Spring RTS Engine

A widget that you can save and build a set of buildings over and over again.

Lua has this function: Spring.TestBuildOrder

So it wouldn't be too hard. Except that I have never worked with Lua OpenGL Api. You are probably thinking one exactly like in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance?


One problem though, in what queue should constructors build the template?
AFAIK in SA:FA it builds starting from the most costly unit downwards. SA:FA buildings are made that a unit can hardly get stuck in them. So it is different than in most Spring games.

[edit] Ah Im wrong -

Whenever you ask a builder unit to execute this building queue, the builder will execute the build exactly the way construction was done the first time, at exact relative positions.

Were do you get your information from? I can't seemed to find it.

I probably won't make this widget because last time I played Spring was a year ago, then my PC couldn't handle it. Now it can! But now TASClient doesn't work and SpringLobby yells at me...

Template build test -> ok (I had to have a function to count player's units because ID numbers are random since one update in Spring, so when starting the widget units that were before it cannot be added to a template because it won't know when which units was created )

Todo:
Adding templates to file
Reading templates from file
GUI <-- hope for help from other lua scripters that have done graphics

[edit] BTW where should the GUI be? Maybe adding a command called Templates(if that's possible for a widget?) and it would switch unit icons to template icons which all selected units can build?

What's done:
file writing
file reading
graphical template building(showing red/green ghosts where you can build and where you can't)

Todo: GUI(template selection)

[edit]
file writing and reading was tested, but didn't work...

making progress -
