Proposal: Condition 'script [%text%] is loaded'

[TheBentoBox]

The syntax would be something like script [%text%] is loaded. The text can be provided optionally to give the name of a specific script to check its load state, but it will otherwise default to the script the condition is in. This allows for scripts to easily do stuff conditionally based on if another script is currently active, or to do loaded-based loops, e.g.

on script load:
    while script is loaded:
        <code>

Currently, a while loop like this would continue uncontrollably even after unloading unless you use a variable of some variety to track the script's load status (which, granted, is not at all hard, but this looks nicer).

I know it's not how it's done in an actual programming language, but for Skript couldn't you just have the script dependencies in the same file? So if you need to depend on a function for the main script to function, you have it in the same file so that it's always available.

Of course you can have all your scripts in one big file, but shall I wait 16 minutes for that script to load?

It's known that splitting scripts into different files makes the script loading faster.

Okay, well I figured it was a better solution if you just needed to depend on a couple functions, but if you need to depend on an entire script file then yes this would be very nice to have. I never suggested you put everything into 1 file.

I just fixed the bug that caused function calls before function definitions not to work.

Anyways, good idea.

Wouldn't it be easier to have the syntax

[script] %text% is loaded

as that still allows you to do

script is loaded

PR is done, it uses these syntaxes:
script[s] [%-strings%] (is|are) loaded, script[s] [%-strings%] (isn't|is not|aren't|are not) loaded
