Code: Select all

pieCakeDefs = {}
for defName, mDef in pairs(morphDefs) do
   local defID = UnitDefNames[defName].id
   local intoID = UnitDefNames[mDef.into].id
   pieCakeDefs[defID] = {intoID, mDef.metal}
end

Note that this code will crash if you have any names wrong. Adding error checking is left as an exercise to the reader.

local morphDefs = {
    ant= {
        [1] = {into = 'mantis', metal = 100, energy = 0, time = 5,},
        [2] = {into = 'anklet', metal = 200, energy = 0, time = 5,},
        [3] = {into = 'aviantor', metal = 300, energy = 0, time = 5,},
        [4] = {into = 'dirigantible', metal = 400, energy = 0, time = 5,},
    },
    ...
}

lurker wrote:Yeah, I tend to do that when I'm not paying attention. My code only supports single-option morphs. I did make a mistake in reading your code, but that's because I can't tell what you want.
You want this, right?

Code: Select all

{
    ant-id = {into-id, 100}, 
    ...
}

So, if you have multiple morphs:

Code: Select all

{
    ant-id = {into-id-1, 100},
    ant-id = {into-id-2, 100}, 
    ...
}

Which just overwrites the first one with the second one.

Unless you actually want:

Code: Select all

{
    ant-id = {
        {into-id-1, 100},
        {into-id-2, 100}, 
    }
    ...
}

Please show me what you want your output to look like *with multiple morph options*.
And I'm not sure what Argh's doing.

Argh wrote:TexRect accepts texture coordinates as parameters you're allowed to pass (try to imagine texture coordinates as an arbitrary quad you place over your texture, even outside its bounds). This will allow you to build your offset and show a non-square area sample from a texture.

So, for example, gl.TexRect(0,0,600,600,0,0,0.5,0.5) would render your TexRect with one quarter of your texture used to cover the whole quad.

Anyhow, hope that helps.
