Heya

(1) How can I find the tile of a certain building using Script.EVENT_PLACED and using Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y), I used all of it, I put the id back but still can't find it.

Code: Select all

if event == SCRIPT.EVENT_PLACED and Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y):getDraft() == "$galleon00" then
  if gllg < 100 then 
   Builder.remove(x,y)
end
end

(2) How can I create or trigger a new map that will save in Single Cities, something like the DSA's moon map, and back to the origin city. How variable works between those maps? Can I have a sample lua script for it, if available

[JustAnyone]

1) In that case, he's comparing Draft with ID which will never return true
2)

Code: Select all

City.load(file location [str], overwrite the map with same name or not [bool], is available in single cities selection or not [bool], target city name [str])

In DSA's case, it loads an empty map and then other scripts take care of generation.

Think of Drafts as an JSON object.

Code: Select all

{
  "id": "$example",
  "type": "decoration",
  "width": 1,
  "height": 1,
  ...
}

So think of Tile.getBuildingDraft() as getting the code above. Now can you see why it's not the same as the id?
Now if you want to match ids you would have to add :getId() to get the Id of the draft that was returned by Tile.getBuildingDraft()

How to use City.countBuildingsOfType(type[,level])? That's always show me an errors 'call nil'. I see the returns is number and level, then i set 2 variables, but it's still doesn't work.

Thx, try it with

Code: Select all    Reset

City.countBuldingsOfType()

Lua editor

Run

Output: Select all

instead. Will be fixed in 1.8.91.

Can i get an explanation about budgetItem and getCurrency(name)? Are there different functions and types of drafts? How can I make them and show in financial information?

[Hadestia]

Code: Select all

function buildZoneC(zeroX, zeroY, zoneId, radius)
    zeroX = zeroX - radius
    zeroY = zeroY - radius
    local offset = 0
    Builder.buildZone(Draft.getDraft(zoneId), zeroX + offset, zeroY)
    for i=1, (radius * 2 + 1)^2 - 1 do
    if i % (radius * 2 + 1) == 0 then
      zeroY = zeroY + 1
      offset = 0
    else
      offset = offset + 1
    end
    Builder.buildZone(Draft.getDraft(zoneId), zeroX + offset, zeroY)
    end
end

Code underneath runs it, when player builds a building with <id>:

Code: Select all

function script:event(zeroX, zeroY, level, event)
  if event == Script.EVENT_PLACED and Tile.getBuildingDraft(zeroX, zeroY):getId() == "<id> then
    buildZoneC(zeroX, zeroY, "$zonecommercial", 2)
  end
end

Result of build:

It also places zone under that building, btw

Wait how to used that <id> cause i test it and nothings happened i think it missed the "getId() = <id>" there .

Also you didn't used variable:"zoneId" from your buildZone function

[Hadestia]

Gonna ask again.

Can i use :

Show

code

Code: Select all

local lpeg = required 'lpeg'

for my plugin?, Sorry i just ask in advance cause I can't play right now my phone always shutdown when i startup my theo donno why ,

[KINGTUT10101]

Can you detect winter mode, weather, and zone demand through Lua?

[JustAnyone]

Using virtual variables, yes.

[KINGTUT10101]

What about specific happiness levels, like park happiness?

[ian`]

I think City.getCommercialJobs and getIndustrialJobs return the wrong values at one level higher of available inhabitant levels.

_20200724_133550.JPG

You can see at the image, com and ind TT are (0), but return from lua are 22 and 50.

_20200724_133538.JPG

It's same at TTT levels, it must be 0, but return from lua are 172 and 409.

TT version 1907
Thanks.

@KINGTUT10101 version 1.9.09 will introduce an extra parameter happinessType for City.getHappiness that will allow you to get more specific happiness values.

Using it will look like that:

Code: Select all    Reset

local value = City.getHappiness(City.HAPPINESS_PARK)
Debug.toast(value)

Lua editor

Run

Output: Select all

@distian The discrepancy that you've discovered is caused by the fact that the budget view shows the amount of all jobs that are created by buildings of a specific level. Your job numbers differ from that slightly in that even poor commercial places create a few higher level jobs (e.g. the boss of a facility is usually richer than his employees).

[ian`]

i think there is a bug in City.getDisaster() functions. it always returned 'fire' no matter what disaster happened.

[Lobby]

True, I called the wrong function...

How did you make the corners of this window round here? Is there a specific function for that?

Tbh, i used 5 rectangular layers. 2 layers for the shadow, 2 layers for the brighter color and 1 layer for the base.

[KINGTUT10101]

Dang, I was hoping it was just a simple command. I actually had the same idea to make rounded corners that way, but I thought I would ask you about it first.

Spent quite some time trying to get this to work

I wonder why does Builder.buildGround remove trees? Would be cooler if it didn't but then we wouldn't have this GIF

For now, you can try like this:

Code: Select all    Reset

local tree
local treeFrame

function script:earlyTap(x,y)
  if Tile.isTree(x,y) then   -- condition if any trees in position
   tree = Tile.getTreeDraft(x,y)   -- get tree draft
   treeFrame = Tile.getTreeFrame(x,y)   -- get tree frame
   Builder.buildGround('$asphalt00',x,y)
   Builder.buildTree(tree,x,y,treeFrame)   -- build tree after build ground
  else   -- condition if no tree in position
   Builder.buildGround('$asphalt00',x,y)
  end
return false
end
