Hi Marco,
re:

> didn’t provide any official documentation?
The primary method used to learn MOI scripting currently is by studying example scripts. Most functions in MOI use scripting to control the UI and logic flow and you can find them in the installation under the "commands" folder.
Also earlier versions of MOI were based off of a Windows scripting mechanism that needed the properties to be listed in a moi.idl file, so that was used as the main reference for creating that existing documentation.
I also will answer specific questions and try to make new examples.
> And how can I consider that user created documentation reliable, even if it is incomplete?
By studying other scripts that use it, testing it yourself and through trial and error.

Hi Michael, and thanks for your reply :)
re: “I also will answer specific questions and try to make new examples.”
Alright! Thanks for letting me know, that’s definitely something that could be very helpful for me in certain situations.
Reading your last sentence made me smile, and I say that sincerely and in a friendly way: “By studying other scripts that use it, testing it yourself and through trial and error.”
That’s honestly one of the most “zen” answers I’ve ever read, especially considering it comes from one developer to another

Hi Marco,
& truly one of the best ways to learn about a particular tool--however I fear those that lean heavily on AI loose out.
Another helpful API resource is the release notes that Michael puts out as there are often many tidbits about the API, particularly those that have been inspired by forum conversations.

If you're interested I did map out the entire API surface for MoI 5 over the xmas holidays and created comprehensive type definitions for all. I'm developing a script editor plugin which includes type checking and live execution, here's a quick preview:

More to come. If this is something that interests you, you can reach me via email at
turbo@code.tc (I don't want to hijack this thread for this project), would love to learn more about your use cases for scripting MoI.
(Though I wish I wasn't spending 60% of the time on this project fighting the ancient webkit version.)
