Commands: getPos vs. position !

[hardrock 1]

Bonjour fellas.

As I'm currently writing a new scripting reference for OFP which will have a complete list of commands, lots of additional information about the commands, a new, user-friendly layout and much more, I stumbled across the question wether to favor the getXXX commands or their equivalents without get.

That is:

getPos vs. position

getDir vs. direction

getDammage vs. damage

I just wanted to ask since I'll write down a description for one of the both and just refer to it in the other one, which will get new-comers to prefer one over the other.

So, please scripters, vote which version you personally prefer and maybe post a comment or another.

Thanks for your help!

I knew about damage & getdammage, but the others are new to me!

BOTH!

damage (one m! ), position and direction! is there anything else?

i hope the votes of the non-scripters get annuled.

I use the getXXX commands. Dunno why. I didn't even knew about position.

I didnt even know about direction,position, and dammage Lol, ive always used Getpos,Getdir,and getdammage. So mine being a bias veiw i say keep with the 'Get' commands!

i use the shorter one (damage, getpos, setpos, getdir)

I had no idea. I vote for the "gets" cause from what I've heard its more well known.

I prefer "get", because it naturally compliments the "set" commands, making them easier for me to remember.

getdammage -> setdammage (too bad about the spelling...)

getpos -> setpos

and so on. I get so used to this system, that I often try to use commands that don't exist! So I try to use commands like "getvelocity" (to compliment 'setvelocity'), "getcombatmode", and others. If it were up to me, I would have all commands fall into get/set pairs, whenever possible. It would make things much simpler, I think.

I'm curious about this project of yours though. Any more info about it? Or a demo? Or a release date?

i can tell you that his project is really worth to wait for it!

btw, you already can use damage/getDamage/setDamage, only the EH "dammaged" has not been fixed.

just use the commands w/o the get, it fits everywhere, you can't mix it up. you have it all in pairs

Really looking forward to it!

I'ld prefer the "get" variant 'cause I'm used to use this one a bit more and I see that'll "get" some returns...
