[Feature Request] Scripting: Get/SetLocalStruct #986

Closed Christian-Vassallo closed 4 years ago

Christian-Vassallo commented 4 years ago

Hello everybody,

what do you think about SetLocalStruct / GetLocalStruct / DeleteLocalStruct function?

Do you think that would be possible to have them?

Chimerik commented 4 years ago

What would the use case be?

Personnally, I would use the new sqlite functions added to the core game in .14 in order to store and create struct like data.

Daztek commented 4 years ago

Not possible I'm afraid, afaik. Your best bet is writing your own wrappers that use the other Get/SetLocalXXX functions. Or as Chimerik says, use the new sqlite functionality coming in 8193.14.

@Christian-Vassallo Consider that NWNX can expose additional functions to nwscript, but it does not extend the nwscript language itself. With that in mind, try to think of how a function like you are requesting would look like? It is simply not possible to write such a function in a way nwscript can consume it. The only way to do it would be to extend the language, such as through nwnsc compiler, but then you would no longer be able to compile those scripts in the toolset.

I do mean this, honestly. It is really a good learning experience to think about exactly what it would look like and why it is simply not possible.

(closing since it really is not possible)
