camera

3 camera commands, generated from the engine's own registry — signatures, parameters and a worked example each. A does something command acts on the game; a needs x() one answers a confident wrong answer when its client hooks are missing.

face does something returns bool

face(target: object) -> boolface(target: wall) -> boolface(target: npc) -> boolface(target: drop) -> bool

Turns the view until the client is drawing this, and returns whether it is. Returns immediately when it already was. Refuses without turning when the target is out of range rather than out of shot - turning cannot fix distance, and the trace says which of the two it was. Gives up after a full turn, or about three seconds; six at the very worst.

Parameter	Type	What it does
targetrequired	object	the object to turn toward

Example

let rock = nearestObject(name: "Iron rock", within: 12)
if rock != none and face(rock) { interact(rock, "Mine") }
let door = nearestWall(name: "Door", within: 6)
if door != none { face(door) }
let banker = nearestNpc(id: 95, within: 20)
if banker != none { face(banker) }
let loot = nearestDrop(name: "Coins", within: 8)
if loot != none { face(loot) }

rotateLeft does something

rotateLeft(millis: int)

Turns the view left by holding the left arrow key. Blocks for that long, and stops promptly when the script is stopped. Prefer face(target), which turns until the thing is actually drawn instead of for a guessed duration; this is the manual version.

Parameter	Type	What it does
millisrequired	int	how long to hold the key

Example

let banker = nearestNpc(id: 95, within: 20)
if banker != none and not banker.onScreen { rotateLeft(300) }

rotateRight does something

rotateRight(millis: int)

Turns the view right by holding the right arrow key. The mirror of rotateLeft; which one you want depends on where the target is, and a script that does not know should call face(target) instead.

Parameter	Type	What it does
millisrequired	int	how long to hold the key

Example

rotateRight(300)
