Widget - Show Build

[jamerlan]

Hi to all!

There is a widget called "Show Build". I love it and I think it's very useful.

I uploaded it to github. Feel free to download it and install..

If someone have a free time and lua knowledge - feel free to improve this widget. Bluestone made code review and there are he's comments how this widget could be improved.

If you want to take a look: picture how it works.

P.S. thx to WarXperiment for widget!
P.P.S. Widget was updated for spring 98 engine

[Broker]

you corrected it?

function check(unitID)
local queue = Spring.GetCommandQueue(unitID)
if (queue~=nul) then <<----------------------------
if(queue and #queue > 0) then
--if(#queue > 0) then

Isn't this already part of engine behaviour?

widget shows allways what ally players are going to build. No need to select own cons or press shift or smth like that

I had no issues there. My version of script is just works. So I did not insert additional checks in that place.
У меня не было никаких проблем в этом месте. Поэтому, я именно тут ничего не менял и у меня все работает.

What broker is trying to tell you is that nul doesn't exist in lua & nil does.

[jamerlan]

Lol no nul exists only in he's version of script I guess.

Broker, Bluestone говорит, что не существует в lua "nul" есть только "nil"

I thought that nil per definition doesn't exist. If it would, it would not be nil.

[Silentwings]

@Jools, not entirely sure what you mean by the phrase 'nil per definition', but you can set variables in lua to be nil - it works much like a nil pointer in C (and afaik thats also what lua is doing interally).

I just meant this:

nil /nɪl/ n

another word for nothing: used esp in the scoring of certain games

Etymology: 19th Century: from Latin

updated this widget to work with spring 98
