Universal World Owners Manual

Functions are defined in your script as shown in this example:

<codedoc> Function IsItemASword( $itemNum ) {

if ( $itemNum = 112 )		// Sword
{
	return( 1 )
}
else if ( $itemNum = 113 )	// Sword 2	
      {
	return( 1 )
}
return( 0 )

} </codedoc>

This example function would be called from another part of your script like this: <codedoc>

$isSword = IsItemASword( $gTaskItem1 )

</codedoc>

Functions can have any number of parameters, and always return a value.

You can add your own custom events, and then trigger them from a command. (And hence, you can trigger custom events from within other events). When you trigger a custom event in your script, the new event is executed immediately and the main event waits until it completes or when the new event sleeps.

A custom event is defined as shown:

<codedoc>

 Event( "Custom", "YourCustomEventName" )
 {
    *say My Custom Event has been triggered for %PLAYER%
 }

</codedoc>

This custom event can be triggered using the command *event or *eventallonline (*eao for short). e.g. <codedoc>

• event Bob YourCustomEventName

</codedoc> would display My Custom Event has been triggered for Bob.
