Introduction

The System inside the game engine is a tree of parameters and signals, giving an inside look into values directly from inside the engine. More generic information on the System can be found here; this articles explains the Onyx interface to using the system from within Onyx scripts.

Functions

These functions are defined to interact with the system from inside Onyx:

• int GetSystemInt(stringdata s) - returns an integer value.
  
• float GetSystemFloat(stringdata s) - returns a floating point value. I.e. float fps=GetSystemFloat("manager.fps") will get you the framerate.
  
• void SetSystemInt(stringdata s,int n) - sets an integer parameter. Note that only parameters can be set; signals are read-only.
  
• void SetSystemFloat(stringdata s,float f) - sets a floating point parameter.
