Extended Iptscrae Scripting
This page documents new Iptscrae commands that are supported by PalaceChat and OpenPalace.
New Events
There are a few new hotspot events supported in OpenPalace and PalaceChat. Be warned, however, that if you use these events in your script, users of the antiquated "The Palace" (Palace32) client will be presented with an Iptscrae Error for those event handlers in the log.
ON HTTPERROR
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire when a download error occurs after a HTTPGET command is issued. The special variable ERRORMSG contains the error message.
ON HTTPRECIEVED
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire when a HTTPGET download has completed. Exclusive variables HEADERS, CONTENTS, FILENAME and TYPE are available for this event. HEADERS is the http recieved headers as a Hash element. FILENAME is the name of the file recieved. TYPE is the Content-Type recieved. CONTENTS is a Atomlist if TYPE = "text/iptscrae" but will be a string for all other content-type's.
Some received content will be processed internally right after this event occurs. Types being iptscrae,images, and html. To prevent this from occurring you can set CONTENTS to ""
ON IDLE
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will be fired when the user is idle for 10 minutes.
ON MOUSEDRAG
This event will fire continuously as the user clicks and drags on a hotspot.
ON MOUSEDOWN
This is the exact same as the ON SELECT event.
ON MOUSEMOVE
This event will be fired continuously as the user moves the mouse cursor over the hotspot's area.
ON MOUSEUP
This event will fire when a user clicks a hotspot after releasing their mouse button, if the mouse is still over the hotspot when the button is released.
ON NAMECHANGE
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire when any user changes their username. Variable WHOCHANGE contains the ID of the user who has changed there name, and variable LASTNAME contains the name they had previous to the change.
Example:
ON NAMECHANGE { LASTNAME " has changed his/her username to " & WHOCHANGE WHONAME & LOGMSG }
ON ROLLOVER
This event will be fired when the user's mouse cursor enters the hotspot's area.
Example:
ON ROLLOVER { 1 ME SETSPOTSTATELOCAL ; Make button glow }
ON ROLLOUT
This event will be fired when the user's mouse cursor leaves the hotspot's area.
Example:
ON ROLLOUT { 0 ME SETSPOTSTATELOCAL ; Make button return to normal }
ON ROOMLOAD
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire right before the room is rendered. It is useful for making local changes to whats displayed in the room in a seemless way.
ON ROOMREADY
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace or PalaceChat.
This event will be fired once all the images for the current room have been downloaded and processed. Any usage of the new ROOMWIDTH and ROOMHEIGHT commands should be in this event handler, as the actual room size is unknown until the background image has been processed.
Example:
ON ROOMREADY { "The room graphics have finished downloading." LOGMSG "This room is sized: " ROOMWIDTH ITOA & "x" & ROOMHEIGHT ITOA & "." & LOGMSG }
ON SERVERMSG
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.

ON USERENTER
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire when any user enters the room. Variable WHOENTER contains the ID of the user who has entered.
Example:
ON USERENTER { "Hello " WHOENTER WHONAME & SAY }
ON USERLEAVE
IMPORTANT: This event is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This event will fire when any user leaves the room. Variable WHOLEAVE contains the ID of the user who has left.
Example:

This event will fire when any user moves. Variable WHOMOVE contains the ID of the user who has moved.
Example:
ON USERMOVE { WHOMOVE WHOPOS y = x = x ITOA " " & y ITOA & LOGMSG }

HTTPGET
IMPORTANT: This command is not yet implemented in OpenPalace.
This command will download the passed url via HTTP protocol. If the recieved Content-Type is text/iptscrae or text/plain the downloaded contents will be executed as iptscrae (currently the only valid text encoding is utf-8). If the recieved Content-Type is text/html it will be rendered in a popup window. If the recieved Content-Type is image/* (meaning any image format) it will download and reload that image if its filename is present in the room. The filename can be set by using the Content-Disposition header (ie. Content-Disposition: inline; filename="test.png"). If the HTTPGET command was executed via the Cyborg the image recieved will be imported as an Prop. The headers that are sent from the client are: Accept-Charset, Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding, User-Agent, Origin, Userkey, Referer

Example:
SCORE GLOBAL 15 SPOTID = "Your score is: " SCORE ITOA & SPOTID SETSPOTNAMELOCAL
SHOWAVATARS

- Parameters:
- fileName: The name of the image file.
Example:
"cool.png" IMAGETOPROP
LOADPROPS
Allows you to pre-load props in the background. This is probably most useful for game developers. This is especially important on OpenPalace, because with a web-based client, there is no way to keep props cached from one session to the next, so they must be loaded from the server every time.
Important: You may only load up to 500 props at a time with this command. Attempting to load more will cause an Iptscrae error.
Example:
[ 48329285 394829 -195839523 ] LOADPROPS

Example:
;this example causes you to wear the last dropped loose prop. 0 LOOSEPROP propId = propId DONPROP
LOOSEPROPIDX
Pushes the index of the loose prop by prop id onto the stack. If there are two or more loose props with the same id the index of the first one is pushed.
Example:
;this example asumes a prop with the id of 60035 is already a loose prop. 60035 LOOSEPROPIDX index = index REMOVELOOSEPROP
LOOSEPROPPOS
Pushes the x and y cordinates of a loose prop by index onto the stack.
Example:
;this example logs the cordinates of the last dropped loose prop. 0 LOOSEPROPPOS y = x = x ITOA " " & y ITOA & LOGMSG
MOVELOOSEPROP
Sets the location of a looseprop by index. The looseprop will not update its position until the server responds to the query.
- Parameters:
- X: The position for the loose prop on the x axis.
- Y: The position for the loose prop on the y axis.
- Index: The index of the looseprop within the room.
Example:
;move the last dropped looseprop to your mouse position. MOUSEPOS 0 MOVELOOSEPROP
NBRLOOSEPROPS
Pushes the number of loose props onto the stack.
Example:
;this example logs the prop id's of all the loose props in the room. { i LOOSEPROP ITOA LOGMSG i++ }{ i NBRLOOSEPROPS <} WHILE
PROPDIMENSIONS
Pushes the width and height of a prop onto the stack.
Example:
;this example logs the width and height of a prop. 60035 PROPDIMENSIONS height = width = width ITOA "x" & height ITOA & LOGMSG
PROPOFFSETS
Pushes the x and y offset of a prop relative to how it would appear on a user onto the stack.
Example:
;this example places a loose prop at your mouse position based on ;how it would appear on a user. 60035 PROPOFFSETS offy = offx = MOUSEPOS y = x = 60035 x offx + y offy + ADDLOOSEPROP
