Private Server

2005-07-06T03:01:47Z

Kaimetsu: complete rewrite

A '''private server''' is a [[server]] that does not appear in the client's [[serverlist]]. In most cases this is because they are still under development and don't yet qualify to be listed under the [[hosted]] tab, but some are intended to remain this way indefinitely (one example is the #gscript server).

Private servers are almost always understaffed, their managers having bought them without first securing all the help they need. Many are completely abandoned.

Kaimetsu: more betterer wording

'''Elemental Kingdoms''' was a playerworld designed and implemented by [[falco10291029|Falco]]. It was eventually shut down, ostensibly due to lack of staff and problems brought upon by the switch to GS2.

== History ==

Started as four nearly empty gmaps and a playerhearts system, now using several custom systems with a near complete main map and four sidemaps in development. Elemental Kingdoms is no longer playable, as the subscription has run out.

== Content ==

Custom hp and damage system. Creative Experience and Power Systems. Many weapons. Ability to specialize with Class and Element, and there were plans to have subclasses as well. There was a custom battle system in heavy development and, including [[falco10291029]], about 3 or 4 staff that actually did any work. There were mines, mineral mines, an upgrade shop, a weaponsmith, and more. The server was recently shutdown, however, and thus these things won't be completed.

Graal Communication Center

2005-06-22T10:09:43Z

Kaimetsu: /* Curiosities */ kind of outdated

The '''Graal Communication Center ''' is the official forum of [[GraalOnline]].

The official name is ''Graal Communication Center (reserved for gold and vip subscribers)'', but only [[Unixmad]] calls it that.

== Structure ==

The forum is currently divided into [[GCC:Section]]s: the [[GCC:General Section]], [[GCC:Gold Section]], [[GCC:3D Section]], [[GCC:Playerworlds Section]], [[GCC:Development Section]] and [[GCC:Private Section]].
Each section holds multiple [[GCC:Subforum]]s.

A oversized moderation force with not equally balanced qualification is moderating the Graal Communication Center. Some [[GCC:Moderator]]s moderate one or more individual subforums or a whole forum section. Some subforums are not moderated directly, and more interesting ones are overseen by multiple moderators. [[Spark911]], [[Kamuii]] and [[Moon Goddess]] are still [[GCC:Super moderator]]s, and thus should be fairly moderating the whole Communication Center.
[[MagicalTux]] from the [[Cyberjoueurs]] offices is also serving as forums administrator.

== Access ==

[[Gold account|Gold]] and [[VIP account|VIP]] accounts can access the board freely, with no restrictions. Since Christmas of 2004, [[Classic account]]s are also able to use the board, but they are forced to wait eight hours between making consecutive posts.

It is against the [[GCC:Rules]] of the forums to post messages from or for non-members of the forums. This is to prevent [[Account sharing]], which was very common in the forum's past and arguably had a negative influence on the motivation to buy a [[Gold account]].

== Neutrality ==

Unsurprisingly, the forums are very biased towards the [[Graal administration]]. Sadly, the [[Forum administration]] considers it neccessary to enforce this bias with rules that make ''any'' kind of [[GCC:Negativity|criticism]] a [[ban]]worthy action. Thus, it is not possible to discuss [[ban]]s, actions of [[GraalOnline]] considered harmful or unfair, or shortcomings of the adminstration including [[Playerworld staff]] or the [[Gold server]]s.

Luckily, the most conservative moderators seem to have grown increasingly [[Spark911|igno]][[Moon Goddess|rant]] of these issues.

== Curiosities ==

* Two miscreants ([[Zurkiba]] and one as-yet-unnamed member) were [[ban|banned]] by [[Unixmad]] as part of a continuing (and utterly futile) drive to make the forums into a nicer place. More details [[Unixmad_swears_death_and_vengeance_on_inappropriate_words|here]].
* Apparently, now even [[Moon Goddess suggests that you should stop playing Graal]].

Firstly, quotation marks should not be used if they are not delimiting a quote.<br\>
Secondly, the context already makes it clear that 'miscreant' is being used in an ironic fashion.<br\>

Kaimetsu: reword

The '''Mudlib''' provides [[Graal Kingdoms]] - and, by extension, [[Graal2002 Debug]] - with its extra '''M'''ulti-'''U'''ser '''D'''ungeon options. Playerworlds are supposedly now granted access to this functionality, starting with [[Maloria Dev]].

