firestandorders, mobilestandorders, standingfireorder, standingmoveorder Not Documented?

[Forboding Angel]

I can't seem to find these anywhere in the wiki. Can someone else confirm?

[Silentwings]

What are they?

(A search of the wiki and the engine source reveals nothing...)

[nixtux]

Deprecated / renamed or never added TA'ism

Aren't they the Hold Fire / Return Fire / Fire at will and Stand Still / Maneuver / Roam tristate buttons?

But yeah, not sure it was ever implemented.

[FLOZi]

In OTA the Standing* functions set the initial value, and the *orders tags enable and disable the button.

In Spring the former are renamed to:

https://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:Unit ... :fireState

https://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:Unit ... :moveState


They are in the https://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:UnitDefs#Commands subsection

If you wish to replicate the behaviour of the latter tags and remove the button altogether, this is easily done with lua e.g.

Code: Select all

local toRemove = {CMD.FIRE_STATE, CMD.MOVE_STATE}
for _, cmdID in pairs(toRemove) do
local cmdDescID = Spring.FindUnitCmdDesc(unitID, cmdID)
Spring.RemoveUnitCmdDesc(unitID, cmdDescID)
end

You might also try the '-1' value for the other tags but I'm not sure on that, and it has other effects as documented in the wiki.

Yes they are, and the tags work properly. That's why I was wondering why there was no documentation.

EDIT: OMGEEE CODEBOX EXTENSION, @abma I LURVE YOUUU!

[Silentwings]

the tags work properly

Springs differently named versions of them do (as in FLOZi's post) but the tags you've named in the title of this thread don't exist.

There are STANDINGMOVEORDERS and STANDINGFIREORDERS (plural...) which turn out to be COB constants https://springrts.com/wiki/Lua_ConstCOB. The two *STANDORDERS seem not to exist anywhere.

For anyone looking for a "replacement" for these tags, check out "firestate" and "movestate" in the wiki.
