Plotscript Dictionary-Advanced Commands

Post by shakeyair »

Can we please get rid of this section and split its contents into the other sections? I understand (and even remember) how it was useful in the past, but whenever I am looking for a command that happens to be in there, say 'set hero picture,' I go through:

Hero Commands: oh yeah i bet its there that would make sense. nope...
Triggering and showing stuff: maybe that would make sense.. nope...
Advanced commands: Oh no I have been foiled again!

It just seems like a silly section that does more to hurt than help you find anything.

(of course: do a search for that command! well yea that works but not for people that don't remember the command or forget it easily and especially not for people who don't know the command yet in the first place)

I made an attempt at a skeleton for this, then gave up on actually DOING it for a bit, and then proceeded to forget all about it. But my ideas for categorizing, at least, might be a helpful thing to anyone interested in trying to start this:

My list is about halfway down the page.

Alas, while everyone agrees that it's a good idea, that dang xml file just keeps refusing to rearrange itself!

I have tried everything, even lighting candles, and praying :)

Are you guys slyly pointing out that someone needs to step up and make a better version to meet approval? Can't tell for sure, but it's my best guess.

HOW HARD CAN IT BE
