Hello,
I have a question.
Can you upgrade for a building which is type:decoration to any RCI building, in this case the building will be upgraded into an industrial type.
Here is the json code:
Code: Select all
[{"build time":0,"draw ground":true,"frames":[{"bmp":"goldorespawn.png"}],"height":1,"id":"$goldore.cesare","influence noise":0,"influence park":0,"influence pollution":0,"needs road":false,"power":0,"spawn":{"height":200,"p":0.003,"radius":800},"text":"A gold ore that is left unmined","title":"Gold ore","type":"decoration","upgrades":[{"frames":[{"bmp":"goldminei.png"}],"height":1,"id":"goldmineind01","influence noise":1,"influence pollution":0,"price":500,"text":"Convert your gold ore into gold mines","title":"Gold Mine","type":"industry","width":1}],"water":0,"width":1}]
IF you are wondering... Yes, on the plans to do a small ore based mining for rural villages. Just curious
Nice idea! Sort of like mining an ore deposit discovered in Civilization!

You might want to use
to change the building.

Hello,
Update on gold ore ----> gold mine
I have tried the fun attribute to change the building. But upon clicking the gold ore, it only removes the texture of gold ore ("type": "decoration") but did not build a gold mine ("type":"industrial"). Also tested "type": "residential" and "type": "commercial" but did not work.
But other building types such as "park" or "sport" will work, it will remove gold ore and build gold mine with that type. (You cannot imagine a gold mine to be a sport or park)
The fun attribute just doesn't apply to RCIs. Its just remove it and leave an empty space behind.

I assume you have to build the needed zone first.

Goldspawntest.zip
Here is the zip file.
My plan here is that the gold ore spawn randomly in a world map as decoration, and then you can upgrade it into a small gold mine as industrial. It is simple idea really. I have plans for copper mines and silver mines but this cannot come to fruition :(
Please move discussion if this is a little off-topic. You can see the code and texture in zip file provided above.

It works if you add an action to build the needed zone and set "needs road":false in the industrial building.
Complete code
Code: Select all
[
{
"draw ground":true,
"frames":[
{
"bmp":"goldorespawn.png"
}
],
"fun":[
{
"actions":[
{
"type":"remove"
},
{
"type":"build",
"id":"$zoneindustrial"
},
{
"id":"goldmine",
"type":"build"
}
],
"condition":{
"id":"upgrade",
"type":"upgrade"
}
}
],
"height":1,
"hidden":false,
"id":"goldore",
"text ":"An unmined gold ore, maybe you can turn it into a gold mine?",
"title":"gold ore",
"type":"decoration",
"upgrades":[
{
"frames":[
],
"id":"upgrade",
"price":0,
"text":"Upgrades to goldmine",
"title":"Mine gold"
}
],
"width":1
},
{
"needs road":false,
"draw ground":true,
"frames":[
{
"bmp":"goldminei.png"
}
],
"height":1,
"hidden":false,
"id":"goldmine",
"influence noise":0,
"influence pollution":0,

}
]

Thanks Lobby for all the help. I'll be testing it first. If it does well, I'll probably release my gold ore plugin today.

Hello!,
I have a question to ask:
¿Can upgrade frames have rotation aware?

Now that i think about it, it would consume plugin space...

You can provide "text" and "title" for each upgrade. They will be shown when that particular upgrade is selected to be chosen. They do not affect the text and title of the building however.

I have a problem, when I write the code for upgrade, even if I insert all 4 frames and the rotation function, the frames always remain the same, while the same building, while when it is not upgrade it changes the image for each side.
Here is the code:
(Sorry for my English)
Code: Select all
[{
"id": "PiazzaMoroSpoglia",
"type": "park",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "Piazza",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL4.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL3.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL2.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL1.png"
}],
"upgrades": [{
"id": "PiazzaMoroPiante",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "L'aggiunta delle piante è l'ideale per tenere al fresco i tuoi cittadini durante la calura estiva",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL5.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL6.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL7.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL8.png"}],

Upgrades aren't rotation aware on their own. You have to use a rotation aware animation in an upgrade in order to support rotation awareness in it. This may look like that:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"PiazzaMoroSpoglia_upgrade00",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL5.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL6.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL7.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL8.png"}],
"rotation aware":true
},
{
"id": "PiazzaMoroSpoglia",
"type": "park",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "Piazza",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL4.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL3.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL2.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL1.png"
}],
"upgrades": [{
"id": "PiazzaMoroPiante",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "L'aggiunta delle piante è l'ideale per tenere al fresco i tuoi cittadini durante la calura estiva",
"frames": [null],
"animation":[{"id":"PiazzaMoroSpoglia_upgrade00","x":0,"y":0}]
}]
}]
