Spring RTS Engine

When a condition isn't met.

In this case, we have techlost() and techgranted()

I tried
set Activation to 1; (and 0, and true/false)

but it had no effect on this unit.

The unit in particular makes energy, and I would like to reduce it's energy output to 0 while techlost.

I'm thinking this should be easy but for some reason I can't figure it out.

I think you actually have to have the unit 'use' -ve energy. IIRC thats how *A solars do it.

Here is the script as it is.

I switched it to energyuse -number, that caused the button added by onoffable = true to work correctly.

Amidoinitrong?

Edit the unitdef to have onoffable=0; actvatewhenbuild=1; and it will be fine, no extra buttons, and the ACTIVATION will be set according to TechLost and TechGranted calls.
The unit script is OK, but I'd remove some redundant code.

It could be that the gadget doesn't call those functions when a unit is built, but only when the tech status changes.

lol i derail with lua:
Spring.SetUnitResourcing

Thanks deadknight

@knorke, get me a 1:1 bos:lua converter and we'll talk ;p

maybe you could call it from within the tech-gadget?
then it wont matter if unitscript is bos or lua.
