Function Documentation

defaultEventCallback()

void Game2Script::defaultEventCallback	(	int	trigger_type,
		string	inst,
		string	box,
		int	nodeid
	)

OBSOLETE, ONLY WORKS WITH TERRAIN SCRIPTS - Use eventCallbackEx() with event SE_EVENTBOX_ENTER instead, it does the same job and works with any script.

Optional; Invoked when a vehicle touches an eventbox which has no custom handler function. This is a legacy feature which pre-dates generic events SE_EVENTBOX_ENTER and SE_EVENTBOX_EXIT and bundled objects like truckshop/spawners still rely on it.

Parameters

trigger_type	Unused, always 0.
inst	Unique ID of the terrain object instance which created the eventbox.
box	Name of the eventbox as defined by the terrain object's ODEF file.
nodeid	Number of the node which triggered the event, or -1 if not known.

eventCallback()

void Game2Script::eventCallback	(	Script2Game::scriptEvents	event,
		int	param
	)

Optional; Invoked if a registered event is triggered, see GameScriptClass::registerForEvent().

Parameters

event	Event code.
param	Event-specific parameter, see docs for the event codes.

eventCallbackEx()

void Game2Script::eventCallbackEx	(	Script2Game::scriptEvents	event,
		int	arg1,
		int	arg2ex,
		int	arg3ex,
		int	arg4ex,
		string	arg5ex,
		string	arg6ex,
		string	arg7ex,
		string	arg8ex
	)

Optional; if present, will be used instead of Game2Script::eventCallback().

Invoked if a registered event is triggered, see GameScriptClass::registerForEvent(). The first argument is the same as eventCallback() gets, other are extras, see descriptions at Script2Game::scriptEvents.

Parameters

event

Event code.

frameStep()

void Game2Script::frameStep

(

float

dt

)

Optional; Script update function - invoked once every rendered frame.

Parameters

dt	Elapsed time (delta time) in seconds.

main()

void Game2Script::main

(

)

Required; Script setup function - invoked once when script is loaded.

If not present, the game will report error and abandon the script.
