Thread: Scripting

Ok i am writing a scripting language for my game engine and was wondering the extent on what a scripting language is supposed to allow the scripter to do in terms of stuff like loading a level, creating objects, placing objects, interfacing classes that need scripted flexability like AI, ect.

Whould this be an appropriate description of some one scripting a particular level.

-load level with file name
-create all the objects
-place all objects
-add level specific logic
-ect

and of couse other things would already be scripted like AI and absolute game logic befor this example would take place

thanks for the input

Adding to what Salem said: Don't make it to complex. It is a scripting language after all. If you impliment so many features in the scripting language, you may find it to be a bottlneck, or even require that your scripts actually compile into some sort of byte code (ala Java) and run it on a virtual machine.
