| 20:10:25 |  Rampoina | Thanks, I don't know how to do that, https://springrts.com/wiki/LuaTutorials::InterCommunications#widgets.2C_gadgets_unsynced_-.3E_gadgets_synced, just says LuaMessages, I've grepped around the Zero-K codebase but I can't figure out how to pass the parameters |
| 20:10:52 | Rampoina | I thought that maybe I was thinking about it the wrong way |
| 20:11:28 | Rampoina | the whole gadget/widget unsynced synced is still a bit confusing |
| 20:11:41 |  TurBoss | :) |
| 20:13:31 | TurBoss | I'm checking for |
| 20:18:45 |  ivand | https://springrts.com/wiki/Lua_UnsyncedCtrl#SendLuaMessage |
| 20:21:56 |  Sprung | ^ |
| 20:22:07 | ivand | Spring.SendLuaRulesMsg("blablabla") on widget side
function gadget:RecvLuaMsg(msg, playerID) on gadget side |
| 20:22:37 | Sprung | if you enable cheats in ZK you get a menu which has something similar to what you describe |
| 20:22:53 | Sprung | but it uses a different approach: commands, not lua messages |
| 20:22:56 | ivand | EvoRTS has working example of SendLuaRulesMsg and gadget:RecvLuaMsg |
| 20:23:22 | ivand | yep, what Sprung said, commands are more elegant, but seem like overkill for your task maybe |
| 20:23:40 | TurBoss | https://github.com/TurBoss/JauriaRTS/blob/85f6c9b2eed3d072806eddada0a8ad783d91b9b3/LuaRules/Gadgets/GBS_createunit.lua |
| 20:23:56 | Sprung | commands are decent for inworld-targeted stuff |
| 20:25:16 | TurBoss | https://github.com/TurBoss/JauriaRTS/blob/85f6c9b2eed3d072806eddada0a8ad783d91b9b3/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_chili_creatunit.lua |
| 20:26:41 | Rampoina | ok that's very helpful TurBoss thank you |
| 20:27:02 | TurBoss | have fun |
| 20:37:31 | Rampoina | Sprung: where is that menu? |
| 21:13:34 | Sprung | enable cheats, it should be on the top bar |
| 21:25:18 | Rampoina | Sprung: oh yeah thanks |
| 21:25:55 | Rampoina | I wanted to create the unit in a building status
"if build is true the unit is created in "being built" state, with buildProgress = 0"
however if I do it like that it doesn't actually build
I assume this is because it needs a builder? |
| 21:26:56 | Rampoina | how do I make it build automatically? |
| 21:44:08 | Sprung | remember its ID it in some table |
| 21:44:26 | Sprung | then, in gadget:GameFrame periodically add some build progress |
| 21:46:54 | Rampoina | makes sense |
| 21:46:57 | Rampoina | thanks |
| 21:47:53 | Rampoina | also nice to meet you all, I'll be making a thousand questions I hope you don't mind me :P |
| 21:49:16 | Rampoina | but that's good enough for today |
| 21:49:23 | Rampoina | night |
| 21:51:40 | Sprung | night |
