To the more experienced coders out there: what kind of helpful shorthand is available, but not well known, in Quest scripting?

Can you give an example of what you mean? Do you mean things like using "object.parent = new_parent" rather than "MoveObject(object, new_parent)"?

I think Quest is already fairly non-redundant (except for those helper type functions). Given Alex only put on what was needed, there's not much "long" vs "short" ways to do things.

I suppose that would count, but I meant things more along the lines of shorthand if/else in Javascript. If there really aren't many shortcuts to get things done, well, that's a shame, but nothing can be done about it, I suppose.
