-
does someone saw full list of (at least) tpt._ and sim._ comands? im not. seaching commands in scripts is time wasting, but i dont found any list. can anyone give me, if its real?

ok, thanks all.

oh, i got two another questions: how to set delay (waiting) betwen executing comands and how to make graphics.__ drawing always?

It's hard to give an example from my phone, but look into tpt.register_step
This registers a function that runs every frame.
As for delays, you can use the step function too and check the time. Use os.time() to check time in seconds, or socket.gettime() for milliseconds. -
nah, im made the function as an element (on android :O), but its anyway drawing only when simulation is freezing (ex.console or settings)...

You can't draw graphics inside of update functions (not graphics functions either). The fact that it shows up sometimes is a really minor issue on Android that will be fixed if I ever convert all the interfaces to the new style.
You need to draw graphics inside of step functions, I think that is the only place they work. You might want to store a list of particles that will need custom graphics drawn on them, then draw all that in the update function and clear the list. -
i dont understand nothing. inside of step? but how i will run it, if i want drawing relatively to elements? also the mod, where i copied pieces of elements code (star wars) drawing lines (tpt.drawline) inside a graphics function

Where is the script you copied from? How old is it? Many years ago you could draw stuff inside of update and graphics functions. It's possibly even a bug that you can't anymore (at least for graphics functions), but I haven't looked into how stuff would need to be reordered to make it work.
Anyway, look at this script for an example of what I mean (only the very beginning):
https://starcatcher.us/scripts/?view=44
In the update function it adds to a table of all particles that need special graphics drawn for them. It has a step function registered with tpt.register_step() that does the actual drawing.
Some relevant parts are:local crabs = {}
function seeker(i, x, y, s, n)
...
table.insert(crabs, i)
...
end
tpt.element_func(seeker,HeadCrab)
function draw()
for i,v in ipairs(crabs) do
...
end
if tpt.set_pause() == 0 then
crabs = {}
end
end
