GScript for Dummies Guide to GS2 question.

I'm reading the guide on GS2 and near the end he or she mentions objects. This part has me lost. What exactly is happening here?

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.controlnpc = findnpc("Control-NPC");  //Creates an object references the Control-NPC

this.player_data = temp.controlnpc.player_data;  //Copies data from the Control-NPC to the current NPC.

temp.controlnpc.onCreated(); //Executes the onCreated function through the Control-NPC

I can only guess what Control-NPC is. I see it listed on the server I am practicing on, but I have very limited rights so I can't open it up. I assume there is code inside, but at this point I am only guessing what this script is referencing.

Okay after reading some of FP4's tutorial I am guessing temp.controlnpc = findnpc("Control-NPC") finds the object and this.player.data = temp.controlnpc.player_data pulls the value of player_data from the object? But what does temp.controlnpc.onCreated() do? Execute code listed in the onCreated() part of the Control-NPC? If so, how is this different than creating a class, using join, and calling a function that way?

BTW I learned a little from reading this.

FP4's tutorial is actually really helpful. I had no idea you could call functions from a variable. Also I now understand what the different variable prefixes do.

Yeah I realize that. I am just wondering what the difference of doing what was posted vs something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Part of Class NPC called ControlNPC

function onControl() {

   temp.control = player_data; // player_data defined earlier in the script

   return temp.control;

}

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

   join("ControlNPC");

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats() {

   temp.foobar = onControl();

   echo(temp.foobar);

}

But maybe I am not clear on the difference between an NPC and a Class. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

I am not by a computer so I don't know if this is 100% correct**

This is the best gs2 documentation I have found:

http://gswiki.wikidot.com/gs2-commands

This is the best for explaining how to script gs2:

http://gscript.graal.net/Index

But the best way to learn I have found that helped me the most was javascript lessons here:
