Lua scripting in Eufloria - reference

[Alex]

Probably better to do this on a case-by-case basis. I don't know of any rotters in there that take more time than they ought, I'd have to take a look to see which are the most hefty.

I'll have a look in the thread now...

heres 1 u can maybe add RevealAll() although maybe everyone already knew...........maybe i did something wrong just now

[annikk.exe]

You could just do it this way:

Code: [Select]

for i = 0,numberofasteroidsinyourlevel do
GetAsteroid(i):Reveal(1)
end
:>

[Alex]

RevealAll() is a command that was added and should now work. I haven't updated this docs thread in ages, sorry.

Is there anyone that wants to make a writing program just for Eufloria? So it will recognize all these codes automatically instead of going up here just to figure out?

I'm working one one, I have been for a while now. Search for "EUCLiD". The uploaded one at the moment is rather basic, but will get maps done quick. EUCLiD 2 will be much more functional.

I would really like a coding window, and as I see it now, you are using some kind of Visual C... So you know what I mean maybe... If you use some kind of Visual C thingy...

What I meant was a nice program that was just like a notebook or notepad or whatever that recognizes parts of codes and show some examples of codes that looks a little alike...

[Pilchard123]

Ah. Try programmer's notepad, or notepad++

I'll probs put in a coding window to EUCLiD too.

[Aino]

I use notepad++ already What I am talking about is a way to not need to go in here and look after the thing you seek... Simply jsut either search for it in the program or it will pop up in a littl box when you write and you can choose from several(depends) built-in methods to put in...

[Aino]

Is there any way to GET the attribs of an entity? Like entity.attribs.speed?

[annikk.exe]

Yes.

roidstrength = GetAsteroid(x).attribs.strength

For example :>

".attribs.strength" should work for other entities too.  And of course you can call energy and speed, not just strength.

[Aino]

God -.- I have been close though, cause Lua is case sensitive?

[annikk.exe]

Hmm,  not sure.. :>

[Aino]

not working :/ Better check it closeluy then...

Code: [Select]

if GetAsteroid(i).attribs.energy > HighestEnergy then

HighestEnergy = GetAsteroid(i).attribs.energy

end
I get the error: invalid arguments to method call, the function is the AI... and I suspect the attrib part to be the fault...

[Aino]

Solved I think, I saw an error though, I was calling i when it wasn't in a for loop or the variable i was existing Changing now
