In one scripting tutorial, I saw that Plystire mentioned the 11 possible variables to use with HUDMAKE. Where did he find these? They are not in the maual nor anywhere else on the internet according to the almighty google.

I see they are mentioned in the community guide, but how did the community discover them if the company doesn't give that info in the manual?

I ask because I'd like a definitive and complete reference to scripting, not just scripting samples....does such a thing exist?

Thanks.

Indeed, such a thing exists.

Here is the secret to my scripting knowledge:

Source Code


Find the source code download. Read through about 28,000+ lines of DBP code, find the sections pertinent to scripting and you can find out just about anything.


Good luck! (You're gonna need it)


P.S. I provide this information when I see that someone is interested about it. If intimate details are not necessary for someone to get what they want, then that information isn't given. I'm not trying to confuse or overbear anyone here.


The one and only,


Whosoever says, "Don't sweat the small stuff," is obviously not a programmer.

Thanks, Ply.
I am new to this FSPC, and have spent some time researching the coding aspect of it. Your posts are very helpful, and encouraging in the sense that it leads one to believe the software is not as limited as it may seem

I am also curious about variables. I see your tutorial on them, and from what I gather, they seem to be an implementation of version 1.09? I don't understand why they are not covered in the user manual. The only reason I'm curious, is because it makes me wonder what else has been left out of the manual that could otherwise make life easier. I just don't want to miss anything

If there were such a thing as Free Will, I'd be exercising right now.
