Common Script External Code

This is a list of the external code that is available inside all scripts - variables, functions, and classes that "magically" exist.

To see a list of external code that is available only in specific scripts, please see the corresponding page:

• Level Script External Code (hotspots share level script code)
• Character Script External Code

This list is pulled from the ~/Documents/Wolfire/Overgrowth/ directory, from the aschar_docs.h and aslevel_docs.h files, which are automatically generated by the game.

See this page to find the location for the Wolfire/Overgrowth folder on each OS - How to clear the game's cache

TODO: Finish documenting the rest of the classes, and lists of related global functions

TODO: It's possible some of these might not work in hotspot scripts. If you find that to be the case, please copy a function to level scripts/character scripts and remove it from here.

Global Variables

Camera camera;

CharacterScriptGetter character_getter;

ASContext context;  // The context for the currently running script, whether that is the menu script, level script, character script, or hotspot script

float last_controller_event_time;  // The time the last game controller input event occurred

float last_keyboard_event_time;  // The time the last keyboard input event occurred

float last_mouse_event_time;  // The time the last mouse input event occurred

Constants

Types in this section that specify the base type for the enum aren't actually exposed via enums. They are defined as const instances of the base type.

Functions that take those parameters will take the base type instead. E.g. _delete_on_draw is actually defined in your script as an "const int _delete_on_draw".
