Game End triggers? NEW Question!

[bobthedinosaur]

When will the end game triggers (lua wise) be redone and what will they look like?

why in Game & Module Development Tutorials & Resources?

I believe this pertains to mods/ and tutorials for modding, even though it may be in lua.

How would you set up this:

will declare game over, a list of winning allyteams can be passed, if undecided ( like when dropped from the host ) it should be empty ( no winner ), in the case of a draw with multiple winners, all should be listed

Or has none of this been decided yet?

but isnt this subforum the archive?

anyway, use like this:

Code: Select all

table.insert (winners, 0) --add team 0 to winners list
table.insert (winners, 2) --add team 2 to winners list
Spring.GameOver (winners) --now the game ends and team 0+2 have won

Or say you where you have a neutral flag in the middle of the map and players can capture it. And whoever controlls it after 5 minutes wins.
Then you could do:

Code: Select all

gadget:GameFrame (frame)
if (frame == 5*60*30) then
  winner = Spring.GetUnitTeam (unitID_of_Flag)
  Spring.GameOver (winner)
end

It says New in version 0.83.x so it is probally some months away.

Lack of any construction-able units would be a factor I think

why is this thread still in "Game & Module Development Tutorials & Resources"? Its not a tutorial & not a resource of any kind.
