Updating script support, taking requests

[PutraenusAlivius]

Some nice suggestions so far. Keep them coming!

Can you make the if-else function that the parameter could turn Integers to Bools and vice-versa?

Could you rephrase this? Not sure I understand exactly.

Make the if-else function to be able to interpret from Bools too instead of just Integers.

PHP Code: (Select All)

if(1) 


could be the same as

PHP Code: (Select All)

if(true)

This is inherent to the AngelScript language, use casts (even though it's bad) to overcome these errors.

Hold on, change the if-else AND the switch statement to accommodate this please.

That's not necessary

Code: (Select All)

bool IntToBool (int x)
{
    if (x != 0) return true
    else return false
}

if (IntToBool(number)) ...

I have a little question.Is it possible to make outside levels,like in AAMFP,with the updated version of ATDD?I don't know if this question was asked before,but I can't find it anywhere.

you can do that in the current version sir
(that is given you have the right custom assets)

A few more suggestions, mainly regarding entities:

• GetEntityFilename(entity) - Determine the name of the entity file for a given entity in the map
  
• GetEntityJoints(entity) - return a list of all joint names in the entity
  
• GetWheelAngle
  
• GetLampLit
  
• Get/Set #tinderboxes & thalers the player has
  
• Built in method to compose rotations - E.g. float[] applyRotation(Ax,Ay,Az,Bx,By,Bz) - returns a rotation from the resultant transform of A followed by B. I suggest this as if SetRotation is exposed, it will save us from having to re-implement matrices (or quaternions) for rotation composition.

This is inherent to the AngelScript language, use casts (even though it's bad) to overcome these errors.

In fact, AngelScript allows you to define implicit casts:

I am against the integer to bool implicit conversion on the grounds of legible code. When the boolean type has been made available, it is best practice to use a boolean to represent a boolean value, rather than stick in some coercion to get around the fact that int isn't bool - especially when the language does not do this by default. Just use !=0 - it is far easier to see what is going on at a glance, and it's 3 extra characters.

I agree with this.