This library also extends [[GScript]] with a few extra commands that allow it to access and modify MUD accounts.

The [[Graal Kingdoms]] mudlib is derived from [http://crossfire.real-time.com/ Crossfire].

The '''Support Center''' is also known as the Graal Helpdesk. For most players it is the primary means of contacting staff, whether it be for reporting bugs, voicing complaints or making requests. Each item of communication is stored as a 'ticket', and placed in a queue from which various admins (including [[Stefan]], [[unixmad]], [[Spark911]] and members of the [[PWA]]) can retrieve it at their convenience.

Map

2005-04-18T11:00:16Z

Kaimetsu:

A '''map''' is a 2D pictorial representation of an area. Graal has built-in functionality for generating, downloading and displaying maps. On servers that make use of the default features, players can access the map for their current area by pressing 'M' on the keyboard. The [[client]] will show the player's current position along with the positions of other players.

Maps are created by server staff, either through some dedicated graphics application or by use of Graal's map generator. Then they are uploaded to the server and [[GScript|scripts]] are written to direct the [[client]] to the relevant file through use of the setmap (?) command.

Multiple maps can be used on a single server. Most commonly they are used to represent the [[overworld]], but other significant areas may be given their own maps (especially if they are relatively large or complex).

A smaller, largely transparent version of the map is displayed in the lower-left of the screen. It is called the minimap, and can be disabled by pressing Ctrl+3 (?).

Kaimetsu: standardisation

To Kojjiro: It is standard to put all biographical information in a single page such as this one. The texts from User:Kojjiro and User_talk:Kojjiro are shown below. You are advised to combine them into a single description and save it to this page (replacing my text).<br\>
Also, please note that the Wiki doesn't recognise line breaks between consecutive lines of text - instead, it treats them as a single line. If you wish to have the content look as it does on the edit page then you should insert breakpoints (<br\>) at the ends of the relevant lines.<br\>

Events Team

2005-04-13T09:31:56Z

Kaimetsu: italics -> bold

The term '''Events Team''' has come to refer to a group of officials on a [[server]] that organise special events to entertain players. These vary in theme dramatically, but usually involve some element of competition (trivia, sparring contests, etc) and reward (specific to the [[server]] - sometimes money, sometimes items, sometimes special tokens).

As with 'LAT' and 'NAT', the abbreviation 'ET' is often used to refer to individual members of the Events Team rather than the whole.

Server

2005-04-13T09:30:11Z

Kaimetsu:

In the most common usage of the term, a '''server''' is a world to which the Graal [[client]] can connect. The word is somewhat misleading, since many worlds can be hosted on the same physical server, but it is prevalent nonetheless. The difference between the terms 'server' and a '[[playerworld]]' is that the latter can't be used to refer to [[GraalOnline]]-operated worlds such as [[Graal Kingdoms]]. A [[playerworld]] is a server but a server is not necessarily a [[playerworld]].

The term is also used to refer to the [[GServer]] that runs a given world.

Creation/Dev/Level editor

2005-04-13T09:08:30Z

Kaimetsu: rewrote some sections

The '''level editor''' is a tool provided by [[GraalOnline]] for designing and editing [Level|levels]. It is in many ways a reduced version of the online client, and it allows designers to enter the level as though it were online. It also facilitates the creation of NPCs, and features a debugger (accessed via F6) to aid in the development thereof.

The proper way to access the level editor is by opening GraalEditor.exe in the [[Graal]] folder. Windows can be configured to use the editor by default when opening .nw and .graal files.

Once a [[level]] has been saved, it can be uploaded to a [[Playerworld]] using the [[RC file manager]].

Tileset

2005-04-13T08:39:47Z

Kaimetsu:

A '''tileset''' is simply a set of [[tile]]s, standardly held in a large png. [[Scripter|Scripters]] can tell the [[client]] to use a given tileset - either replacing or editing the default pics1.png - through use of the addtiledef and addtiledef2 commands.

Creation/Dev/Tile

2005-04-13T08:37:59Z

Kaimetsu: more information, slight elucidation

A '''tile''' is a square of color, 16 pixels in height and width. [[Level|Levels]] are made up of 4096 tiles, making a 64x64 grid.

