Community Portal/User Defined Functions
Revision as of 11:30, 31 July 2009 by imported>QQuix (Initial suggestion about user function article format)
OBSE v18, which is now in beta, adds user defined functions. The Wiki would be a perfect place to host a function library, similar to the Useful Code section. I haven't had much thought about this yet, so I'll leave this page open, but I thought we'd need a place to discuss.

- The first question that comes to my mind is: how to manage/organize the potentially many implementations of the same function, considering that article titles must be unique? All in the same page under a common, descriptive function name? Or in different pages and different names?
- Atm, it seems to me that the best alternative is to add new implementations to the same function page.
- I created the Min page mostly to materialize an initial page so we can discuss it and use it as a test page for possible solutions/suggestions/formats. It turned out as a good example as, although quite straightforward, this function may have multiple implementations.
- Another aspect is that this may be fine for obvious, simple function names (where a single description covers all implementations), but I guess pretty soon modders will get creative and devise function names that may be quite ambiguous. Should we just wait and see how things evolve? QQuix 11:30, 31 July 2009 (EDT)
