Spring RTS Engine

Hello together,

within AAI I used to check the "metalMake" parameter of the UnitDefinition. At least with BA 10.24, this is not working anymore as the value is 0. I could not find any other hint whether a unit converts energy to metal. Does somebody know how this is handled?

Currently, metal makers have to be defined manually for AAI in the mod/game configuration file. I would like to get rid of this and detect them automatically from the unit properties.

It's possible that it is handled entirely through lua so may not be recognizable from unitdef tags, unless perhaps an entry in customParams.

Afaik metal makers have been automated - they turn on/off through a widget/gadget.

The gadget can set the unit on/off property (in fact, iirc, that's how this gadget works). An AI can see this.

I guess what may not be made "public info" by the gadget is the ratio/efficiency of the conversion.

For BAR I modified the gadget recently to look for customparams
energyconv_capacity + energyconv_efficiency
