I'd say split them if it's easier for you. The size doesn't seem to be an issue yet. Again, thanks for this indispensable reference and all your labor.

@Ched80: Congratulations for a job well done

I have a question:
The command "particledecal = Decalname", can make a trail of smoke projectile?

Thank you,Tax

@Captain Coder: yep, I've been updating the Syntax List in parallel with all the updates posted on the google code site. Scene Commander has asked if I could release a draft version to help users and I'm planning to do that this week.

I've also had to split the gunspec and flakspec parts out into a separate document as the thing was so big it was causing word to crash.

@maho: Are these definitions script or gunspec related?

Either way, expect an updated draft versions of the script, gunspec & flakspec lists soon.

Just a short bump to point people in the direction of the latest draft of the syntax list (hit the download button below) as I did post one in the v119 beta thread, but it's likely to get lost there.

Enjoy and all comments are welcome!

Second bump to add the gun and flak spec list (see the download). I have made a separate doc for these as the original doc was getting way too big and made working on it really slow.

I'm also planning on a segment and entity list, but that's probably not going to be ready until the summer now.

Enjoy!

I was wondering if I could use your guide in my software. Its an FPSC IDE which I am planning on releasing for free to the community. I'd be taking your descriptions and copying them into the help aid system. Will credit you if you want.

Thanks!

First of all I use this guide about 10 times a day when I'm about to script something big (even if I'm veyr used to the language) and I LOOOOOOOOOVE it!

I just wanted to correct something:

3.12.2.3 CHANGEHUDALPHA=HUDName Alpha
Description: This sets the alpha channel of the HUD identified to the value given.
Range: HUDName = Any valid HUD.
Alpha = 0 to 100.
Example: :state=1:changehudalpha=MainTitle 50

Alpha is 0 to 255

Nothing big just wanted to mention it proofed it myself

Ched,

There may be an error in the documentation.

Pg 47- Unofficial FPSC Complete Script Syntax List iss5.0.pdf



Does the value of 1 not set the reset "on" and 0 sets it "off"?


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

Sorry Ched. One more on the same section and command.

You have "RESETGLOBALSONRELOAD".

The source (r737) has:

actword$(AIACTRESETONRELOAD)="resetglobalsonload"

Your command in the PDF should be "RESETGLOBALSONLOAD=x".

Quote: "I apologize for misguiding anyone, but as for quantity my first assumption was wrong. I wasn't paying attention. This is not an action it is a condition.

Considering it a condition I tested this out by first setting this script line:

:quantity=1:destroy and placing it in the shoot ai.

The character was destroyed immediately.

So, I changed the quantity to 2. I was assuming that the entity would be destroyed when it got to ammo quantity of "2". Didn't happen. Never was destroyed.

The inconsistency makes this perplexing and leaves me with the conclusion, "I don't know what is going on with this.""

Hey Flatlander,
Is it possible that it is a boolean, whereas quantity=0 means the characters ammo is empty, and quantity=1 means that the ammo is not empty???
Not sure why I didn't comment before about this, but the thought hit me when I was reading this again.

Wow, Conjured Entertainment. Haven't seen you around for awhile. I'm not visiting as often now either but thought I would check to see what you were up to.

It could be used as a boolean. I started looking at this in the code and will let y'all know.

Addendum #1

It is somewhat confusing at first as it usually is. I believe it is a condition meant for any one of the players weapon. This condition was created very early on and probably in v1.0. I also believe it probably was one of those commands Lee meant to revisit later and probably never did. It definitely doesn't work now and it won't because it has to be associated with a player's weapon. Instead, it always is associated with the entity that contains the script with the quantity condition. So, if you put it in a trigger zone it will always compare the quantity value in the script with 0. If an NPC it will always be compared to 1.

I will continue to look at it later and check out if the variable that the quantity is stored in changes or not throughout the game. I have to add some code to write to a log file for this.

Right now, I would venture an educated guess that this command is dead.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

I love it. It's been a long time since I have seen anything Monty Python.

I've just started to look at the code again. I think that quantity might instead be the NPC's amount of ammo. As I said before this was a bit confusing trying to look at a hodge-podge of code. I will start testing with log file results. I'm going to start by seeing what happens when the player picks up an NPC's weapon.

Hey guys, don't worry about the "quantity" condition - I figured it out - it is only related to the number of clips carried by the NPC. The syntax list should already say this.

Thanks Ched80. I see that you are finished with your mobile game?

Quote: "The syntax list should already say this."


I didn't even think to look. It does say that. What is confusing though is that the NPC quantity is 1 even if the NPC is unarmed. I just found that out. Also, there is a place in the code

if entityprofile(entid).ischaracter=1
if entityprofile(entid).quantity=0 then entityprofile(entid).quantity=1
endif

In other words if the entity is a character and if the quantity is 0 it changes it to 1. This is OK because when the player picks up a NPC weapon it checks to see if the NPC actually has a weapon to pick up before adding in the quantity for the player (or adding the weapon) which is based on the clip. I have not found that the quantity is ever any larger than 1. So again, it seems that the condition is useless as the value provided is always compared to one. There's one more thing I would like to check. Just out of curiosity.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

I can't seem to log the quantity at any time that reveals a value greater than one. I give up.

One thing about the condition. It assumes that the entity is a character and it probably should go in the main somehow. Or maybe a shoot script, I don't know. If you put it into the main of a non-character entity the quantity will always be zero for that entity.

I am not sure how one would give the NPC another clip. It's all automatic according to the gun spec (reloadqty). So, basically a useless condition? The NPC will always have 1 clip and it might have a second clip very, very briefly at any one time. In testing one time with the colt45, after I killed the NPC who also had a colt45, I was able to pick up 0 bullets and two clips. This never showed up in my log, however. Reason? Entities were deleted from the grid.

So, "e's resting" but probably can't wake 'im up.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

Yeah, it has been too long.
I'll be around more often in the near future.
It's good to be back, but I have a lot of catching up to do.
Hence the need to learn the newest scripting conditions/actions.

Yup, there are a lot of new conditions and actions added for v1.20.

When you mentioned a boolean possibility for the condition quantity I was almost sure that was probably the way it was used; until I looked at the code. It seems that if this is a needed condition it could be made to work. But not with clips but with total amount of bullets left which would include what is in the clip. I'm not convinced that this would be useful for a NPC, however. I could see that it might be useful to use for the player ammo amount left.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.
