ToDo List for script bindings on the new server:

World Interaction

• Modify the map
  • Collision
  • Tile appearance
  • Overlays
  • Music
  • Game rules like PvP allowed/denied.
• Activate weather effects
• Query and set persistent global variables
• Spawn particle effects
• Global announcements

Being interaction

• Spawn beings
• Move beings
• Hurt beings
• Make beings perform different actions
• Remove beings
• Callback functions for events like
  • death
  • leave game
  • change map
  • getting hurt
• Get beings in area
• Apply/Remove status effects to beings
• Query and set being attributes
• GM Cheats

AI

• Command monsters
  • Override attack target selection
  • Override move target selection
  • Make the monster use combat abilities
  • Override spawn and death events

Idea: class ScriptedMonster is a derivate from class Monster. It replaces every member function of the monster class with a call to a LUA function. This LUA function can call the function from the base class. This would allow to selectively replace or complement any behavior of the monster. This requires:

• Access to all member variables and functions of class Monster (including protected variables)

General

• Set timers
• Querry external data sources (already possible with LUA interpreter?)
