A few requests. // WishlistorbNov 16, 2005, 2:22am
We ought to be able to use the wait command with astart names ie: ;astart
a wait=100, b wait=200, c The other thing was I wish we could have a way to use a trigger that would create a bump teleport or warp on a target object with create name x on it. So that a series of triggers could change the tport commands on the target. ltbrentonNov 16, 2005, 1:38pm

I wonder what made you the urge to post this 15 lines in HTML bloating the whole post to 128 lines according to Thunderbird?? Is there anything the plain text did not deliver in this message?

You got the main variable types: int char char[] string string[] bool vector list OK, I'm guessing that everyone knows most of those. List is declared like this: list myList; and can be used to store multiple values, e.g.=20 list myList =3D (/* note the square brackets */["String value 1" | 201 | = "String value 2" ]); // this list holds 3 variables and can // be accessed independently with myList.1, mylist.2, mylist.3 etc Vectors are declared with: vector myVector; and assigned values like this: myVector =3D <1,2,3>; //note the < > around the values, so that it will = not be confused for multiple arguments when used in a method Cell data limits would have to be removed, as there is actually no need = for them anyway. In the action box, to declare a script you would start = it with <?script and end with ?>. Eventually I'd like to see something = similar to SL's object inventory, where you can create and upload = AWScripts from an external editor. I'm gonna post an example "vehicle" script here <?script // Example vehicle script event script_start() { awSay("I am a vehicle. Click me to drive!"); // Constants are always blue, they can be defined by placing the = modifier "const" before the variable declaration, e.g. "const int = TYPE_VEHICLE" awSetObjectType(TYPE_VEHICLE); } event activate() { awSitAvatar(<0,0,0>); // this sits the avatar in the center of the = object. This will anchor the avatar to the object, and play the "sit" = seq. awTakeControls(CONTROL_DIRECTIONAL); // these controls can be one of = a number of control values, I haven't thought of any more awSay("Ready"); } event control(vector control_received) { // Bit of explanation here. Controls generate vector values. = Forward arrow gives <0,0,1>, backward arrow gives <0,0,-1>. Left arrow = gives <-1,0,0> and right arrow // gives <1,0,0>. You may have to alter these vectors depending on = the rotation of the object. You can use your own vectors. if(control_received.x !=3D 0) { awRotateObject(control_received); } else { awMoveObject(control_received); } } ?> This script would give a very crudely controllable vehicle.

Hehe...
Actually, talking about AW Scripting language... I've heard "stories" that such a thing was the original intention for the bot architecture but was never truly implemented from 1996... What I heard went something like thus: Back in the day, when AW was all shiny and new, the original programmers sat down when designing the AW system and began to model the design to mimic the descriptions (as best they could) of those read from stuff like Snow Crash. In the books, it was mentioned that the Metaverse (Street) had it's own scripting language by which objects could be "programmed" to perform various tasks such as basic movement, color, size, etc - but also internally the system would also interpret daemon scripting as well on objects - thus performing more advanced scripting attached to a simple object. So, all of the functions of a "bot" script could be simply written as a bot script (like those we see in Xelegot or Preston) and instead of a seperate bot server running to interpret the interactions - the client browser itself would interpret the scripting. Client Side Bot Interpreter (not server side). The command for this would look something like thus: create bot http://www.somerandomdomain.com/yourbotscript.txt and what would happen is that highly complex scripts could be written much like bot scripts are written now, stored on a server someplace as a simple txt formatted file, and downloaded on demand when the object downloaded for a user. This in turn solves a great many problems, as now a single server no longer needs to take requests from hundreds or thousands of interactions and keep up (bot lag) - instead the script itself is interpreted on the local user's machine as an advanced object. No need to count bots as users in a world (bot limits) because standard objects are now slightly more intelligent than the general picture frame. Self contained scripting for objects, without use of AW world servers to do it or running hundreds of bots (or spawns). Instead, setting a avatar in world as an object - pointing to the seq file for movement in the script, and writing some interaction scripts (like a normal bot owner would) creates an intelligent object behind a counter :) What the user sees is a bot. No external program needed to run on a server someplace. Just a 30Kb script, downloaded like a JPG. All of this (I hear) was a brainchild of Protag back in the day. The name may escape me at this wee hour of the morning (but it sounds about right, because Hiro Protagonist is the name of the main character in Snow Crash ... and ummm... so is E N Z O "smile enzo loves you"... gee I think these people are heavily influenced by Snow Crash...) This also seems to be the general process behind Second Life (as they are waving around the Metaverse Banner to the media and public)... Something tells me they may have read Snow Crash as well :) The problem with Second Life is, that a Metaverse is defined as a Data Scripted Virtual Universe. What Second Life actually is, is a MetaWorld (albeit increasing large). In order to effectively be a full blown Metaverse, a system should incorporate multiple worlds (like AW). Second Life as a company is hellbent on *not* doing multiple universe systems and wants everyone (including business) to simply be happy with a tract of land or island on their giant world... To link two Metaverse systems together has never really been touched upon, but I believe the terminology for such a thing would be Parallel Metaverse. And in quantity: Massive Parallel Metaverse (MPM) which I doubt any company in their right mind would knowingly allow... lol But to be truthful... thats what I'm working for in my company. I would *love* to see a Massive Parallel Metaverse. And nobody ever accused me of being in my right mind :P *shivers* God that makes me feel good just to type that... Okies... I'm done for now :) MPL Knight [View Quote] ltbrentonJan 23, 2006, 10:42am

Has anyone told you that char[] sucks, TCHAR sucks more, and CString owns
your your a$$? There is a reason C++ exists you know. Oh, and since when was AW *ever* unicode? Take it from someone who is currently writing a run-compilable scripting system based on C++ (kinda like typed PHP) for my bots (Looked at Lua - but no OO, Looked at Python - but its not very clean, looked at MSScript (which is still on the cards for evo) - but COM is one of those things that its hard to find up to date information on). -Precompiler --Importer ---Token parser ----Define replacer -----Reparser ------Memory Manager -------Common statement compiler Then you have to consider binding between application objects and your internal scripting object model, how to insert objects in from outside the scripting model at run-time, exception handling inside your script, it calling objects outside that have been deallocated from actual memory. Consider it a challenge, see how far you can get in 6 months.

So instead of messing about with substr() and loops, all we have to do to pull up a specific char out of an array is: say((string)stringdump[2]); // this says the second character in the string we dumped to the array earlier, in this case it would say "o" A string array can contain multiple strings. e.g. strarray[0] = "hello"; strarray[1] = "how"; strarray[2] = "are"; strarray[3] = "you?"; for(int i = 0; i <= 3; i++) { say(strarray[i]); } this would say "hello how are you" on multiple lines. That's the difference between char, char[], string, and string[]. -LtB [View Quote] ltbrentonJan 24, 2006, 8:42am
There is also C#, which uses string, string[] char and char[]. TCHAR and
CString are C++. I use C# for all my programming. DumpString2Char() is one example of a function, similar to the .NET ToCharArray() No, I assure you I am perfectly within my mind. PS: I noticed a typo in my first post, regard "deliniator" as "delimiter". I dunno how that got there. =LtB= [View Quote] strike rapierJan 24, 2006, 10:06am
Hence why people say C# smells, char[] is completely counterintuative for
anyone who knows anything about windows API. -- - Mark Randall http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk http://zetech.swehli.com "Those people that think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do" Isaac Asimov [View Quote] strike rapierJan 24, 2006, 10:14am
