Scripting Repository? (idea)

[Tethys]

Is there any repository available for scripting descriptions and definitions about the types of commands, clauses, and variables allowed, and how they can be setup in the script? I will try to explain. As I look at the scripts I notice that many things have extended commands, for example

Code: [Select]

pSensors.GetProperty().SetDisabledPercentage(pSensorOff*4) has the pSensor which is the subsystem associated with the properties you wish to grab, .GetProperty() is kinda obvious yeah, this grabs some property for the sensors and .Set*(pSensorOff*4) sets the disabled percentage to a calculated static or dynamic value (pSensorOff) multiplied by 4. I have had success changing some of the commands around, such as .SetCondition or .SetNormalPowerPerSecond but I know that the commands throughout all the scripts are not all the commands that BC can use. Alot of commands I can find in the ships hardpoint, and alot of those .Set* can be interchanged with the .Get* command in a script/mod to grab that property for use later on in the def (or file if the value is setup as a global). Stuff like this should have been done in the earlier life of BC, but even so now I feel it could be a valuable resource to help new scripters educate themselves on what can and can't be done with BC scripts. I know some of you here know alot more than I do, so this would more be a community driven effort, basically a "pick our brain" thing except the brain would be the topic with relevant info. I hope I explained that well enough, hopefully some of you are interested.

There are 2 repositories:
1. It's called App.py
2. print command in BC console on an object to get its properties (bit of console programming required though)

Aside from that, there is none.

Yeah I thought App may hold quite a bit of info and it did. As for the print command I did not know about that one. Is it related to the print "text" I see randomly throughout the scripts?

Is it related to the print "text" I see randomly throughout the scripts?

No. Print text we used is for debug purposes. I'm talking about dumping object information to console.

For example:

Code: [Select]

import math
print(math.__dict__.keys())

Results in the following output:

Code: [Select]

dict_keys(['__name__', '__doc__', '__package__', '__loader__', '__spec__', 'acos', 'acosh', 'asin', 'asinh', 'atan', 'atan2', 'atanh', 'ceil', 'copysign', 'cos', 'cosh', 'degrees', 'erf', 'erfc', 'exp', 'expm1', 'fabs', 'factorial', 'floor', 'fmod', 'frexp', 'fsum', 'gamma', 'gcd', 'hypot', 'isclose', 'isfinite', 'isinf', 'isnan', 'ldexp', 'lgamma', 'log', 'log1p', 'log10', 'log2', 'modf', 'pow', 'radians', 'remainder', 'sin', 'sinh', 'sqrt', 'tan', 'tanh', 'trunc', 'pi', 'e', 'tau', 'inf', 'nan'])

Or more cleaner approach which you can find anywhere (for python related materials):

Code: [Select]

def dump(o):
    for a in dir(o):
        if hasattr(o, a):
            print("object method: " + str(a)+ " attribute: " + str(getattr(o, a)))

import math
dump(math)

Results in the following output:
