Level help

Also how can i get it to randomly generate tree numbers on asteroids cause mines always says 4 for the ones around me -.-
and also i tried making all grays attack an asteroid but failed how would i do that?

[Aino]

About the numbers, were you using developer mode > F12? then it means the level of the tree, you shouldn't mess around the core things of the game? :S

And about the gray, got no idea really :/

[kmercy]

I mean treecap limit on each asteroid

[Aino]

Ok, not that angry now... Treecap limit? there is no real limit, is there?

There is no limit on the treecap, and random is just math.random(val1,val2), but it tends to create very similar numbers, the random is pseudo random, or dependtant on different variables on the computer to make a random value, this might be why you see the same behaviour

Try enlarge the treecap number from 2,4 to 2,20 and see if there are difference, if there is, then you have nothing wrong in the code

Else, we must investigate this closer, despite my depression :/

[kmercy]

Gonna try set treecap on radius of it now 

[Aino]

Remember to use math.floor or math.ceil to prevent any crashes or stuff if happening, it may tne dto create decimals...

[kmercy]

Just used math.random got no crashes tryed it a few times it seems to work sometimes sometimes it 'randomly' doesn't

[Pilchard123]

Yuo could use a modified rally code to get a massive swarm to attack. Just change the empire ID and the event that triggers it.

[annikk.exe]

Treecap limit? there is no real limit, is there?

He means "how do you set the tree cap for each asteroid?"

And the answer is, like this:

Code: [Select]

GetAsteroid(0).TreeCap = 5
If you want to randomise it per-asteroid, you would do something like this:

Code: [Select]

for i = 0,numberofasteroids do
GetAsteroid(i).TreeCap = math.random(1,5)
end

[annikk.exe]

i tried making all grays attack an asteroid but failed how would i do that?

If you want the greys at a specific asteroid (EG roid #3) to attack another specific asteroid (EG roid #5) here is how you do it:

Code: [Select]

GetAsteroid(3):SendSeedlingsToTarget(0,1000,GetAsteroid(5))
That will send up to 1000 seeds from 3 to 5.


If you wanted to send all the greys on all the asteroids in the level to attack one specific asteroid, EG Asteroid #3, here is how you would do that:

Code: [Select]

for i = 0,numberofasteroids do
GetAsteroid(i):SendSeedlingsToTarget(0,1000,GetAsteroid(3))
end

[AWS]

Actually, a 'common error messages' section to annikk's bugfixing guide could be useful. Want me to try to write one?

any news on this?

[Aino]

any news on this?

Sadly, no :/

I could do it myself, though... I'm not good with explaining long stuff Dx

Code: [Select]

MapTime = nil
Why is that there?  Did you mean it equals 0?

[Aino]

Hmm, let me explain: You can have MapTime to nil if there is no timelimit on the map. So if it's not nil, you have a time limit. If the Win condition is "time" you win when it runs out, else you lose.

So all of the vars I made, works. But the map itself is screwing up >.<
