This script will make it easy for you to find useful, ready-made custom functions hidden away in the dozens of Obsidian/Bioware �include� files that come with the game.
This file has been invaluable to me. It has saved me countless hours of scripting, allowed me to do things I would not have been able to do otherwise and gave me great ideas for my own custom functions.
------------
INSTRUCTIONS
- Save the �#EC_super_include.nss� file to your mod directory.
- In the Toolset, open the script and show Script Assist. You will then see hundreds of custom functions appear in the list. This may take a few seconds. (You may have to flip between Script Assist�s Functions/Globals tabs a couple of times to get the list to show.)
- When you find a function that sounds interesting, right click it and select �Go to definition�. This will take you to the actual library that defines the function.
- When you want to include one of these functions in your script, just #include the library in your script as usual.
------------
HOW IT WORKS:
- This �script� simply references all known function libraries that come with the game.
- Use it as a reference only, and not as a template for actual scripts.
- You will get an error if you try to compile it. You can disregard it.

Very Helpful. Perhaps another interesting addition would be to somehow index the functions so we know which #include is needed for a given function.
Thanks for the script, it is great. _________________________ The Wizard's Apprentice - A single player adventure for spellcasters guaranteed to rumple your robes and warp your wand!

A very useful and valuable resource for both scripting newbies as for us more experienced scripters. Thanks for putting it together. _________________________ ZORK - Rediscovering the Great Underground Empire

Edzio: yes I posted it in the forums a while ago. AFAIK, I got all the includes. If you notice an omission, just let me know and I'll add it. _________________________ E.C.Patterson Gaming Parents Studios

I heard about this super include in the bioware forums - just a question - to youe knowledge are there any includes not in the list? _________________________ It is better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Knightmare, Dragonsbane: Thanks. Hope you'll find this as useful as it has been for me.
ShaDoOow: I'm afraid I don't see what you mean. This is meant as a reference only and is not intended to form part of any working script as is. All functions defined in these libraries will appear in Script Assist for searching and browsing, and that is the "script"'s sole purpose. _________________________ E.C.Patterson Gaming Parents Studios