The tile is also the standard unit of measure when dealing with objects within levels, although players and NPCs can have positions that don't align with the tile grid.

Guild

2005-04-13T06:32:15Z

Kaimetsu:

A '''guild''' is a group of [[Graalian]]s that can adopt a [[tag]], specific to their guild.

Players can join multiple guilds and use the tags interchangeably on the same server. Indeed, it is possible to join a guild without ever wearing the tag. Some feel that this is missing the point.

Guilds can either be global, meaning that they can be used on any server (unless the staff have specifically prevented it), or local. On [[Graal Kingdoms]], for example, there is one guild for each Kingdom. Since it would not make sense for them to be used on other servers, they have been defined as local guilds.

Local guilds can be freely created by server staff. However, global guilds must be approved by the [[Guild Admin]], and this will only happen if enough players support their creation. Guilds whose names contain offensive words or copyrighted terms will most likely be rejected. Even if a guild is deemed acceptable, it will not be enabled until at least ten (?) Graalians have supported it through the Guild CP.

It is common that staff members will use guild tags to declare their role. [[NPC]]s are sometimes coded such that they only respond to somebody with a specific staff tag.

Worlds/N-Pulse

2005-04-12T06:03:14Z

Kaimetsu: rewritten

'''N-Pulse''' is one of Graal's older [[playerworld]]s, originally founded by [[Geovanie]] shortly before the dawn of time. Since that time it has endured various makeovers and spinoffs (including Geo's abysmal 'Tierdal'), all of which missed the point: Whatever popularity the [[playerworld]] has, it is a function of its ''community''. Unsurprisingly, both are waning.

Nonetheless, N-Pulse is still active enough to cause a little controversy every few months as people fight over the manager role. Currently (12/04/05), it is under the unreliable leadership of [[Moon Goddess]].

Creation/Dev/GScript

2005-04-11T07:06:54Z

Kaimetsu: Reverted edit of Hiro, changed back to last version by Rick

'''GScript''' is [[Graal]]'s scripting language.

Its syntax and some of its semantics might seem familiar to those who program in [[WikiPedia:C (Programming Language) | C]] or derived languages, although it lacks some of the expressivity of a real programming language and has special constructs that make programming [[Graal]] [[NPC]]s easier.

GScript started as a very limited language and has since kept up with improvements to the game engine and can now be used for pretty sophisticated scripts that greatly customise the gaming experience.

It is used, with minor differences, for [[Clientside]] tasks like [[GUI | GUI programming]], special effects with nifty 3d lighting and custom [[NPC Weapons]] or "engines", and [[Serverside]] systems like player housing, complex baddies or pets.

[[Old GScript]] has been replaced by a new version (dubbed GScript2 during development) that is rather advanced, in some way object oriented, and thanks to influence from [[Torque]]'s scripting language, less brain-damaged in some aspects. No offense intended.

GScript can be discussed in the [[GScript IRC channel]].

[[Script Functions: Client]]

[[Script Functions: NPC Server]]

[[Script Functions: Graal 3D]]

== Introduction ==

=== Why scripts ===

Scripts bring life into objects and make it easy to
customize the game. Instead of just placing a stone
into your world, you can make it so that the stone
can be lifted or kicked. Instead of being limited to
some fixed player movement you can rescript it
to let the player jump, strafe and duck. To let the
player inspect and organize his/her items you can
create some dialogs and display those by script,
e.g. when the player presses a special key.

In Graal the scripting is done in 'Graal Script',
it's looking like Java/C++, but brings some
additional features for making things easier
for game creators, while on the other hand
running in a sandbox and limiting access to
game-related stuff only.

Graal Script is almost fully compatible to
the 'old' Graal script used in Graal v1.0 - 3.0,
and is partially compatible to Torque script.

=== NPCs and 'weapons' ===

There are generally two types of objects in Graal
which have scripts: The first type are the
non-player-characters (NPCs). The name 'NPC' is
actually used for all visible objects in the game:
monsters, stones, bushes, houses, ships, plants etc.
Scripts for npcs are most of the time containing
code for moving the npc or for reacting to
activities of the player, e.g. giving money to
the player when he grabs the npc.
The other type of script-holding objects are the
'weapons'. Those are items in the inventory of
the player, not necessary being weapons. Most of
the time they are actually just scripts which
control the movement of the player, display weapon
graphics, or display menus.

