Hooks

Hooks are special methods in KAG Beta that are available to be defined in any script, and will run every time.

The list of hooks can be found at Base/Scripts/Interface/Hooks.txt.

Example

For example, let's say we wanted to show a welcome message to new players that joined. We'd create a mod named "welcome", add it to the gamemodes we want it in, and make a file called "welcome.as" that contained:

void onNewPlayerJoin( CRules@ this, CPlayer@ player ) {
    if (player !is null) {
       client_AddToChat("Welcome "+player.getUsername()+"!");
    }
}

onNewPlayerJoin is a Hook that is run whenever a new Player joins the server. This will send them a Chat message welcoming them.
