OOP Commands

[O Ilusionista]

SJ, I got your point, but I think it has some fails on it. Let me explain:

Well, as it stands now the grapple/throw system is seriously outdated. in most cases, the advice given is to bypass THROW entirely.

Its not outdated. It works perfectly for what is was planned for. If you need a simple back throw, I won't waste my time scrippting it, unless I want something specific.

Use GRABBACKWARD and a GRAB/THROW SCRIPT that as of now, still has innumerable "How do I use this?" posts here in the forum.

This is easy to answer: because people are lazy and refuse to learn how to do a search. Check the help section, and see how much questions can be answered by a simple cut and past from the manual.

To not read the manual of something is the plague of the modern times.

Not everyone here comes on with the intent to make beat em ups. Bloodbane and Pierwolf have made side scrolling platformer action shooters, and NickyP even made a tower defense and top down zelda style mod.

And this is the main reason scripts were born.

. Granted, the "you can just do it with script" argument is definitely valid, but when there is a thread here whose sole purpose is trying to figure out how to use script to simply make ducking and attacking function properly... How much is too much?

You are mixing things here. Its not "simply ducking attacking", because it already works. You wanted to make a custom routine which modifies the default behaviour. I agree with you when it comes to the default behaviour of DUCK attack, but not when it comes to the script itself.

Also how many people have downloaded CRIME BUSTER simply to grab the initial script for throwing? It's in everything now. How long should something be an unofficial official standard before it or something similar is inducted into the hall of new basic functions?

How many people are using DC's spawn001 function? Its in almost EVERY mod. Should this be incorporate into the core code as a basic function? My answer is...NO. Its good to have different ways to do the same thing, because in some cases the very basic is just enough.

And people doesn't need to download Crime Buster anymore, since there are files with just the necessary scripts for download. Even more: there are cases where we want to customize the code of BB's code -personally, I did it a lot in my mods - so if its on the core script, it would be harder to do.

So, TL;DR, to make it short: yeah I would like to see the normal behaviour to be changed.
