Global Class?

[Inverness]

When I'm in the bathroom I think of random things and I came up with this. What if Graal could look for a class named 'global' when you make an object and automatically join that class to the object? I believe this could accurately simulate global functions? Unless there are any plans to add support for that the way Graal does it. Custom Object Types

Back when public functions were introduced I had assumed any public functions made in the Control-NPC would automatically be global x.x

The last time I asked Stefan for something like this, he said, "just uses classes " and that being able to edit parent objects or using defined custom data types would be no faster than using join()

make an NPC called "global" and put your functions in that.

Then you can call global.whatever(); from any script without joining.

With certain limitations on the clientside.

I already know this

Having to prefix things with Object.Function() doesn't look as cool as global functions.

Holy crap I just had an excellent idea, since it seems that we have function-objects now, maybe I can create global function object? :O!

Edit: Its not working ;-;

Its not about speed, its about the cool features like static variables having internal commands for reading and writing them (which I learned recently).
