How do I use City.issueDisaster ()?

I've been trying to use City.issueDisaster () in a Lua-based project of mine, but I can't get it to work. I've been trying to get a building to execute disasters relative to it's position, but nothing happens. The script is attached to a building json using the "script": "myscripthere.lua" variable. Oddly enough, the notification will still activate, even though the disasters do not.
Code: Select all
math.randomseed(os.time())
-- Creates a seed for RNG
local PNI=Draft.getDraft("$anim_people_source01"):getFrame (21)
-- Sets the frame variables
function script.nextDay ()
City.issueDisaster ("DISASTER_RIOT", 1, 0)
City.issueDisaster ("DISASTER_RIOT", -1, 0)
City.issueDisaster ("DISASTER_RIOT", 0, 1)
City.issueDisaster ("DISASTER_RIOT", 0, -1)
City.issueDisaster ("FIRE", 0, 0)
City.showNotification{icon=PNI, id="Riot.notif", showOnce=false, important=true, text="Prison riot!", locationX, locationY}
end

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, after trying your code, nothing seemed to change. It still only plays the notification.

Riot need road to spawn and fire need building or tree to burn. Even you make it random, if there are no stuff, disaster will not happen.

I'm well aware of these conditions and I can assure you, the riots and fires should have all the buildings and roads they need.

Documentation of City.issueDisaster
As name of the disasters I suggest to just use the predefined constants like City.DISASTER_FIRE etc. The position provided is absolute so you have to pass the x and y of the context yourself.
Code:
Select all Reset
function script:earlyTap(x, y)
City.issueDisaster(City.DISASTER_RIOT, x + 1, y)
City.issueDisaster(City.DISASTER_RIOT, x - 1, y)
City.issueDisaster(City.DISASTER_RIOT, x, y + 1)
City.issueDisaster(City.DISASTER_RIOT, x, y - 1)
City.issueDisaster(City.DISASTER_FIRE, x, y)
return false -- Prevent it from open dialog for the tile
end

Ah, thank you. I'll try this later. I wasn't aware you need to add the prefix to the disaster names as well.

Yeah, the documentation is admittedly that that specific in that regard. Thank you for pointing that out, this way we can improve the documentation

You mentioned how the positions are absolute. To make them relative to a building, would I use City.getBuilding () as a part of the location?

Well, it depends on where you want to spawn it. You could do something like
Code:
Select all Reset
local x, y = City.getBuilding(1, draft)
Interactive Lua editorRun
to get the location of the first building of type draft.
But actually, if you want to do it daily for every building of the type your script is attached to the use of
script:daily(x, y, level) would be a great choice. That would look like that:
Code:
Select all Reset
function script:daily(x, y)
-- Do something with x, y
end

Thank you for the help! It finally seems to be working now:
