Lua Script

Post by gm1530 »

Hi,

The image is a piece of my scenario (attached)

Image

I would like to create two scripts: one for the red line and another for black line. The idea behind black line is a sort of mission. I've tried to create a script, but it doesn't run. The summary: an UNIT (i.e. Phalanx) move from POINT A to POINT B, when UNIT arrive to POINT B, the PLAYER or NATION gets 2000 gold and a line in chat with ''Mission Complete''. This script is ''high-potential'', especially for tutorial.sav.

Code: Select all

function has_unit_type_name(unit, utype_name)
  return (unit.utype.id == find.unit_type(utype_name).id)
end

function unit_moved_callback(unit, src_tile, dst_tile)
     local beta = find.tile(178,192)
     local owner = find.player(0)
     local type = find.unit_type('Phalanx')
	 if unit.owner:is_human() then
         if unit_type == type then
		     if dst_tile.tile == beta then
			 change_gold(owner, 2000)
             notify.player(unit.owner, [[Mission complete!]])
		     end
         end
     end
end

signal.connect('unit_moved', 'unit_moved_callback')
The second script, red line... eh, I haven't any idea about the structure. The idea is: fixate an easy target (enemy) like conquer a city. In example: I play with French, I would like to fixate as target (for English) to conquer my city (Wimereux) or move their troops close a specific coordinate (on the other side of English Channel).

Details greatbritainv2.5.sav.gz:
  • 6 nations (English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, French and Manx)
  • map size 350x350 (122'500 tiles)
  • 58 cities (English)
  • 20 cities (Scottish)
  • 15 cities (Manx)
  • 13 cities (Irish)
  • 11 cities (French)
  • 07 cities (Welsh)
  • 124 cities total

if unit.owner:is_human() then
if unit_type == type then
if dst_tile.tile == beta then
Does this work?
if unit.owner:is_human() then
if has_unit_type_name(unit,'Phalanx') then
if dst_tile.id == beta.id then

Yes! Thank you very much :)

I would like to reward only the units from a specific city. Now the script rewards every unit. I have to insert ''src_tile'' parameter in the script to define the city, but I don't know how to do.

Code: Select all

function unit_moved_callback(unit, src_tile, dst_tile)
     local origin = find.tile(321,336) --Wissant (France) ORIGIN CITY
     local beta = find.tile(326,333) --Calais (France) DESTINATION CITY
     local owner = find.player(0)
	if unit.owner:is_human() then
		if has_unit_type_name(unit,'Warriors') then
			if src_tile.id == origin.id and dst_tile.id == beta.id then --INSERT SCR_TILE PARAMETER
				change_gold(owner, 500)
				notify.player(unit.owner, [[Mission complete!]])
			end
		end
	end
end
It doesn't run.

Did you try unit:get_homecity() ?

Yes, it works!

There is a lua function: edit.create_road(tile, name). Now, I would like to create a road from POINT A to POINT B. My attempt:

Code: Select all

function distance_between(x1, y1, x2, y2)
	 local hdist = math.abs(x1 - x2)
	 local vdist = math.abs(y1 - y2)
	 return math.max(hdist, vdist + math.floor(hdist / 2))
end

local ATTEMPT = print(distance_between(10, 20, 10, 70):sq_distance
edit.create_road(ATTEMPT, 'Road')
Under ''Type Tile'' I've found: (Tile):sq_distance, but I don't know how to do. Maybe it's the correct parameter.

Is there any possibility to load an image with lua script in notify module? I've searched on the code about ''message'' parameter in notify and I've found: const char *message. This constant is connected (I think) to send_chat. Now.. Is there any possibility to add at ''send_chat'' a markup language for bold, italic, underline, image, ecc.? I've read http://gna.org/patch/?3361, but I don't know if helptexts is connected to ''message'' in notify.

I'm not entirely sure if "featured text" is passed that way, but have you tested that text with markup doesn't work there already? There's no support for image but only text modifications such as bold, italic, underline, color, and making links to units, cities, or tiles - see "Chat tools" in gtk-clients (opened by clicking button next to chat-line)

Yes, there are text modifications in Chat tools, but these (tags ie. b, u, etc.) don't work in Lua script (notify module).
Script:

Code: Select all

function turn_callback(turn, year)
  if turn == 0 then
    notify.event(nil, nil, E.SCRIPT,
_("[b]Welcome to Freeciv[/b].  You lead a civilization.  Your\n\
task is [i]to conquer the world[/i]!  You should start by\n\
exploring the [u]land around you with your explorer[/u],\n\
and using your settlers to find a good place to build\n\
a city. Use the number pad to move units around."))
  end
end
signal.connect('turn_started', 'turn_callback')
Output:
notify.png

Actually, it's the popup where they don't work. They're parsed, as you can see from the fact that tags are not displayed literally, but only the chat window has ability to show them.
