Transcendence

I have been unable to find out what link does. It is not in the Xelerus list and all I have for it is (link ...). I've been looking to see if any existing mod uses it, but it doesn't seem very likely. Could someone solve this mystery?

(link ...) is a bit arcane. I am not sure I can come up with a correct description right now, since it has been some time since I looked at it. There is a post burried somewhere from george about it, somewhere in the rc threads I believe.

Basically what it does is take a string of tscript and transform it into something that is executable. Think of it as an eval, which doesn't actually evaluate the string, but returns something that can be evalled. I am not completely sure about it's use cases, but this might give you something to look at.

I have one function lying around where I use it, maybe it will give you a hint. It is a helper I wrote but never really used. You can see it here

Looks a little esoteric for my poor brain - I shall have to contemplate it for a while.

Thanks for pointing to that function though - at least I'll have a bit of example code to quote.
