Comprehensive function list?

Hey I just got Torque and got through the tutorial allright. I understand Torque script pretty well, it seems like a mix of C and Perl which I have experience in. My question is whether there is a list of function and object methods somewhere? I'm playing around and I want to try out different things but really have no idea what the function is called etc. ?
For example, I made a player gui that displayed a bitmap in the left corner of the screen(GuiBitmapCtrl i think) and i wanted in script to delete this at a certain time. Would it be DeleteGui("MyGui")? %mygui.destroy() ?
I basically just need a list of available functions.

You can check out details in all the C header files as well. I'm trying to download the latest version of Open Office on a dial-up link(!) at the moment. If I manage it, I hope to scrag all the header file info into one doc, export in PDF and wiki format (thanks Ben) and use it for myself as a reference. If I do it, I'll post it on the TDN and update this thread.Dave.

this should create scriptFunctions.txt and scriptClasses.txt in your TGE example folder.

Try writeOutFunctions() and writeOutClasses() in the console...this should create scriptFunctions.txt and scriptClasses.txt in your TGE example folder.

Hmmm, no comments to suggest what anything does, and everything in the classes file is written out twice per line. Still, nice to know those commands are there!

If you run in debug you'll get all the available comments for parameters & usage that's in the source.

*Note I am a complete Torque newbie away from my SDK so don't hate me if /? or list are already used in the console

How about dumpConsoleFunctions and dumpConsoleClasses gets aliased to "/?" or "list" or something in the console?*Note I am a complete Torque newbie away from my SDK so don't hate me if /? or list are already used in the console

Would it be useful for you to get several thousand lines of documentation dumped at you?
(I mean this seriously. If it is, then adding a helper function to this would be a good idea. :)

Actually, all console commands are the same as script, so the syntax would be a little different, but...Would it be useful for you to get several thousand lines of documentation dumped at you?

This is working good for me so far. :)

I found my solution, kind of. Using Codeweaver, formerly TorqueDev, I can view all the functions, variables, and object methods; a little drop down list appears when I type a period after an object, so I can browse the list.This is working good for me so far. :)

You can also hit F4 at any time to get a list of objects and functions. The new version also includes type-as-you-go autocomplete.
Check out the website at www.torquedev.com.
Also, take a look at this blog post of mine for a list of things you didn't know the software had support for ;)

Yeah I got the new version. Thanx a lot for the great tool, it sure helps a noob like me.

So typing List()/Help() would firstly give categories:
All
AI
Graphics
Math
Network
Resource Management
Scene Management
etc..
Then to actually get a list of objects and functions you have to type
List("Graphics") or Help("All")
It seems most are getting along fine without something like this though.

I see your point Ben. Maybe if you could break down the list into categories or something:So typing List()/Help() would firstly give categories:
All
AI

Resource Management
Scene Management
etc..
Then to actually get a list of objects and functions you have to type
