Spring RTS Engine

Hey! just some question on SetUnitStealth and .fbi vs .lua.

I understand that the following can be use to set stealth true/false in a unit.
Spring.SetUnitSonarStealth
( number unitID, boolean sonarStealth ) -> nil

Is it able to be use with a unitdef that is written in .fbi?

If I would like to convert .fbi to .lua how should I go about it?
Is there a wiki or guide on this?
What are the main difference of .fbi and .lua?

Thanks!

Yes it can as it is an engine function that doesn't care what language your unitdefs or scripts are written in.

Looking at existing Lua scripts from ZK or Gundam or etc will help you a lot with familiarizing, I'd start there.

BA recently made the jump to lua. maybe open a side by side of a 7.20 and a 7.31 unit.

Isn't there an fbi > lua conversion script around somewhere?

stealth = true, (lua unitdef)
stealth = 1; (fbi unitdef)

Hey! my unitdef are in .fbi

I created a gadget, to turn on/off stealth.

Part of the code as following:
When i run in it the game,
The line,Spring.Echo(ud.stealth) will still print out false, after the line, Spring.SetUnitStealth(unitID,true) is run.
Did I use Spring.SetUnitStealth wrongly?

unitDef ~= unit

Want you want is the GetUnitStealth() function, which does not exist.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm sorry I totally misunderstood. You were wanting something so that stealth could be turned on and off. Well you can still do that using radarjamming. It's not as elegant as a stealth on/off switch, but what would be the advantage of having stealth be off?

I would imagine some other game mechanic would be tied to the state (for example increased power consumption or slower movement when stealth is turned on... similar to cloaking)

radarjamming?
Hmm...how should I look into it?

we use set stealth on/off using on/off button (activation):

function script.Activate()
Spring.SetUnitStealth(unitID, false)
end

function script.Deactivate()
Spring.SetUnitStealth(unitID, true)
end
