Script language

The HS language itself: the special forms that sequence and branch scripts, the arithmetic and comparison operators, the sleep family, casts between object types, and printing. Everything else in the table is the engine API these forms call into.

Read from the function table in the shipped simulation DLL. A name is compiled out when every one of its slots points at the release build's shared stub evaluator; the console still accepts it and returns nothing. Descriptions are hand-written and incomplete; the engine's own help text does not survive in this build. See The Blam console for how the table was found and how the mod runs these.
