Setting resources storage value (probably trivial)

[aash29]

Greetings,
I want to manually set metal and energy storage values at the beginning of the game using SetTeamResource. My question is, when and where should I call it?

Code: Select all

function gadget:GetInfo()
  return {
    name      = "setStorage",
    desc      = "2",
    author    = "3",
    date      = "4",
    license   = "5",
    layer     = 0,
    enabled   = true  --  loaded by default?
  }
end

function gadget:Initialize()
Spring.SetTeamResource(0,"es",1000)
Spring.SetTeamResource(0,"ms",1000)
end

I tried putting it in a gadget and using Initialize() callout, but that resulted in eeror message - namely "attempt to call "SetTeamResource" field - a nil value"

Thanks in advance

No need for lua:

- The TDF tags MetalStorage and EnergyStorage now override the StartMetal and
StartEnergy specified in the startscript, instead of the other way round. If
MetalStorage or EnergyStorage isn't specified the default values for commander
units are StartMetal and StartEnergy. For other units the default remains 0.

Just put Metal/Energystorage=1000; in your commander unit's FBI file.

If you do want to make the lua method work, make sure
that you only use synced call-outs in the synced part of
scripts. Add this immediately following your GetInfo():

Code: Select all

if (not gadgetHandler:IsSyncedCode()) then
  return false  --  quietly kill the gadget
end

thanks both of you guys,

I tried this method but I got 1001k of storage

It works, yay!

Just put Metal/Energystorage=999; in your commander unit's FBI file then.

By 1001k I meant 1 million and 1 thousand of storage.

Then you're doing it very very wrong.

Evolution and Gundam are doing it and it works just fine.

Ok, I`ll look into them then

Don't take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure the starting resources are added to your maximum storage at start.
