GMG WikiManual
« on: April 13, 2008, 04:38:09 PM »
As the GMG Wiki Manual grows, I'll probably move all the 'Articles & Tutorials' to the wiki, and replace that link with the wiki link. That encourages the community to add to those articles, etc.

The Wiki Manual can be found at http://manual.gamemakersgarage.com/

I don't know how this is done, but what do you think of adding a section on the sidebar with links to GameMaker and SilverCreator pages, kind of like how the UESP site made a sidebar section where every game in the Elder Scrolls series is categorized?

I will try to help out in adding pages for GM commands and such when I have time after school.   8)

*Edit* Are variable related commands and general commands in separate lists?  I'm confused because the list seems to start with ALERT, but it should start with the ABS command.

Alert was just a sample item... not the first one.

Thankyou... but did you see the template on the main page.

Every command was supposed to have it's own page...

Sorry about that...I'm still a newbie with MediaWiki...

EDIT: Shortened descriptions on Command list and made links to new pages. So far, commands ABS through BEGIN APPLESCRIPT have content on their pages.

Thankyou...

But I was expecting more comprehensive documantation....

Please look at: http://manual.gamemakersgarage.com/index.php?title=Command_Documentation_Template

Press the "Edit" button, copy the code and replace the elements...

I did a few, it's pretty easy except for coming up with examples.  It's the first time I've ever edited a wiki.   :P

You don't need to come up with examples if you don't want to.

Just leave that section empty.
