Cant hide move lines

[Floris]

Code: Select all

local function SetupCommandColors(state)
	local alpha = state and 1 or 0
	local f = io.open('cmdcolors.tmp', 'w+')
	if (f) then
	
		f:write('move  0.5 1.0 0.5 ' .. alpha)
		f:close()
		Spring.SendCommands({'cmdcolors cmdcolors.tmp'})
	end
	local f = io.open('cmdcolors.tmp', 'w+')
	if (f) then
	
		f:write('unitBox  0 1 0 ' .. alpha)
		f:close()
		Spring.SendCommands({'cmdcolors cmdcolors.tmp'})
	end
	os.remove('cmdcolors.tmp')
end

The code above: 'unitBox' gets properly hidden, 'move' wont.

(also: is it possible to just open 'cmdcolors.tmp' just once and write multiple times?)

Code: Select all

    "r": read mode (the default);
    "w": write mode;
    "a": append mode;
    "r+": update mode, all previous data is preserved;
    "w+": update mode, all previous data is erased;
    "a+": append update mode, previous data is preserved, writing is only allowed at the end of file.

So don't use "w+".

And yeah, would make more sense to have a single open with two writes.

I suppose you will need to write("\n") between the two lines though.

The addition of the \n fixed it for the move cmd, and also worked for the combination of the 2 writes


THANKS!

Don't create a file for that.
There is a UnsyncedCtrl callout that takes the files content as input instead of a filename.

jK means you should do something like:

Code: Select all

local function SetupCommandColors(state)
   local alpha = state and 1 or 0
   Spring.LoadCmdColorsConfig('move  0.5 1.0 0.5 ' .. alpha)
   Spring.LoadCmdColorsConfig('unitBox  0 1 0 ' .. alpha)
end
