New script features
 

What are the new script features of v5?

I would like to know this myself. I must say I have always been rather irritated with Graal for the lack of documentation for the scripting engine, there are so many functions listed on the Wiki that only tell you what type of variable you need to input and not actually anything important like what that variable is for or what exactly the whole function does.

Well i have the commands.rft for gs2 would that help you at all? I am pretty sure you have it but i am just putting it out there

I would also like to know how to set the server time on the start bar. I'm guessing that this would be a new script feature, as the login server has been able to set the server time on the start bar for some time now, but now that the start bar appears on all servers, it would beneficial to allow servers to set the time that shows on the start bar...right now it shows blank on anything other than the login server.

We're waiting, I don't want the new scripting features to be a huge guessing game.

This I want to know asap! :)

I will post the list of new features on the wiki tomorrow

Dont forgett to link us when you're done! :D

I'm still wanting to define read/write functions for variables, hopefully such a thing wouldn't be laggy.

I'm not sure if that toolbar will be accessible as an object to us. Would be great if it was though :D

Serverlist_TaskBar.hide();
Serverlist_TaskButton_Toggle.hide();

Is that all there is? :(

No...
Messing with it can get kinda weird, I recommend simply doing Serverlist_TaskButton_Toggle.performClick(); on login if you wish to hide the TaskBar automatically. For some reason it doesn't appear to actually 'toggle' if you call the function again X_X

Yay i can edit the button text :D. Hell, i just removed the 'Start' button :p. Now when I change server, it still is deleted :D

I didn't think these objects would be available to edit but I think they will soon be read-only anyways.

I want some way to trigger an event on all objects existing on the clientside or serverside =( Without having to manually add non-weapon objects by script, like I'm currently doing.

Edit: Please Stefan, hire/assign someone to do all the script documentation =( Its killing me.

We could poke Skyld with a pointy stick until he does :D

Do
("-Serverlist").showTaskBar();
or
("-Serverlist").hideTaskBar();

Modifying the trial bar is not allowed though, if a server is doing that then it will be shutdown.

Make it read-only with no access to functions on trials? :D

Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.

The heck?

Thats about how much sense you made.

I meant make the taskbar object unaccessible if the player is a trial

The clock is ticking ;)

Stefan meant the bar on top that tells the player they are a trial and they are limited.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

Just don't have any scripts that do anything with it and you'll be fine :)

I guess this also applies to resizing the graalcontrol for trials (if it's even possible).

It's possible, that's why I need the serverlister back up so I can change that on Thamhic and not get in trouble. ._.

:: is up for the job ::

I think he meant hosted/classic servers because I don't think trials can log onto UC servers.

I guess...lol

You can already view the new clientside functions. You just have to run graal with -listscriptfunctions and voila it creates you a textfile scriptfunctions_client.txt.

yes, but you cant see any actual explanation of what they do or how to use them and importantly, what each parameter for each function is.

We should have to try to guess what a function does based on its name and whether certain parameter are a number or string -.-

A lot of the time you can use /scripthelp in RC to get information on script commands and objects.

New scripting features supposed to be on Wiki today, where is it?
