Scripting

Overgrowth is using AngelScript as its core scripting language. The best AngelScript reference is here: [1]
Checking for Keypresses:
You can check for keypresses by using the boolean check function GetInputDown():
Syntax examples:
GetInputDown("a") | returns true if the 'a' key is being pressed, returns false if not |
GetInputDown("attack") | returns true if the left mouse button is being pressed, returns false if not |
GetInputDown("move_left") | returns true if the "left key" is being pressed, returns false if not (by default this key is defined in the config.txt to be the 'a' key) |
The following controls are designed to be relative to the player's preferences and are given a binding in the config.txt file.
Config.txt Dependent References
Predefined Term | Default binding in Config.txt | Scripting Reference Name |
---|---|---|
Left Key | a | move_left |
Right Key | d | move_right |
Up Key | w | move_up |
Down Key | s | move_down |
Crouch Key | left shift | crouch |
Jump Key | space | jump |
Generic Key References
Anything you see between quotes is a valid scripting reference tag. You are looking at the keyTranslator.h file which literally interprets scripting key calls and returns their SDLK counterparts.
