LUA commands that are specific for Fortress Forever. This list is incomplete and will be replaced eventually, and everything put into categories.

Global Functions

Global functions are not confined to any object type. They can be called alone, from just about anywhere in the script.

Example:

local player = CastToPlayer( player_entity )
AddHudTimer(player, "timer", 300, -1, 0, 70, 4)

This global function is not a player function, though it takes a player object as a parameter.
