Script Core Suggestions

[LORD KILLA]

new Events/Functions:

Code: [Select]

Function OnPlayerShoot (ID, Weapon: Byte): Boolean;
begin
  Result := false; // false: Discard bullet (dont create it), true: Create it
end;

Function GetCursorPosition (ID: Byte; X: Boolean): Single;
begin
  if X = true then Result := {get cursor position code here(X)} else Result := {get cursor position code here(Y)};
end;

I vote for OnPlayerShoot, would make my accuracy script allot cleaner.

having shell_exec changed so it is not limited to 8 characters doesn't ruin case sensitivity (it does everything in caps at least in windows) <- required for a script I want to do..

[DorkeyDear]

function SocketReceivedLength(Index: integer): integer;
function ReadSocket(Index, Length: integer): string; // reads the next Length characters... if longer than whats ready, it waits for it? or throws an exception.. or just returns what it gets..

[DorkeyDear]

function ExceptionProcName(ExProc: cardinal): string;
ExProc is the value returned by ExceptionProc: cardinal;

[DorkeyDear]

function FunctionExists(Script, FuncName: string): boolean;

and just an idea i just came up with, would make some things easier, but not necessarily necessary
function GetFunction(Script, FuncName: string): TFunc; // or if TVarType supports it... but i doubted it
function InvokeFunction(Func: TFunc): variant;
can be used for other things like RenameFunction <- not sure what the real use of it would be tho

CreatePackage / UsePackage - allowing temporary modification of objects and possibly images such as boxes and flags and such. can come out to be kick-ass server mods

[DorkeyDear]

procedure Write(const Text: string);
procedure WriteAt(const X, Y: integer; const Text: string);
(console functions)

I believe you mentioned something about a Time function, but howabout a DateTime function?
Also ability to minipulate the return values of either into a string functions.

Possibly:
DateTimeTotalMinutes(Time: cardinal): cardinal;
DateTimeMinutes(Time: cardinal): cardinal;
DateTimeTotalHours(Time: cardinal): cardinal;
etc.. Something similar to .NET's TimeSpan class' methods: DateTime[Total](Days|Hours|Minutes|Seconds|Ticks|Milliseconds) whereas [] is optional and (a|b|c) are ors.

EDIT:
parameter is specified time (FormatDate does not have this ability); would probably be better if you did something similar to FormatDate but with a time parameter (new function)
FormatDateTime(Time: cardinal, Format: string): string;

[LORD KILLA]

function FormatDate(): string;
>_<, we have already gotta that, look in eC help .-.

Instead of having lots of things like MovePlayer, ForceWeapon and SetScore, why not just have:
SetPlayerStat(ID: byte, Stat: string, Value: variant)
Of course it wouldn't work for things like IP and Name (possibly could create a temp name).

I'd also like SetPlayerVelocity(ID: byte, VelX, VelY: Single)

[Gizd]

I'd also like SetPlayerVelocity(ID: byte, VelX, VelY: Single)

SetPlayerStat(ID, 'VelX', x)

It's undoubtably been suggested before, but an IsAdmin() function is more-than-needed.

[Gizd]

Why not just add 'admin' to GetPlayerStat?

[Bloo]

Even better.

functions relating to weapon mods (current mod; current mod filename; mod name at least?)

current mapslist filename; ability to get the mapslist (one map at a time if you can't?)? (i believe there is/was a command to modify it, but not modify the file?)

function GetMapsList(): array of string;
var MapslistFilename: string;

Something that acts similar to the way cookies act on websites. Temporary (or permenant data) stored client-side that can be retrieved by the server whenever, and only by that server.

i see no reason why not to still call them cookies.

procedure SetCookie(Name, Value: string);
function GetCookie(Name: string): string;
procedure DeleteCookie(Name: string);
function CookieList(): array of string; // list of cookie names

Having ReadLnSocket either return '' or throw an exception once the socket becomes disconnected. Please and thank you.

A function SocketReady(const Index: integer): boolean; or something which checks whether ReadLnSocket is ready to retrieve some text or not. (So you don't have ReadLnSocket waiting if you don't want it to)

ServerModifier('Resistance',x) - modifies air resistance.

> 0 - speed is deacreasing(very high value will unable any bullet/player to move)
= 0 - speed doesn't change(awesome with gravity set to 0)
< 0 - speed is increasing(100% fun  )

GetPlayerStat(ID, 'registered')