So there are objects in the game which have
their own script, and players which have a set
of scripts in their invisible backpack.

=== Server-side and client-side ===

Graal is an online game, and there are differences
to standard scripting in offline games.
In offline programs you have access to everything,
anytime. In online games everything is divided
into two parts: the server-side which controls
most things in the game, and the client-side which
displays the game to the player.
Since the client only displays things, it is not
possible to cheat by hacking the client. On client-side
you mainly have code for displaying special effects,
for displaying the GUI (windows, status bars, item menus),
playing sound effects and music. Also the player
movement is done on client-side.
On the server-side scripts are used to do the more
secure parts of the game engine are implemented,
and things that are the same for all players -
npcs are added, moved, npcs interact with players,
the stats of the players are calculated, the
communication between players is handled.

All scripts for npcs and weapons can contain
server-side code and client-side code. The server-side
code is executed directly on the server, the
client-side code is sent to the client when he
logins and executed separately for each player on
their own computer. Usually the two parts of the script
are divided by line that only contains "//#CLIENTSIDE",
like this:

<pre>// Server-side part which is setting the image
// of the npc when it is created
function onCreated() {
setimg("door.png");
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

// Here follows the client-side part,
// which plays a sound effect when the player
// touchs the npc
function onPlayerTouchsme() {
play("chest.wav");
}</pre>

=== Events ===

In general scripts are made for reacting to
events - when the npc is created then the script
initializes the attributes of the npc,
when the player says something then the npc is
moving to the player, when the player grabs the
npc then the npc is giving the player some money etc.
So the script is basicly a collection of actions
that are done when special events are happening.
Events can e.g. be the "created" event when the npc
is created, the "playertouchsme" event when the
player touchs the npc, or the "playerchats" event
when the player says something. To write code reacts
to one of those event, you define an event
function like this:

<pre>function onEVENTNAME() {
// actions
}</pre>

When the event is happening, then Graal executes
that scripting function and all commands you
have added there.
Sometimes the event gives some parameters to the
event function, then change your function to:

<pre>function onEVENTNAME(parameter1, paramater2, ...) {
// actions
}</pre>

By accessing 'parameter1' etc. (you can name
them differently) you can react to the event more
exactly.

Instead of reacting to events, the npcs and
weapons can also invoke new events. That way
you can let other npcs doing things. You also
need that if you want to coninuously doing things -
use timeout event for that.

<pre>function onCreated() {
timeout = 1;
}

function onTimeout() {
// actions
timeout = 1;
}<pre/>

In the onCreated event function the script is
setting the timer to 1 second. When that second is
over, then the "timeout" event is invoked on the
npc and the onTimeout event function is executed.
Because it is setting the timeout to 1 second
again, the onTimeout even will occur again after
one second, and so on.

Compatibility note:
In older Graal scripts you will also find the
deprecated way of receiving events:

<pre>if (EVENTNAME) {
// actions
}</pre>

That is an if-command outside of any brackets. If
Graal sees that you use such an if-command, then
it will execute the whole script so that the actions
you have written inside the if-command will be
executed too.

== Basics ==

=== Accessing variables ===

Graal Script variables are 'variant', that means they are objects
that hold values of different types.
When you assign a value to the variable then it automatically
switches to the right type:

Numeric (floating point):
var = 1;
String:
var = "hello";
Object link:
var = player;
Array (list of objects):
var = {1,2,3};

You can check the current type with the
type()-function - obj.type() returns
0,1,2,3 for numeric, string, object or array.

Text-Tags:
The text of multi-line text controls can contain
a few HTML-tags and Torque-tags, you can use both
of those tag types to define colors and fonts
or to include images. Currently following tags
are available:

HTML:
<a href=url> text </a> - when the user clicks on 'text' then
a web browser is opened for the specified url
<br> - line break
<font face=fontname size=textsize color=colorname or #rrggbb> text </font>
- draws text with a special font, size and color; you only
need to define one of those 3 attributes
<ignorelinebreaks> </ignorelinebreaks> - go into normal HTML mode where
you need to insert <br> to do a linebreak
<img src=filename id=integer> - an image is displayed, you
can also specify a tagid if you want to get onSelectTag-events
for this image
<p align=left/center/right> - sets the align of the following text
<span style="width=100; height=100;" id=integer> </span> - for
displaying a subpage, you can also specifiy an id for
onSelectTag-events; instead of <span> you can also use <div> tags

