Ichverbot:
Scope and ScriptObjects should handle that.

Take a look at this for more information:

I may as well dump a bit of info here now that Iban is gone:

Conditionals:
A little-known technique for doing quick if-checks

--- Code: ---(<condition> ? <if true> : <if false>)
examples:
%client.chatMessage("You have" SPC %client.clamCount SPC (%client.clamCount>1 ? "clams" : "clam"));
%blah=(%use==false ? true : %use); //if %use was "bananas" then %blah would be "bananas", but if %use was false then %blah would be true
--- End code ---

"Attaching" particle emitters to objects
This is for attaching emitters to objects when it cannot be accomplished by adding it onto a datablock, which, if you can, you should do instead. Lets start by adding the actual emitter object, we'll make it the fire A emitter:

--- Code: ---%emitter=new ParticleEmitterNode()
{
   dataBlock="GenericEmitterNode";
   position="0 0 0";
   emitter="burnEmitterA";
};
MissionCleanup.add(%emitter);
--- End code ---
This isn't going to be possible without entering the emitter into some kind of loop..

--- Code: ---%emitter.enterAttachLoop(%obj)
--- End code ---
now lets actually set up the loop method

--- Code: ---function ParticleEmitterNode::enterAttachLoop(%this,%obj)
{
   //this is working off the assumption that you wont enter the emitter in more than once
   //we make sure the object exists when we point to the object from the emitter
   //while also making sure that the currently attached object exists
   if(%this.attached!=%obj)
   %this.attached=%obj;
   if(!isObject(%this.attached))
   return;

   //setTransform moves the emitter to the position of the object
   %this.setTransform(%obj.position SPC "0 0 0 0");

   //this updates the emitters position, this is the part I'd imagine would be hard to find
   %this.inspectPostApply();

   //we repeat the function in 150 milliseconds, creating the loop
   %this.schedule(150,0,"enterAttachLoop",%obj);
}

But then why did Ichverbot post this if he's not Iban?
