Wow thanks

I learned a lot from http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=398177770
I'm sure there are many more functions and commands, Where do I get the list of all functions of game guru?

just above in the sticky

Thank you,
I saw it, but there's only the new functions there up to 1.009. I'm sure there are many old and new functions that can be used, or am I mistaken?

nope that looks like all of them, you can look in global.lua for the complete list of usable functions and variables (minus the AI stuff), more stuff will get opened up in future but for now we just work with what we have.
note; some commands will cause unexpected side effects too (SetAmbianceIntensity() for example)

Heres a great starting point as well ..
