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.
