GADGET REQUEST: Unit morphing/replacement
Posted: 16 Oct 2009, 10:40
Can someone post a simple replacement script? This is all i need, all modifications like cost and paralyzing the unit afterward i can implement myself.

or teach me how in the world to get the overly complicated unit_morph script working and what version to use...

Did you use the morph_defs config file?

Yes. All i got were a bunch of errors. I debugged it, then the gadget did nothing.
I tried xta's version and ca's version, both of which work in their respective games....

You might try the 1944 one, but I think there is a dependency on another lua gadget...

1944 one is the CA one with relatively minor changes to suit our needs.

Im still getting this error spammed every frame:
here is my luarules/Config/morph_defs.lua
Code: Select all
[ 325] LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, Update, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/unit_morph.lua"]:1044: bad argument #1 to 'snext' (table expected, got nil)Code: Select all

local devolution = false
local morphDefs = {
ant = {
[1] = {into = 'mantis', time = 10,},
},
mantis = {
[1] = {into = 'ant', time = 10,},
},
}

-- Here's an example of why active configuration
-- scripts are better then static TDF files...

--
-- devolution, babe (useful for testing)

if (devolution) then
local devoDefs = {}
for src,data in pairs(morphDefs) do
devoDefs[data.into] = { into = src, time = 10, metal = 1, energy = 1 }
end
for src,data in pairs(devoDefs) do
morphDefs[src] = data
end
end
return morphDefs

Try this:
There's only 1 morph destination per unit, you do not need to set it as a table of tables (ie the part with [1] was not needed and probably caused those errors).
Code: Select all
local devolution = false
local morphDefs = {
ant = {into = 'mantis', time = 10,},
mantis = {into = 'ant', time = 10,},
}

Probably the iterator function for spairs.

Why is my morphdefs null?
So frustrating....

db, use this one. It's simple, straight forward, and it just so happens to work.
(edit the config of course)
