Can include() be used during game?

[aubergine]

I've got an API for diagnostics that I won't always want loaded. However, on occasion it might be useful to try and load it via a chat command (I've already made an API for managing chat commands).

Can include() be used during a game, or does it only work when the JS env is being initialised?

Here's what I want to do:

Code: Select all

var diagPaths = ["multiplay/skirmish", "multiplay/skirmish/api"];

diagPaths.some(function(path) {
	include(path+"/Diag.js");
	return (typeof Diag == "function"); // will not try any more paths if loaded
});

I think it should work. Only one way to know for sure...

woohoo, just added automatic loading of dependencies in my API

Any chance of an includePath() function?

I think he has viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10030#p111907 in mind (?)
