We use temporary variables instead of the form that returns an expression.
=== getarg ===
<pre>
    getarg(index)
</pre>
Return (by reference?) an argument of "callsub" or "callfunc". Aborts the script if used at toplevel of if out of range.
We use temporary variables instead.

=== copyarray ===
<pre>
    copyarray dest_var, src_var, count;

Copy elements of an array.
This function looks broken to me.

Line 87: Line 76:
     getarraysize variable;
     getarraysize variable;
</pre>

Get the size of an array.
Get the size of an array. Returns 1 even when empty.


The size of an array is simply one more than the index of the last nonzero integer or nonempty string.
The size of an array is simply one more than the index of the last nonzero integer or nonempty string.


WARNING: most functions that set an array do not bother to clear out high indices. You should almost always use an explicitly-provided size instead.

=== deletearray ===
<pre>
    deletearray variable[, count = 1];
</pre>
Remove count elements from an array.
If there are elements beyond count, they will be shifted into lower indices.
After that, all remaining elements will be set to 0 or "".
This function is currently broken, instead use cleararray variable, 0, count;


=== getelementofarray ===
=== getelementofarray ===
<pre>
<pre>
     getelementofarray(arrayname, index_expr)

This function is invoked internally by the arrayname[index_expr] syntax.
returns index_expr of that array.

Line 118: Line 95:


The only thing special about the if command is the lack of commas during parsing (from my reading this is only a warning?). During execution it is perfectly normal.

<metakey>Script Language, Code, Source, eAthena Script, AST</metakey> <metadesc>The Mana World Scripting Language Reference</metadesc>

TMWA's scripting wiki pages:

Legacy:Scripting Basics - Legacy:Scripting Standards - Legacy:Scripting Reference

For questions feel free to contact us on IRC and/or on our forum.

These are articles that require updating, moving to archive or deletion (see also Template:Delete).


This page is a reference for commands believed to work in the eAthena scripting language still used by tmwAthena.

Note: A number of problematic commands have been removed from this list, but not all commands have been tested.


Language Commands[edit]

These are command that are closely tied to the language itself.

goto[edit]

    goto L_1;

Unconditionally jump to a label. Often used in an "if" body.

callsub[edit]

    callsub S_labelname;

Jump to the given label. When the "return" statement is executed, continue on the next line.

It might also be possible to use this as a function, if the form of return with a value is used, but we use temporary variables instead.

callfunc[edit]

    callfunc "function_name";

Jump to the given function script. When the "return" statement is executed, continue on the next line of this script.

It might also be possible to use this as a function, if the form of return with a value is used, but we use temporary variables instead.

"return" is broken if this is used from within an if(). If you need a conditional callfunc, first goto a label.

return[edit]

    return;

Return from this script or sublabel to the calling function.

It is unknown what happens if this is used from the top-level script, use "close" or "end" instead.

set[edit]

    set variable, expression;

Very common command, to set variables.

setarray[edit]

    setarray arrayvariable, val1, val2, ...;

Set elements of an array. Previous elements are not cleared. At most 128 elements can be assigned.

It is currently possible, but deprecated, to specify a (zero-based) array index to start at the given part of an array. It's pretty amazing that that code works anyway.

Remember that there are no permanent arrays, only temporary.

cleararray[edit]

    cleararray variable, value, count;

Fill an array with "count" copies of "value".

getarraysize[edit]

    getarraysize variable;

Get the size of an array. Returns 1 even when empty.

The size of an array is simply one more than the index of the last nonzero integer or nonempty string.

WARNING: most functions that set an array do not bother to clear out high indices. You should almost always use an explicitly-provided size instead.

getelementofarray[edit]

    arrayname[index_expr]

returns index_expr of that array.

if[edit]

    if (condition) condition_command [conditional_command_args, ...];

If condition is zero, do nothing. Else, evaluate the conditional command.

The only thing special about the if command is the lack of commas during parsing (from my reading this is only a warning?). During execution it is perfectly normal.

Note: you must not use a callsub or callfunc as conditional_command.

end[edit]

    end;

Stop executing the script.

Don't use this if you have opened a dialog to the player, use "close" instead. Or, use "close2" and *then* "end".

debugmes[edit]

    debugmes "string"

Print a message to stdout.

Message Commands[edit]

These are commands for dialog or one-way chat with players.

mes[edit]

    mes "string";

Display a line of text to the player. If a dialog box is not already open for the attached NPC, one will be created.

It is unknown if the client properly supports dialog with multiple NPCs simultaneously. Note that the server only allows each account one paused script at a time, so it probably wouldn't work anyway.