Torque:
<a:url> text </a> - when the user clicks on 'text' then
a web browser is opened for the specified url
<bitmap:filename> - an image is displayed
<color:rrggbb> - sets the color of the text (hexadecimal value)
<lmargin:pixels> - sets the left margin for the text
<lmargin%:percent> - sets the size of the left margin depending
on the width of the whole control
<linkcolor:rrggbb> - sets the color of links (the <a>-tag)
<linkcolorhl:rrggbb> - sets the highlighted color, when
the user moves the mouse over a link
<just:left/center/right> - sets the align of the following text
<rmargin:pixels> - sets the right margin for the text
<rmargin%:percent> - sets the size of the right margin depending
on the width of the whole control
<sbreak> - line break
<spush> - switches to a new style (like <font>)
<spop> - switches back to the last saved style (like </font>)
<tab:tab1,tab2,..> - sets the position of where tabulators should
be displayed if you have text like 'Apple \t Egg \t Chicken'
<tag:id> - inserts an invisible tag which can be used
for the scrollToTag(id) function (beside image-tags)

Compatibility note:
When you use the command setcharprop then the first parameter
is handled differently: instead of changing 'player.chat' it
is changing 'chat', the chat text of the npc. So 'setcharprop #c,hello'
would be translated into
chat = "hello"
while 'setplayerprop #c,hello' is translated into
player.chat = "hello"
In the list above both possibilities are listed.

Graal Communication Center

2005-04-11T03:09:03Z

Kaimetsu: made more accurate

The '''Graal Communication Center ''' is the official forum of [[GraalOnline]].

The official name is ''Graal Communication Center (reserved for gold and vip subscribers)'', but only [[Unixmad]] calls it that.

== Structure ==

The forum is currently divided into [[GCC:Section]]s: the [[GCC:General Section]], [[GCC:Gold Section]], [[GCC:3D Section]], [[GCC:Playerworlds Section]], [[GCC:Development Section]] and [[GCC:Private Section]].
Each section holds multiple [[GCC:Subforum]]s.

A oversized moderation force with not equally balanced qualification is moderating the Graal Communication Center. Some [[GCC:Moderator]]s moderate one or more individual subforums or a whole forum section. Some subforums are not moderated directly, and more interesting ones are overseen by multiple moderators. [[Spark911]], [[Kamuii]] and [[Moon Goddess]] are still [[GCC:Super moderator]]s, and thus should be fairly moderating the whole Communication Center.
[[MagicalTux]] from the [[Cyberjoueurs]] offices is also serving as forums administrator.

== Access ==

[[Gold account|Gold]] and [[VIP account|VIP]] accounts can access the board freely, with no restrictions. Since Christmas of 2004, [[Classic account]]s are also able to use the board, but they are forced to wait eight hours between making consecutive posts.

It is against the [[GCC:Rules]] of the forums to post messages from or for non-members of the forums. This is to prevent [[Account sharing]], which was very common in the forum's past and arguably had a negative influence on the motivation to buy a [[Gold account]].

== Neutrality ==

Unsurprisingly, the forums are very biased towards the [[Graal administration]]. Sadly, the [[Forum administration]] considers it neccessary to enforce this bias with rules that make ''any'' kind of [[GCC:Negativity|criticism]] a [[ban]]worthy action. Thus, it is not possible to discuss [[ban]]s, actions of [[GraalOnline]] considered harmful or unfair, or shortcomings of the adminstration including [[Playerworld staff]] or the [[Gold server]]s.

Luckily, the most conservative moderators seem to have grown increasingly [[Spark911|igno]][[Moon Goddess|rant]] of these issues.

== Curiosities ==

* Two miscreants ([[Zurkiba]] and one as-yet-unnamed member) were [[ban|banned]] by [[Unixmad]] as part of a continuing (and utterly futile) drive to make the forums into a nicer place. More details [[Unixmad_swears_death_and_vengeance_on_inappropriate_words|here]].
* Apparently, now even [[Moon Goddess suggests that you should stop playing Graal]].
* [[Falco]] has, after a notoriously bad performance at trying to prove [[Kaimetsu]] wrong, exclaimed that [[People_who_think_that_Falco_is_a_moron|at most five people think that he is a moron]] and that everybody else is well aware of his superior intellect.

