Help With Changing Button Names

I'm working on modifying unit_morph.lua so that I can have customized button names per unit. I poked into it and I actually managed to figure it out (Lua leveling up for me!) but then I realized that if I stop the morph mid-morph, the
Stop text on the button stays instead of going back to the customized button name.
I'm at a loss, but I imagine you fine people can give me some help. Here is what I modified (probably filled with nastiness, but it does most of what I want
) First batch starts at line ~279, second batch starts at line ~381, and the last batch at ~ 406 :
Unchanged version on the CT SVN (there's so many versions of unit_morph floating around, I hold onto the one CT has because it snaps buildings to the grid)
Code: Select all
newData.texture = morphData.texture
newData.text = morphData.text
newData.name = morphData.name
return newData
end
end
...
if morphDef.name then
morphCmdDesc.name = ''.. morphDef.name
else
morphCmdDesc.name = '#' .. morphDef.into --//only works with a patched layout.lua or the TweakedLayout widget!
end
if morphDef.texture then
morphCmdDesc.texture = "LuaRules/Images/Morph/".. morphDef.texture
--morphCmdDesc.name = ''
else
morphCmdDesc.texture = "#" .. morphDef.into --//only works with a patched layout.lua or the TweakedLayout widget!
end
...
morphCmdDesc.tooltip = nil
morphCmdDesc.texture = nil
morphCmdDesc.text = nil
morphCmdDesc.name = nil
end
Sorry if I didn't provide enough/correct info for help, I don't post often in the lua part of the boards

It's impossible!
I managed to track down the culprit for making the red Stop appear, and deleted that. So now morphing in CT doesn't say Stop while you're morphing, although you can still of course stop. This isn't desired but it's a bullet I'll bite to get customized button names.
If someone wants to speak up on how to remedy this, be my guest. At the top of the gadget I added a note detailing what I did.

I really don't see your problem.
Just reset the cmddesc name in StopMorph(). Also you better revert your whole commit, cause 90% of it is just wrong.

S44 version of morph does it, have fun integrating the right changes

Actually wasn't that hard
So can anyone explain real quick why:
Code: Select all
morphCmdDesc.name = morphDef.name or "Deploy"
works and:
Code: Select all
if morphDef.name then
morphCmdDesc.name = ''.. morphDef.name
else
morphCmdDesc.name = '#' .. morphDef.into --//only works with a patched layout.lua or the TweakedLayout widget!
end
doesn't? I'm guessing it is because of the "if ... then", but I don't know.

You copied that line from a few lines below, BUT there it is morphCmdDesc.
texture = ... !

XTA version of morph gadget allows you to name your morph button anyway you like and associate any texture you want with it (borrowed some code from The Cursed and added some of my own). Just look into the
gadget config file for details.
You'll just have to remove "Stop" if you don't want it to appear while morphing.

I got morph doing what I want, thanks though Deadnight Warrior
