Rule Six
Beware deprecated commands. These are old parts of the scripting engine that are no longer supported because they have been replaced. Although they may still work, it is very bad form to use them. Examples:
playersays()
showimg @@@ (using showimg to draw text)
setlevel
|
I agree that things such as playersays() and setlevel, etc. need NOT be used, but I think showimg is still valid. To me, I find it easier to use than showtext purely because I've used showimg@@@ for so long. Sometimes when debugging, I'll start with it displaying like text rather than the image, and then change the string to the actual image and it's much easier to edit.
Anyways, I just think that showimg@@@ is the exception there and that it's still fine to use.

Clearly, this position is deprecated and the GST suggests that you do not use showimg @@@ or anything else that has been superceded by more useful devices. This includes old gscript. --- #gscript
