CMD.TIMEWAIT

[zwzsg]

Anybody ever used it?

I'm trying to use CMD.TIMEWAIT (to build some missions) but it's like it does nothing.

[zwzsg]

Ok, it appears it works when I issue the command directly.

However, what I'm trying to do, is to read and set CMD.TIMEWAIT in Lua, and it's there that I am having some issues.

It seems the CMD.TIMEWAIT I issue are transformed into simple CMD.WAIT with parameters={0 , 3.5873240686715e-043} and with coded set to 32.

And when I issue CMD.TIMEWAIT command with Lua, they appear to be ignored.

Not entirely sure, but I recall something about TIMEWAIT / GATHERWAIT / DEATHWAIT being unsynced.

In other words, they would only work in LuaUI and not in a gadget, because their functionality is actually implemented in the UI side of Spring. (similar to the ctrl+move formation move, this also doesn't work from a gadget; I had to replicate the functionality in Lua to use it in my AI.)

So, are you trying to use it from LuaUI or from LuaRules / LuaGaia?

[zwzsg]

LuaRules. So I have to make my synced gadget to ask the unsynced part to issue that command? That's gonna be tricky since I'm trying to restore the whole queue at once.

[Tobi]

Then that explains it.

[zwzsg]

Thanks Tobi. I would never have guessed CMD.TIMEWAIT is unsynced and CMD.WAIT is synced.

I recoded TimeWait as a custom command, and now it works.

Code: Select all

function gadget:GetInfo()
	return {
		name = "Pseudo Orders",
		desc = "Transfer, synced TimeWait, ..",
		author = "zwzsg",
		date = "August, 4th, 2009",
		license = "Public domain",
		layer = 17,
		enabled = true
	}
end

I was doing it bad, better:

Anybody knows how to get the little clock that is normally used for CMD.TIMEWAIT to show as icon in the queue?
