The "New Scripters Start Here FAQ" is great, but I wish the wiki included also had a list of all the commands along with the parameters passed. When working in a language, it's handy to have such a reference without having to open each function call page.

I believe there is a list in that area...at least there was last time I checked.

There's also a list at http://www.lslwiki.net

I'm not seeing it. The only one there is just a list of the functions. The parameters aren't listed on the function list page.

The great thing about wikis is that if what is there is wrong or can be improved you can just go ahead and do it.

If you're using the in-world editor, just hover your mouse pointer ofver the library call, event or constant and it'll pop up a tooltip with all its parameters and a brif explanation.

So far as a reference list, I'm not aware of one in the format you're looking for.

last time I looked at LSLWiki.. it was not very easy to navigate...

is there any easy-to-read compilations? or some kind of textbook like we used in uni? It's been years since I did any programming..

What I'm looking for is to be able to look up function calls quickly without having to explore 78 different calls that might do what I need.

It might not be as useful if the lsl writer had been a bit more consistent with functions.

For example, llSetLinkPrimitiveParams has no corresponding llGetLinkPrimitiveParams as the llSetPrimitiveParams call does. You have to *know* that to get the linked prim child position requires llGetLocalPos instead.

The whole language is filled with gotchas and tfbs. But then, so is the SL world itself.

I've been starting to build a list of my own of the commands. Here's the A's. Maybe I'll try to get it added to the wiki.

integer llAbs(integer val)
float llAcos(float val)
void llAddToLandBanList(key agent, float hours)
void llAddToLandPassList(key agent, float hours)
void llAdjustSoundVolume(float volume)
void llAllowInventoryDrop(integer add)
float llAngleBetween(rotation a, rotation b);
void llApplyImpulse(vector force, integer local)
void llApplyRotationalImpulse(vector force, integer local);
float llAsin(float val)
float llAtan2(float y, float x)
void llAttachToAvatar(integer attachment)
key llAvatarOnSitTarget()
rotation llAxes2Rot(vector fwd, vector left, vector up);
rotation llAxisAngle2Rot(vector axis, float angle);

what I'm looking for is a bit of a better explanation of what they do, and the syntax~ and not with each one on a different webpage.. the office internet is SOOOOO slow

Well, the page I'm doing is only up to the C's right now. Feel free to examine in.

Dunno if the wiki owner will even want it linked from the homepage.

It sounds like what you want is more of a lsl in a nutshell book.

I wouldn't get too worried about learning it though. I bet the whole language is gonna be replaced after Havoc is live.

Just completed the wiki page I'd been working on.

Just function name and parameters, with no other detail.

Didn't take quite as long as I had feared.
