
2. Object-oriented with variant variables
3. Easier access to variables
4. Powerful GUI
5. Additional functions for catching and invoking events
6. Loading and saving files

And more...

Ok, thats' just mean. Telling us about all the things we cannot have. ;)

And clear your pm box already. hehe.

Holy ****! Object-Oriented? That's just awesome!

I haven't been using object-oriented things for a long time, but they were awesome... Erm, for you who don't know... How can I explain:

Object Oriented is something that you can somewhat have a whole new ****load of arrays in a variable, along with it's own function set and all!

As in PHP:

NPC Code:

---

class dog{

  var health;

  function bark(){

    setcharprop #c,Woof Woof!;

  }

  function whimper(){

    setcharprop #c,Err... Err...!;

  }

  function attack(otherdog){

    otherdog->hurt(5);

  }

  function hurt(damage){

    health = health - 5;

    if (health <= 0)

      setcharprop #c, Arg... I'm dead;

  }

}

if (playerenters){

  dog = new dog(10);

  healthydog = new dog(100);

  healthydog-> bark();

  dog-> whimper();

  healthydog-> attack(dog);

  dog-> attack(healthydog);

  healthydog-> attack(dog);

}

Erm... Yea, that seems right... :) It's having a whole basin of function into a variable... It's basically like classes, but much easier to control... Perhaps in a hat shop, you could have One NPC having control of all the hats there, instead of all the hats having itself as a class...

Say, could we do:

NPC Code:

---

  if (playerenters){

    npcs[index].OBJECT-> Function(data1,data2);

  }

---

?
It would be awesome if we could... Anyhow! When is the new engine planned to be released? You got me anxious (Well, more then I actually am).

Wow old gscript was so much easier. I think i'll just stick to the old gscript unless certain new features don't work the old way.

It isn't really anything like php's version of OOP

Function parameters -- can you pass by reference?

I dont see anything harder about the new engine. I just see many new features that will make it better than the old one.

The new engine isn't there to make it harder, dudes.

Look at the syntax for the for loops, it's more confusing.
(Sounds like Python: for i in range(1,5):)

You can call functions of other npcs if they are declared public (public function ...).
The class system is the same like the old Graal class system, except that you can join and leave at any time you want. You can do things like

myvar = "test";
myvar.join("dogs");
myvar.whimper();

which is then using the dogs class

That's pretty cool :eek: This could be an alternative for a lot of sets, triggeractions etc...h
