BSL:Functions

Signature

Arguments

Put usage of brackets and commas here. Also tell about the weak syntax (with space as a separator).

Return value

When used alone forces the exit from a function. When used with a variable it forces the exit from a function and returns that variable.

Example (1)

func void spawnUs () {
     ai2_spawn(Muro);
     sleep(200);
     return;
     ai2_spawn(Barabas);
}

In this example the code ai2_spawn(Barabas); is never executed.

Example (2)

var int current_char_id=0;

func int spawnCharacter (string char_name) {
     ai2_spawn(char_name);
     current_char_id=current_char_id+1;
     return current_char;
     dmsg("Hello.");
}

In this example the current_char is returned from the function (notice the int declaration at the begin of function, which declares the type to return). dmsg("Hello."); is never executed.

Declaration

Put usage of func here.

[...]

• Tips:
  • If you call a second function from inside another function, the second function will be executed til its end and then the rest of the first function gets executed.
  • You can call a function recursively, but only up to about four times, then the script execution stucks for some reason (maybe intentional to prevent endless loops?).
  • BSL doesn't allow function name overriding even if the parameters are different (in java you can for example).
  • Seems there is a limit of 8 parameters for each function.

Multithreading

Put usage of fork here.

[...]

• Tips:
  • Use "fork" in conjunction with "sleep" to ensure that there is always only one running copy of the function. (Themselves looping functions without sleep can crash the game.)
  • And remember to design the code so it cannot create two copies of the function running in parallel. When that happens, the desired loop effect is usually broken and "echos" start to apprear.

chr_index

chr_index is a variable required by some functions like chr_focus. This variable hold a ID for a character and each character have a chr_index associated.

Normally the chr_index is associated by the order of the spawn of the characters. The characters can be spawned either by scripting or by the engine itself (if it doesn't have NotInitiallyPresent flag at BINACJBOCharacter file).

For example:

ai2_spawn Muro
ai2_spawn Mukade
ai2_spawn Bomber

With the follow code Muro will receive the index 1, Mukade index 2 and Bomber index 3. Konoko always have a chr_index of 0, because it's always the first character to be spawned.

This ok, but there's an exception. Once a character is deleted, either by be killed (and the engine delete it automatically) or by calling chr_delete directly the following characters to be spawned will fill the holes left by the deleted.

For example:

ai2_spawn Muro
ai2_spawn Mukade
chr_delete Mukade
ai2_spawn Bomber

In this example Mukade have the index 2, but once it's deleted (in this case directly by chr_delete function) there will be hole where his id were. When Bomber is spawned, it isn't associated the index 3, but it will be associated the index 2, to fill the hole left behind.

Seems the chr_index variables make part of an array in memory, once some variable in the array is cleared, in the next opportunity it is filled up again.

If you want to reset chr_index you may want to use ai2_reset, which resets all characters to level initial state (take a look at ai2_reset implications before using it here).

Native functions

Line structure: script command [parameter] - description - example

Parameter:

• parameter

you have to use this parameter

• [parameter]

IMO, this parameter is an option. You can use it or not.

• (null)

type only the script command, nothing else

• no parameter given

type the script command and add "= 0" or "= 1" (sometimes you can add higher numbers, e.g. cm_distance = 200)

• Commands in this color are Windows-only
• Commands in this color are Mac-only

• chr_givepowerup [ai_name:string | script_id:int] powerup:string [amount:int] - gives a character a powerup -chr_givepowerup 0 ammo 1

powerup strings: ammo, cell, hypo, shield (in percent), invis (invisibility in frames, -1 = forever), lsi (amount is ignored)

• chr_giveweapon [ai_name:string | script_id:int] weapon_name:string - gives a character a new weapon - chr_giveweapon 0 w1_tap

weapon strings: w1_tap, w2_sap, w3_phr, w4_psm, w5_sbg, w6_vdg, w7_scc, w8_mbo, w9_scr, w10_sni, w11_ba1, w12_ba2

• chr_has_empty_weapon [ai_name:string | script_id:int] - returns if this character is holding a weapon that is empty - chr_has_empty_weapon(char_0)

This function only returns if the player is out of ammo for the weapon and the weapon is also empty.

• chr_has_lsi [ai_name:string | script_id:int] - records that the character has the lsi - chr_has_lsi(0)
• chr_health chr_index:int [hit_points:int] - sets character's health - chr_health 0 300
• chr_holdkey [ai_name:string | script_id:int] key_name:string num_frames:int - forces a character to hold a key down for some frames
• chr_inv_reset [ai_name:string | script_id:int] - clears a characters inventory - chr_inv_reset ambush_tanker_1a
• chr_invincible [ai_name:string | script_id:int] [on_off:int{0 | 1}] - makes a character invincible - chr_invincible char_0 1
• chr_is_player [ai_name:string | script_id:int] - returns if this character is the player - chr_is_player(character)
• chr_location chr_index:int [loc_x:float loc_y:float loc_z:float] - Sets the location of any character -chr_location 0 100 100 100

The first parameter is [ai_name:string | chr_index:int] on Macs, that is, you can supply the name of the AI or its index number.

