Does anyone know of a spring lua variable that would allow me to execute a command if you are playing as a certain faction?

Spring.GetTeamInfo 5th returned value.

Beware however, if you develop using an empty script with spring.exe, that value is nil (or empty string) so be sure that you account for that.

yeah true.. it is usually not a good idea to rely on that. as in spring, you can change faction during the game (capture or resurrect an enemy construction unit, loose your own construction units), you should rather rely on the current units in the team, if possible.

Code: Select all
local localplayerID = Spring.GetLocalTeamID()
local _,_,_,_,f = Spring.GetTeamInfo(localplayerID)
local _,faction = Spring.GetSideData (f)
Spring.Echo ("You are playing as faction:" .. faction)
Also attached the widget I talked about in the "Custom GUI" thread, it replaces "metal" with "wood" for Arm and with "gold" for Core.
Turns out it was all fine, Spring just fails to set faction when playing over spring.exe directly. So use a lobby.
To change the resource/faction names see
function widget:Initialize()
at the end of the file.

What do you mean with an empty script? The configuration file?

he means if you run spring.exe directly and not via a lobby.
