Spring RTS Engine

Just throwing this out here

http://pw3n.net/widgets/unit_stockpile.lua

This widget not only stockpiles nukes but prepares them for instant fire by starting their firing script then stopping it.

The only issue is that it doesn't work on the core tactical nuke, even though you can do this manually... if anyone has any ideas on this please let me know.

Nice trick :)

Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, CMD.ATTACK, {Spring.GetUnitPosition(unitID)}, {})



Because I'm such a good friend I will point out that if LuaUI crashes you will nuke yourself. Once for every silo.

Couldn't think of a better place to aim them!

map center?

I'd rather nuke myself if lua crashed than my ally or front line (also middle of the map could theoretically be out of range from some nukes), tho the window for it happening is very small anyway and I almost never get luaui crashes myself :p

I'm more concerned about why it doesnt work at all for the cortron.

Couldnt you aim outside the map or really high up?

Aim high!? You can't aim high in spring!

I need to go change that into a mod option / make it optional per weapon. It's nothing more than a hack. Fix the rockos, don't force aiming restrictions.

I mean give the attack order an absurdly high height.

That's what I mean. You cannot give an attack order more than 8 elmos off the ground. Not without a helper gadget at any rate.

It's still a nuke. Even if you could aim it up, it would fly through that spot and land on the ground.

Aim it at the opposite position on the map.
So if you are in the middle it aims at itself, or if you are at the NE corner it aims at SW corner. Dunno, this widget just makes me nervous...

What if you were doing this trick without a widget and your cat kicked your keyboard lead out before you could hit 's'

It would be aimed at the enemy base.

It would be aimed at my cat.
