The new CModel info is from a post Kaiser made on steam a long time ago, but I tried to rephrase the function descriptions to be a little clearer now that I've finally done some actual testing.

Posted by: Smoke39« on: December 27, 2017, 01:15:23 AM »I've discovered that values don't get loaded into GameVariables from save files unless their key had already been added to GameVariables (namely, in main.txt), so I added a note about it to the kDict reference.
While I was at it, I also finally got around to updating the kAI page with the unlisted flags that Behemoth clued me into a while ago.

I'll submit some github pull requests as soon as I get something worth showing. This guide is way too useful, its only fair to give back. lol Posted by: Jay Doomed« on: September 25, 2017, 12:20:41 PM »Good work Smoke nice to see more helpful info keep it up.

Posted by: Smoke39« on: June 23, 2017, 07:24:18 PM »Finally added an explanation of native classes (kex-prefixed), and how they work with internal script classes (k-prefixed) and user scripts (the stuff we can change): https://smoke39.github.io/turok/scripts.html#ControlStructure. It can be kinda confusing, so I hope I was able to make things a little clearer, rather than even more confusing.
Sometime I'd like to put together a proper reference on actor defs, with info on all the native classes. Currently you can kinda get a feel for what's delegated to the scripts by looking at the callbacks in ScriptObject, ScriptObjectPlayer, and ScriptObjectWeapon, but I think it'll help people develop an intuition seeing examples of the other side of that -- what's handled natively. |
