To add a delay between actions, you can just insert new wait action. Therefore, WDE will not let you choose action SET_RUN if you select CLOSEST_CREATURE for a source! All actions have information about which source they support!Īnother new feature that WDE brings to smart_script is a new WAIT action. Do you know, what would happen if in traditional editor you had chosen target CLOSEST_CREATURE? The answer is: not what you would expect – this action will NOT change the target movement speed, it will always change script creature speed. Therefore, if you add a new action, you firstly have to pick the source of the action! After you select the source, a list of actions will pop up, what is important, you will see only actions that make sense with current source! Let’s take ACTION_SET_RUN as an example. WDE introduces the concept of a source of action – that is the object which will execute the action. Usually, in traditional editors, you add a new line, select an event type, then an action type and finally a target. WDE changes that – now each event can have multiple actions. Each event has exactly one action, but they can be linked. Traditional SAI is built upon event - action - target approach. Once you complete your scripting, you can just export the script to a SQL and send a pull request with a fix to your chosen open-source emulator repository 🙂 Smart Script redefined Just look at the screenshot above – without scrolling, without editing particular event/action you can see the script as a whole, it makes reading and writing is much easier. You even are not allowed to link events manually, because the editor does all this for you! It does not mean that you have limited options, on the contrary, it allows you to focus on what is important – writing the script. On the other hand, in WDE you never look at the column values, at the column numbers, at the line id. Sure, those editors help you choose parameter values, flags, but that’s not enough. That means, you still have to think very low level about the columns in the table, about the ids, about the links. Competing SAI editors are in fact just another “view” for the smart_scripts table. It looks completely different from other editors. The screenshot above shows a smart script opened in the WoW Database Editor. WDE redefines how a smart script editor can look like. Even though there are already a few SAI editors, they all are similar in the way they work.
The main feature of the WoW Database Editor (WDE) is smart_script editing. The editor is created to be modular, easily extensible, and simple to customize for any wow emulator. WoW Database Editor is a new database editor designed for all Trinit圜ore-based servers.
