Object List
 

Since GS2 is primarily object based I think it would be useful to have a list of all objects that exist on the server, something like the DBNPC list, where you could find out their attributes, location, flags, etc. or Edit them if possible.

findNPCs(x, y, w, h)

He's looking for something added to the RC I think.

Exactly
Obviously an addition to RC, not a function, Rick.

What's wrong with level dump for reading the attrs?

Scripted RCs are a blessing. Use what Rick said, and add it yourself?

Then would you like to point out where I can find a description of requesttext() and sendtext() and all parameters used with it.
Level dump is too specific, and it doesn't show static objects (TStaticVar) either. I want a complete object lists, weapons and static objects included, I do not know how to display that with requesttext() especially since there is no document on it obviously.

get the level list using requesttext(), iterate through it and warp a DB NPC to the level, and iterate through the NPCs, and there you go, you have an object list.

(Please note, I did not say this method is practical or even efficient)

Oh, in that case add "rw npcs/*.txt" to your level rights.

That wouldn't give you the attributes of them at the time of execution, though.

It also wouldn't show any objects made with TStaticVar
You don't seem to understand what i'm asking -.-
I want a list of ALL objects on the server: npcs, weapons, players, everything. Where you can view attributes of any of them. And what they're connected to.

Hmm, I think I would like it better if GS2 and Graal were more java based, Classes and Objects that is. I've been learning some Java and I find it interesting.

Also would like some kind of display for the global strings, ones without a leader.

Be more specific.

I have to agree with Invern on this.

Agree with what? There is no debate going on.

It seems like what you want is comparible to 'datablocks' on Graal3D servers?

With the complexity of newer servers appearing on Graal you need a better system to manage them.
Why do you need a debate to agree with someone?
Could you describe the 'datablocks' on Graal3D?

How exactly would you "manage" them?

All objects except for TStaticVars are within levels, findNPCs should work fine.

Well, Invern has a good point and idea. It should be added to GS2 ASAP!

Added to GS2? He was saying it should be added to the RC.

Would findNPCs work get all objects from every level at the same time?

Since GS2 is more object based the NPCServer should be too, stuff should be recognized as Objects or Classes before their type. A Weapon should be a type of Object where its interactions are defined in the script. Maybe when a weapon is created it makes the weapon Object from a Class, like in Java? I would like to be able to define how 'Weapons' work on the server, so if I want to change the system I can. I certainly don't want to have to put a negative before the weapon name just to make it hidden, i'd rather that be read in a flag inside the script.

This is all just some speculation or something but I still think there should be a list of server objects with their ID, Name, and Type (DBNPC, Weapon, etc.). I want to know where everything is, and be able to find any info in them without downloading everything to my comp.

btw, I don't think I would want a scripted RC, hardcoded works faster usually.