• chr_location_settocamera chr_index:int - Sets the location of any character to the camera location -chr_location_settocamera 1
• chr_lock_active [ai_name:string | script_id:int] - locks the character active - chr_lock_active IntroMuro
• chr_main_class [class_name:string | class_index:int] - sets the main characters class - chr_main_class striker_easy_1

If you provide an index number ("IN") higher than the available number of characters ("NC"), the engine will keep iterating through the available characters, wrapping around when it hits the end, until it has traversed IN characters. For instance if NC = 85 and you input chr_main_class(180), the engine will change your class to the index 10 (180-85-85).

The practical effect seems to be different than chr_set_class (besides the parameters). For example with chr_main_class(ninja_hard_1) your ninja will be right handed while with chr_set_class(0,ninja_hard_1) your ninja will be left handed. Other difference is that chr_main_class seem to disable the daodan effect when using chr_super in the character itself.

• chr_neutral [ai_name:string | script_id:int] passive:int{0 | 1} - stops an AI from thinking for itself - chr_neutral ParkStriker 1
• chr_nocollision [ai_name:string | script_id:int] on_off:int{0 | 1} - disables collision for a character - chr_nocollision 0 1

• chr_playback [ai_name:string | script_id:int] film_name:string [mode:string{"fromhere" | "interp"}] [num_frames:int] - plays back a film

See comments on this function where it occurs under the film section.

• chr_playback_block [ai_name:string | script_id:int] film_name:string [mode:string{"fromhere" | "interp"}] [num_frames:int] - plays back a film and blocks until complete
• chr_playback_debug film_name:string - dumps stats for a playback film
• chr_poison [ai_name:string | script_id:int] damage:int interval:int [initial_interval:int] - slowly poisons a character - chr_poison (konoko, 10, 60, 90);

This is intended to be called in a continuous stream for a character standing in a trigger volume which represents an area that does ambient damage, such as a fire. No damage is done for the first "initial_interval" frames that the function is called, or, when "initial_interval" is not supplied, for the first "interval" frames; and then additional damage is only done once every "interval" frames as the function continues to be called every frame by the TV. Thus, calling this function a single time directly from a script will have zero effect.

• chr_super [ai_name:string | script_id:int] super_amount:float - set's a character's super value (the command isn't restricted to enable or disable the daodan particles, a value > 1 will make the daodan particles glow more), this command does not seem to affect the damage dealt in any way (differently from normal hypo over health) - chr_super 0 1
• chr_talk [ai_name:string | script_id:int] sound_name:string pre_pause:int post_pause:int [priority:string | ] - causes a character to play a line of dialogue - chr_talk victim_mansci_1 c02_62_11sci 0 0

film

• chr_playback [ai_name:string | script_id:int] film_name:string [mode:string{"fromhere" | "interp"}] [num_frames:int] - plays back a film

Film playback has three modes: normal (default), fromhere and interp. When you ask for a film to play without specifying a mode, e.g. playback 0 IntroKonokoAim it warps the character to an XYZ starting location contained in the FILM. If you instead write playback 0 IntroKonokoAim fromhere, it ignores the starting location and plays the film from the character's current location. You can interpolate from the character's current position to the film's starting position with playback 0 IntroKonokoAim interp 20 to avoid a small jump in location (however this will be rejected if the distance is greater than 80 world units). After "interp" comes the number of frames to which this interpolation should be applied as the film starts playing.

"Dialogue" is routinely misspelled as "dialog" in the following command names and descriptions.

• sound_dialog_play name:string - function to start character dialog playing - sound_dialog_play c00_01_18shinatama
• sound_dialog_play_block name:string - function to start character dialog playing after the current dialog finishes - sound_dialog_play_block c00_01_67shinatama

Making two successive calls to sound_dialog_play will cause the second line of dialogue to fail to play, and you will only hear the first line. In the level scripts, BWest prevents this by either (1) using sleep() between them, (2) calling another function that blocks further script execution for a while such as chr_animate_block or cm_anim_block, or (3) using sound_dialog_play_block. This function is commonly called with either no argument or the argument "pause", which has no meaning to the function; "pause" was either a mnemonic for the developers indicating the purpose of the function call or else the function was changed during development. The only argument that has meaning to sound_dialog_play_block is the name of a sound. However, even when no valid sound name is received to be played by the function, it still has the effect of blocking on the currently playing dialogue. Thus you will commonly see "sound_dialog_play_block" or "sound_dialog_play_block pause" calls between occurrences of sound_dialog_play. More rarely, you will see calls of the format "sound_dialog_play_block actual_sound_name" for the next line of dialogue, which is more efficient than making an empty call to sound_dialog_play_block between sound_dialog_play calls for dialogue. Why didn't BWest always do it that way? Again it may be due to a change in the functionality of sound_dialog_play_block during development. But occasionally it may be desirable to separate the playing of a dialogue line from the command to block on it, for instance if you want to perform some actions immediately after starting a line playing, then block until the line finishes, then perform additional actions before playing further dialogue.
