Server Scripting Functions

This page lists all the scripting functions that have been implemented and are available as native functions from the Deathmatch mod. To request a function or event, use Requested Functions and Events

Please note that the scripting functions can now be extended by loading in dynamic modules that provide new functionality, such as MySQL database access. These scripting functions are non-native and require the module to be loaded in order to work.

Head over to Module functions for a list of non-native functions and modules that are available.

Blip functions

	This article needs checking.
	Reason(s): CreateBlip has the wrong arguments set to optional. the color/transparencies can be defaulted, the location cannot. Also, there is no option for creating blips larger than others. perhaps an additional scale option? That would make the final markup for the function "blip createBlip ( x, y, z, [r, g, b, a, scale} )

blip createBlip ( r, g, b, a, [x, y, z] )

	This article needs checking.
	Reason(s): CreateBlipAttachedTo should have the r,g,b,a arguments optional. also required is a scale argument. EG: blip createBlipAttachedTo ( entity, [r, g, b, a, scale] )

blip createBlipAttachedTo ( entity, r, g, b, a )

bool destroyBlip ( blip )

bool destroyBlipAttachedTo ( entity )

float float float getBlipPosition ( blip )

float getBlipPositionX ( blip )

float getBlipPositionY ( blip )

float getBlipPositionZ ( blip )

blip getBlipAttachedTo ( entity )

	This article needs checking.
	Reason(s): Does setBlipPosition automatically detach a blip that has been attached to something?

bool setBlipPosition ( blip, x, y, z )

bool attachBlipToEntity ( blip, entity )

float getObjectRotationZ ( object )

bool setObjectName ( object, name )

bool setObjectModel ( object, model )

bool setObjectPosition ( object, x, y, z )

bool setObjectRotation ( object, x, y, z )

	This article needs checking.
	Reason(s): rx, ry, rz are not the final target rotation but the rotation to add to the current rotation.

bool moveObject ( object, time, x, y, z, rx, ry, rz )

	This article needs checking.

bool setPickupType ( pickup pickup, int type, int amount/weapon, [int ammo] )
