Oldbie's Newb Scripting

At first I thought it would be impossible for me to upgrade to GS2. Here's what scripting looked like to me before, and it's still the easiest way for me to comprehend at the moment.

Quote:

if (playerenters){
shootball;
}

But now that everything is scripted in GS2, the script would look something more along the lines of.....

Quote:

function onPlayerEnters(){
shootball();
}

I guess it's not really TOO different or impossible for me to upgrade. It's just odd. But with the help of the Graal wiki, it's going to be a lot easier. However I still haven't figured out how to do a script so that if the player chats, and the chat equals certain words, it will perform a command.... I tried function onPlayerChats("and what they would chat in here") but that didn't work. o_o

I'd have to say basically, I just know how to call events... I don't know how to edit events, like with a created&&timeout, or playerchats&&wordsare.... or playerhit&&hp=2.....

I talked to Hell Raven, he basically taught me how to call basic events and told me about the wiki. :cool:

HTML Code:

function onPlayerChats()

  {

  if (player.chat == "heyllo") //if (strequals(#c, heyllo))

    this.chat = "Heyllo";  //message hi;

  else if (player.chat.starts("hi")) //if (startswith(hi, #c))

    this.chat = "Oh heyllo there!";   

  }

Some tiny things, hehe

And those 'if' deals from gs1 will work in GS2?

Will work, yes. Depricated? Yes. Stay away from them.

How are "if's" deprecated?

I think they were referring towards the \\if\\ created/playerenters/timeout.

Correct. Sorry for not making that clear.

In the playerchats script that guy posted, it had those 'if' sections. I was just wondering if that was the right way to do it in GS2, because I thought if was from gs1. o.o

I know how to do THOSE, I was asking about how to do it in GScript2.. you know, the scripting system for Graal now. :x Surely it's not the same thing. o_O

Essentially everything on skyld.vip.graal.net is written as the new engine, so what you see on that page works in the new engine.

My question is before in GS1 you could do...
if (created||playerenters) ...

How would you do that in GS2, if possible, or would you have to do different checks?

Different checks but you can do:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {
onPlayerEnters();
}

function onPlayerEnters() {
//do whatever
}