If you need to include the " character inside the message, (especially for dialogs) insert it as \". When doing several messages without a next; in between, there should be only a single \" at the beginning and the end each.

Example: 

mes "[Me Myself]";
mes "";
mes "(I clear my throat)"
mes "";
mes "\"I start talking here, and don't close the quotation marks, because I'm not yet done talking.";
mes "And start a new line, but without new quotation marks.";
mes "Here I stop talking, so I close the quotation marks.\"";

gives: [Me Myself]

(I clear my throat)

"I start talking here, and don't close the quotation marks, because I'm not yet done talking.
And start a new line, but without new quotation marks.
Here I stop talking, so I close the quotation marks."

next[edit]

    next;

Stop the script until the user presses "Next" in the dialog.

close[edit]

    close;

Stop executing the script and give the user a "Close" button in the dialog.

close2[edit]

    close2;

Stop the script until the user presses the "Close" button in the dialog, then keep executing the script.

WARNING: unlike close, this command is a blocking command, the usual caveats apply.

menu[edit]

    menu
        "option 1", L_1,
        "option 2", L_2;

Display a list of choices to the player, then branch to the specified label.

Additionally, the temporary variable "@menu" is set to the 1-based index of the choice.

The options must not contain the character ":", as the protocol uses it as a separator.

input[edit]

    input variable_name;

Input an integer or string to the given variable, depending on whether has the '$' string postfix.

The implementation allows variable_name to be omitted if input is an integer, in case l14 is used. Don't use this.

announce[edit]

    announce "message", flag;

Do a GM message.

If flag & 0xF == 0 forward it to all map servers. If flag & 0x8, message is from the OID (NPC? usually?) rather than the RID (player).

If (flag & 0x7) == 1, send to all on map. If (flag & 0x7) == 2, send to all in line of sight. If (flag & 0x7) == 3, send to self only. If (flag & 0x7) == anything else, send to all clients.

mapannounce[edit]

    mapannounce "mapname", "message", flag;

Send an announcement to all players in map.

Only flag & 0x10 is interpreted, which does not work with the Mana client. So, flag must be 0.

message[edit]

    message "player", "message";

Display (in chat) a message from the server to a single user.

npctalk[edit]

    npctalk "message";

Make an NPC say something publicly.

Note: in many cases areaannounce is a better choice.

These have to do with attributes of the player.

setlook[edit]

    setlook type, value;

Timers and Events[edit]

These have to do with transfering control in ways that are not immediately obvious.

The most common ones are initnpctimer or startnpctimer, stopnpctimer, and setnpctimer.

donpcevent[edit]

    donpcevent "NpcName::Event";

Manually invoke an NPC event.

addtimer[edit]

    addtimer tick, "event";

Invoke an NPC event after a delay, for the attached NPC.

This command does the same thing as areatimer, but for only the attached player.

initnpctimer[edit]

    initnpctimer;

Set the NPC's attached timer to tick 0 and start it.

This is equivalent to setnpctimer, 0; startnpctimer;

stopnpctimer[edit]

    stopnpctimer;

Stop the NPC's attached timer.

This DOES NOT do anything about the tick. But that's okay, you should normally be starting it with initnpctimer.

startnpctimer[edit]

    startnpctimer;

Start the NPC's attached timer, without setting the tick.

setnpctimer[edit]

    setnpctimer tick;

Set the NPC's timer to a specific tick. Generally, this is only useful for tick 0.

getnpctimer[edit]

    getnpctimer(type)

Get the current tick of an NPC's timer.

type==0: timer event tick (like setnpctimer) type==1: bool if it has a next timer. type==2: timer amount

mobcount[edit]

Add a PC event timer to all players in the area.

After "tick" milliseconds, the given NPC event will fire with each player as the RID.

Unsorted Commands[edit]

These are commands that still need sorting, please edit this page, see talk page for category (and subcategory?) suggestions.

strnpcinfo[edit]

    strnpcinfo(number[, "npc"])

Returns the Y location of the current or specified npc.

monster[edit]

    monster "mapname", x, y, "string", class, count[, "event"];

areamonster[edit]

    areamonster "mapname", x0, y0, x1, y1, "string", class, count[, "event"];

Spawn monsters in an area. If you define an OnDead event using a trigger area then the event is shot only inside that area, hence the event is ignored when the monster is killed outside the trigger area.

killmonster[edit]

    killmonster "mapname", "event";

Deprecated[edit]

itemheal[edit]

This command has been merged into heal. The equivalent is : 

    heal Hp, Sp, true;

percentheal[edit]

This command has been completely removed. Please use inline math instead. For example to remove 30% hp you would do: 

    heal ((MaxHp/10) * -3), 0;
