Spring RTS Engine

A way to set the default action for any unit onto any unit or object.

So for instance there'd be the default context-action for when you have X unit selected and your mouse is hovering over...
a dead unit
a live, friendly unit
a live, enemy unit
a live, friendly factory

and any others you can come up with...

The purpose is, it would be useful to allow a unit to by default, reclaim rather than repair, or capture rather than attack, etc. Very very useful.

The eerie silence makes me think this has already been done and everyone's mocking me.

Lua!

Can that seriously be done with LUA, or are you just on the "flying krogoth with balloon sandals? Just use LUA!" bandwagon?

If it can really be done with LUA, someone help me out please.

Is that you in your avatar?

And yes you can make the krogoth fly on baloons wearing sandals in lua.

Yessir, that's me. You DON'T want to see the earlier attempts, that you do not.

I prefered it before your latest contrast increase tbh, now it looks more like the cliched average internet attempt at monochrome, change it back ^_^

Changed it back. So, can someone tell me how to do this? It's really important.

IIRC this si controlled in th code in a function with a name similair to GetDefaultCommand or Action.

Look at CUnit and the classes that inherit from it.

And caydr, you look like a badass in that pic. just had to say

We should all have greyscale images of ourselves, then mix them up randomly on April Fools!

Thanks, I was going for a Sin City look... sorta failed and wound up grayscaleish...

(I've never actually seen Sin City or... well I've never read a comic book either actually...)

ANNNNYWAYYYY, this feature is of vital importance to some stuff I'm looking at trying, and a bunch of people just said it's possible. Can someone outline how to do it with LUA?

Thanks

A little something I posted in the lobby this week:
http://trepan.bzflag.bz/spring/defcmd_geotherm.lua

It's first demo widget for the DefaultCommand() lua call-in.
LuaUI, LuaCob, and LuaRules can all use this call-in, but
LuaUI gets the final say (requires a recent SVN exec to
try it out).

The example widget sets up a geotherm build on valid
geotherm sites if an applicable builder is currently selected.

Woops, I said that then went into hiding, away from the Internets for a month

Anyway... what trepan said

I'll take a look at your code, Trepan. Thanks!

Who's that in Comp1337's avatar? Looks Lucyish. No, wait... eyes aren't red. Who is that?

Nyu or what she's called.

That's what I thought, but her eyes don't look red enough. Weird.
