Here is what i am thinking. for those of us who dont know how to script and have hard time understanding what everything means. I think we need to make a dictionary of the scripting words. And add on as we go when we find out something new. Like maybe starting a new page in the tutorial section?
ex. (note: doesnt have to be in alphabetical order)
Word/Definition Level: your level Waittill: Wait for something to happen Prespawn: this starts anything before you spawn exec: Execute something (followed by what you need to be executed) global/: Wehre the file is located (folder name) ambient.scThe file name(in this case ambient. Which is a sound fle)
Well that would turn out to be an endless list with little useful information. Fortunately, all available script commands are documented. Just check the radiant/docs folder for script files.txt and g_allclasses.html.
And i mean not just stoping at telling the definition of the words but tell them also how they are able to use these words like so:
ex
HOW TO USE THE CODE
level waittill prespawn /////Waits till before you spawn//////
///////////////////////////
exec global/ambient.scr m5l1b //////executes ambient.scr file located in Global folder--Level music----///////
exec global/weather.scr ///////////executes. weather.scr located in Global floder--this is done for rain sound------///////////
/////////////////
/////////////////
level waittill spawn /////////Waits till you spawn.///////
thread puddle /////////this starts a puddle on your water. Wonr work without the code below////////////
/////////////////
////How the puddle works////////
puddle: ///////Executes the code below in compliance with the code above.///////
wait 120 //// wait 2 minutes before starting or waits 120 seconds (samething)///
$rainpuddle moveup 24 // elevate the script object 24 units
$rainpuddle time 600 // take 10 minutes to do it or takes 600 seconds (samthing)////
$rainpuddle waitmove //moves the rain puddle
end
