Summary0002930: Some ACS functions as commands
DescriptionI would be glad to see some ACS functions in form of console commands. For example, PlayerHealth() or GetPlayerLives(). There is a workaround: puke/pukename command and writing scripts containing only this function. But still, writing a simple GetPlayerLives() script took me 2 hours because I am unexpirienced in wadding at all. So build-in functions would be great.

Sorry to break it to you, but Zandronum already has what you're looking for.
'https://wiki.zandronum.com/SetPlayerLivesLeft [^]'
'https://wiki.zandronum.com/GetPlayerLivesLeft [^]'

Player health already exists in the form of aprop_health, see:

So what? Can I actually write in server console "getplayerlivesleft 3" and it will display the third player's lives count?

Yeah pretty much. Use KEYCONF to define a pukeable-script that does it for you.

Here we are. I know it is possible to make myself, but I ask devs to make these built-in commands for Zandronum.

I don't see why Dev's would have to waste time on this when it's already VERY easy to accomplish.

I can even write it out here because that's how painfully easy it is.

in keyconf: alias getPlayerLives "puke 1000"
in ACS: script 1000 (void) net
{
 print(d:getplayerlivesleft(playernumber()));
}

I know, but still. If there was already a command, I wouldn't waste time figuring out how to make wads. Now I know how, but still, many others don't.