Creation/Dev/GScript

2005-04-01T00:40:05Z

Kaimetsu:

'''GScript''' is [[Graal]]'s scripting language.

Its syntax and some of its semantics might seem familiar to those who program in [[WikiPedia:C (Programming Language) | C]] or derived languages, although it lacks some of the expressivity of a real programming language and has special constructs that make programming [[Graal]] [[NPC]]s easier.

GScript started as a very limited language and has since kept up with improvements to the game engine and can now be used for pretty sophisticated scripts that greatly customise the gaming experience.

It is used, with minor differences, for [[Clientside]] tasks like [[GUI | GUI programming]], special effects with nifty 3d lighting and custom [[NPC Weapons]] or "engines", and [[Serverside]] systems like player housing, complex baddies or pets.

[[Old GScript]] has been replaced by a new version (dubbed GScript2 during development) that is rather advanced, in some way object oriented, and thanks to influence from [[Torque]]'s scripting language, less brain-damaged in some aspects. No offense intended.

GScript can be discussed in the [[GScript IRC channel]].

[[Script Functions: Client]]

[[Script Functions: NPC Server]]

[[Script Functions: Graal 3D]]

== Introduction ==

=== Why scripts ===

Scripts bring life into objects and make it easy to
customize the game. Instead of just placing a stone
into your world, you can make it so that the stone
can be lifted or kicked. Instead of being limited to
some fixed player movement you can rescript it
to let the player jump, strafe and duck. To let the
player inspect and organize his/her items you can
create some dialogs and display those by script,
e.g. when the player presses a special key.

In Graal the scripting is done in 'Graal Script',
it's looking like Java/C++, but brings some
additional features for making things easier
for game creators, while on the other hand
running in a sandbox and limiting access to
game-related stuff only.

Graal Script is almost fully compatible to
the 'old' Graal script used in Graal v1.0 - 3.0,
and is partially compatible to Torque script.

=== NPCs and 'weapons' ===

There are generally two types of objects in Graal
which have scripts: The first type are the
non-player-characters (NPCs). The name 'NPC' is
actually used for all visible objects in the game:
monsters, stones, bushes, houses, ships, plants etc.
Scripts for npcs are most of the time containing
code for moving the npc or for reacting to
activities of the player, e.g. giving money to
the player when he grabs the npc.
The other type of script-holding objects are the
'weapons'. Those are items in the inventory of
the player, not necessary being weapons. Most of
the time they are actually just scripts which
control the movement of the player, display weapon
graphics, or display menus.

So there are objects in the game which have
their own script, and players which have a set
of scripts in their invisible backpack.

=== Server-side and client-side ===

Graal is an online game, and there are differences
to standard scripting in offline games.
In offline programs you have access to everything,
anytime. In online games everything is divided
into two parts: the server-side which controls
most things in the game, and the client-side which
displays the game to the player.
Since the client only displays things, it is not
possible to cheat by hacking the client. On client-side
you mainly have code for displaying special effects,
for displaying the GUI (windows, status bars, item menus),
playing sound effects and music. Also the player
movement is done on client-side.
On the server-side scripts are used to do the more
secure parts of the game engine are implemented,
and things that are the same for all players -
npcs are added, moved, npcs interact with players,
the stats of the players are calculated, the
communication between players is handled.

All scripts for npcs and weapons can contain
server-side code and client-side code. The server-side
code is executed directly on the server, the
client-side code is sent to the client when he
logins and executed separately for each player on
their own computer. Usually the two parts of the script
are divided by line that only contains "//#CLIENTSIDE",
like this:

// Server-side part which is setting the image
// of the npc when it is created
function onCreated() {
setimg("door.png");
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

// Here follows the client-side part,
// which plays a sound effect when the player
// touchs the npc
function onPlayerTouchsme() {
play("chest.wav");
}

=== Events ===

In general scripts are made for reacting to
events - when the npc is created then the script
initializes the attributes of the npc,
when the player says something then the npc is
moving to the player, when the player grabs the
npc then the npc is giving the player some money etc.
So the script is basicly a collection of actions
that are done when special events are happening.
Events can e.g. be the "created" event when the npc
is created, the "playertouchsme" event when the
player touchs the npc, or the "playerchats" event
when the player says something. To write code reacts
to one of those event, you define an event
function like this:

function onEVENTNAME() {
// actions
}

When the event is happening, then Graal executes
that scripting function and all commands you
have added there.
Sometimes the event gives some parameters to the
event function, then change your function to:

function onEVENTNAME(parameter1, paramater2, ...) {
// actions
}

By accessing 'parameter1' etc. (you can name
them differently) you can react to the event more
exactly.

