Forexample:

NPC Code:

---

abs(float)

arctan(float) - arcus tangens

char(ascii) - gets the character for an ascii code (char(65) returns 'A')

cos(angle) - cosinus of a radiant angle

exp(float)

float(string) - for explicitely converting a string 

  to number (normally done automatically though

  when accessing a string with numeric operators)

format(format,parameters,...) - formats a "%s %d" string, 

  inserts the parameters, and returns a string

getangle(delta x,delta y)

getdir(delta x,delta y) - returns 0 for up, 1 for left, 

  2 for down, 3 for right

int(a) - gets the integer part of a floating point number

log(base,a)

max(a,b)

min(a,b)

printf(format,parameters,...) - same as 

  echo(format(format,parameters,...))

random(rangestart,rangeend)

sin(angle) - sinus of a radiant angle

sleep(time) - suspends the current script for some time

vecx(direction 0..3)

vecy(direction 0..3)

waitfor(objectname,event[,timeout]) - suspends the current script

---

all that yea sure it tells me what it is but how do i apply that to make it work in a script. Some things in there i understand like the obvious ones. The only other language i know is Visual Basics so im not use to programming an object oriented langauge.

Like what am i going to use arctan(float) for? stuff like that is confussing to people.

You shouldn't really be focusing on trying to memorize or even understand all the functions of GS2.

It's not all about memorizing everything.
