You can now call your global script functions directly from your rooms. This
means that if you have a common script that you want to use in response to
various different events during the game, you can call it from your room
scripts rather than duplicating code.
To use a global function, open up the main script header (GlobalScript.ash),
and add a line similar to the following:
import function my_function_name (parameters);
Where my_function_name is the name of the global script function, and
parameters is a list of the TYPES ONLY of the parameters it takes. For example,
if you had in your global script:
function do_animation (int anim_number) {
then you would write:
import function do_animation (int);
To use the function, you just call it normally in your script, eg:
do_animation (3);
You can also return a value to the caller by using the "return" statement,
and the local script picks this up the same way it does with built-in
functions. For example, the end of your global script function could be:
return 51;
then the local script just does:
int value = do_animation(3);
