Please learn english instead of using google translate because i cannot understand you.

Translate it back to polish on translate.google.pl and it makes perfect sense.

Im chill like that

Something that confused me:

Code: [Select]
function getplayerstat(id,'muted'):byte // Change result to boolean
Code: [Select]
function getplayerIDs():array of byte;
var i:byte; len:integer;
begin
 for i := 1 to 32 do if getplayerstat(i,'active') = true then begin
  inc(len,1);
  setarraylength(result,len);
  result[len-1] := i;
 end;
end;

This one has probably been suggested before, but I want this badly:

Code: [Select]
procedure onUnitCollision(id1,id2:byte);

I think this has been already suggested (probably even by me) but still...
I'd like to see a new stat added for GetObjectStat() - owner's ID.

StatResultType
OwnerID of a player who created the object (like thrown knife, dropped weapon, etc) or 255 for flags, kits, etc.Byte

I think i've mentioned somewhere that i'll be making no more changes to SC2 API.

This one has probably been suggested before, but I want this badly:

Code: [Select]
procedure onUnitCollision(id1,id2:byte);

And that'd be called when?

Whenever a soldier walks / flies through another soldier, onUnitCollision gets called. I think that this event is useful, since normal scripting is not able to achieve an effect as precise as with an in-built event, and I can already see use of it in a lot of gamemodes such as zombie RPGs or tag modes.

there's OnGameEnd already(). You can check who won by comparing team's score with max score.
Isn't it the same?

I surwival mode to each round, and may be as many as 100 Further portions to write code?
Besides, think how many new opportunities will introduce a procedure call when the round is over.

You can always set it to 0, aka infinite.

I think he meant something else. Example: time is running out, player needs more time to capture flags. He calls a vote and 5 minutes are added to the current time (via inc(timeleft,5) or w/e).

At least that's how I would use such a feature.

Edit: as long as I'm already here, OnFlagDrop(ID, TeamFlag: byte)
More a reminder than a suggestion :p.

Now we do have to do some memory management now with Script Core 3 (e.g. TNewMapObject or TNewPlayer, but also TStringList).
However, SC3 doesn't provide any elegant features to free the memory when recompiling. At the moment you have to check whether "/recompile" command has been used and free everything then.

So the suggestion would be:
1. Garbage collector on recompile (very long term)
2. OnBeforeRecompile event or any other form of Finalization block equivalent.

Already mentioned it when talking with Falcon, posting here not to forget.

I don't see your problem..

Code: [Select]
function oncommand(id:byte; text:string):boolean
begin
 if text = '/recompile' then freeAll();
 result := false;
end;

I'll think about it. For now you can simply have at least one unit, then you have finalization section.

It would be useful to have map boundry information (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax); it is the 'edge of the map' where if you try to jump into it, you respawn. In SC3, I suggest something like TMap.XMin, TMap.XMax, TMap.YMin, TMap.YMax (all of type single), or something similar.

Events for the game becoming paused or unpaused; something like OnPause, OnResume/OnUnpause or similar.

For reference, a possible workaround/alternative is to check if the game is paused or not on the event OnClockTick/AppOnIdle, and if it changes state, call the appropriate event, with the disadvantage of the event being called with a delay. Another option is to check OnPlayerCommand, with the disadvantage of not covering cases when a script pauses/unpauses the game.

It would be awesome if OnPlayerSpeak had two boolean for hiding or not hiding a message if certain conditions are met. The first one would be for showing messages in the chat, and the other one for showing messages above a player's head.

We could hide team chat or messages that are not meant for the public. That guy who just typed '/login' into normal chat? No problem. That stupid flaming bitch? No problem. Hide team chat from the opposing team? We got a cure for that.

I think it would be great to have, and with SC3, I see no problem here. :)
