Ooo, more COB toys. Which of course can be readily accesed via LuaCob and/or LuaRules? Not that I was hit by an immediately apparent way I could use it in BTech this time.

'Hero' units that can only be built once during the game and only by one player...

LuaCob and LuaRules can use Spring.GetUnitCOBValue() and
Spring.SetUnitCOBValue() to access any COB GET/SET values,
for any unit.

Your hero unit limiter would be better done with LuaRules.

Not without further Lua.

What does this mean? It's pretty simple in Lua actually.

Unit variables would have been more useful but still nice.

Unit variables instead of script static vars?

I think he means a variable accesable by all units of a given type.

Ah, I had mentionned that in #moddev, but didn't get much of a response.
It's easy enough to setup.

It turns out that KDR actually wants per-unit variables (not per-unitDef),
so that he can pass information between units. To that end, I'm adding
8 per-unit variables, with the ability to get and set variables for other units.
The new layout is as follows:
Code: Select all
// SIZES
static const int UNIT_VAR_COUNT = 8;
static const int TEAM_VAR_COUNT = 64;
static const int ALLY_VAR_COUNT = 64;
static const int GLOBAL_VAR_COUNT = 1024;
// CODES
static const int UNIT_VAR_START = 1024;
static const int TEAM_VAR_START = 2048;
static const int ALLY_VAR_START = 3072;
static const int GLOBAL_VAR_START = 4096;

I can't see how per-unit vars are different from static vars...?
Edit: missed 'setting from other units bit'

You can't read static-vars in one script from another script. You could use the globals for that but it's confusing.