Instead of reacting to events, the npcs and
weapons can also invoke new events. That way
you can let other npcs doing things. You also
need that if you want to coninuously doing things -
use timeout event for that.

function onCreated() {
timeout = 1;
}

function onTimeout() {
// actions
timeout = 1;
}

In the onCreated event function the script is
setting the timer to 1 second. When that second is
over, then the "timeout" event is invoked on the
npc and the onTimeout event function is executed.
Because it is setting the timeout to 1 second
again, the onTimeout even will occur again after
one second, and so on.

Compatibility note:
In older Graal scripts you will also find the
deprecated way of receiving events:

if (EVENTNAME) {
// actions
}

That is an if-command outside of any brackets. If
Graal sees that you use such an if-command, then
it will execute the whole script so that the actions
you have written inside the if-command will be
executed too.

== Basics ==

=== Accessing variables ===

Graal Script variables are 'variant', that means they are objects
that hold values of different types.
When you assign a value to the variable then it automatically
switches to the right type:

Numeric (floating point):
var = 1;
String:
var = "hello";
Object link:
var = player;
Array (list of objects):
var = {1,2,3};

You can check the current type with the
type()-function - obj.type() returns
0,1,2,3 for numeric, string, object or array.

==== GuiMLTextCtrl: ====
<pre>
onReflow(w,h) when the text has changed
onURL(url) when clicked on url
onSelectTag(tagid) when clicked on an image

Text-Tags:
The text of multi-line text controls can contain
a few HTML-tags and Torque-tags, you can use both
of those tag types to define colors and fonts
or to include images. Currently following tags
are available:

HTML:
<a href=url> text </a> - when the user clicks on 'text' then
a web browser is opened for the specified url
<br> - line break
<font face=fontname size=textsize color=colorname or #rrggbb> text </font>
- draws text with a special font, size and color; you only
need to define one of those 3 attributes
<ignorelinebreaks> </ignorelinebreaks> - go into normal HTML mode where
you need to insert <br> to do a linebreak
<img src=filename id=integer> - an image is displayed, you
can also specify a tagid if you want to get onSelectTag-events
for this image
<p align=left/center/right> - sets the align of the following text
<span style="width=100; height=100;" id=integer> </span> - for
displaying a subpage, you can also specifiy an id for
onSelectTag-events; instead of <span> you can also use <div> tags

Torque:
<a:url> text </a> - when the user clicks on 'text' then
a web browser is opened for the specified url
<bitmap:filename> - an image is displayed
<color:rrggbb> - sets the color of the text (hexadecimal value)
<lmargin:pixels> - sets the left margin for the text
<lmargin%:percent> - sets the size of the left margin depending
on the width of the whole control
<linkcolor:rrggbb> - sets the color of links (the <a>-tag)
<linkcolorhl:rrggbb> - sets the highlighted color, when
the user moves the mouse over a link
<just:left/center/right> - sets the align of the following text
<rmargin:pixels> - sets the right margin for the text
<rmargin%:percent> - sets the size of the right margin depending
on the width of the whole control
<sbreak> - line break
<spush> - switches to a new style (like <font>)
<spop> - switches back to the last saved style (like </font>)
<tab:tab1,tab2,..> - sets the position of where tabulators should
be displayed if you have text like 'Apple \t Egg \t Chicken'
<tag:id> - inserts an invisible tag which can be used
for the scrollToTag(id) function (beside image-tags)

</pre>

#c = "hello"
is actually doing
player.chat = "hello"

Compatibility note:
When you use the command setcharprop then the first parameter
is handled differently: instead of changing 'player.chat' it
is changing 'chat', the chat text of the npc. So 'setcharprop #c,hello'
would be translated into
chat = "hello"
while 'setplayerprop #c,hello' is translated into
player.chat = "hello"
In the list above both possibilities are listed.
