Gs1 to Gs2 Converter

[TalonShriner]

In the mean time, while this GS1-GS2 converter is being programed, how about someone fixes the commands document to GS2 commands instead of the obsolete GS1 commands? It would save everyone a lot of work in the future.

No. Translating GS1 to GS2 would be a pain. Also, the resulting GS2 would pretty damn ugly.


It'd be nice if all GS1 learning references were just obliterated off the planet so people learning how to script wouldn't constantly learn the wrong thing.

But i've made plenty of GS1 scripts before i even knew what GS2 was... i wouldn't really care about how ugly it was as long as it worked

With that attitude you won't ever become a good scripter.

Have you read:

http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Creation/Dev/GS1_To_GS2

There's also like four other tutorials on this page:

http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Creation/Dev/GScript

GS1 allows too many weird hacks that shouldn't be carried over to GS2. I.e:

PHP Code:

if (created || playerenters) {
  // script
} 


To be done properly in GS2 it would have to be re-written as:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  script();
}

function onPlayerEnters() {
  script();
}

function script() {
  // script
} 


Considering GS1 still works, a translator isn't going to fix the problems caused by scripts not working with an npc-server.

Which is probably because you don't have //#CLIENTSIDE at the top of your level script, so when it attempts to call functions (I.e: timereverywhere that don't exist on the server-side it displays errors.
