E2 List of codes in-game

[ROFLBURGER]

A little button when clicked shows a list of all the E2 commands from owner():setcolor to hint("[insert insulting text here]").
It would be better instead of pressing Shift+Tab multiple times until you get arthritis. This wire-addon would be great for wire beginners.

Although it has been sugested before, I would support a function list.

How about an automatic dump of the functions into a file that can be loaded by E2 on startup in a file like "_funclist.txt"

So like:
[highlight=E2]
abs(N)
rand()
rand(N)
rand(N,N)
randint(N,N,N)
owner()
entity()
applyForce()
etc....[/highlight]

EDIT: Also, could someone please update the function highlighting for E2 on the forms? It's really out of date.

Very smart shit

Thats an even better idea to my idea that someone probly thought of before me.

and then have #*description of function here* behind each one.

Just make a function in like HP's function here:

funclist = ""
for k, _ in pairs(wire_expression2_funclist) do
    funclist = funclist .. k .. " "
    print(k)
end
file.Write("_funclist.txt", funclist)

And put it in a lua file ran at startup.

:agree:

Write a script to regenerate the list on every SVN update, and automatically reupload it to the wiki, linked from the E2 guide page.

Maybe E2Doc could be incorporated. It's not on tones of functions, but it would be useful for the ones that do have it.

[nescalona]

E2Doc? Is that like Javadoc?

No, not really. It's an internal thing that Tommy Lobo wrote. Basicly it generates Wiki documentation from comments in the LUA code of the functions.

It seems to work like this:

--- Comment Goes Here <ImAVar> [http://www.ImALink.com] [[ImAWikiLink]]

So you could do like:

--- runs [[string.match]](<this>, <pattern>, <position>) and returns the sub-captures as an array.
e2function array string:match(string pattern, position)
    local ret = { string.match(this, pattern, position) }
    return ret
end

And it would generate:

S:match(S2,N) 	 R 	 runs string.match(S, S2, N) and returns the sub-captures as an array.

I got bored so i made some e2's containing all functions.

I hope that help a little bit.
