Scripting hints

Scripting hints

A few useful commands:

To print a large message on the screen:

iprintlnbold(stringMessage); or to a specific player: player iprintlnbold(stringMessage);

To print a small message on the bottom left of the screen:

iprintln(stringMessage); same as iprintlnbold() to a specific player

To check whether a variable or entity exists:

if(isdefined(timetowait))

 wait (timetowait);

You can also use functions in if statements, by the returned value:

if(checksomething())
  //code here

checksomething()
{
  if(var == "hi there!") //remember to use == in if statements to check equality, but var1 = var2 to set equality outside them.
    return true;
  else
    return false;
}
