if you have time to read, just read my open source code, you will find many functions you need. https://github.com/dist-ian/AnimationDevTool
this another examples from devtools by Lobby. closeDialog() is same as dialog.close().

Alternatively in the onclick you can do ```
onclick = function (self)
self.close()

This is what I've used in the textplacer

I need help right now im stuck with these i used "script:earlyTap()" to a certain building to open dialog box when it's tapped and used a statement :
if not Script.EVENT_TOOL_ENTER then
If Tile.getBuildingDraft():getId == "x" then
Dialogbox()
end
end
I want to disable that tap sensitive when i enter any tool, 'cause the dialog always appears when i used remove tool and clicked its own tile
hollow flax
rocky geode
Why does Script.EVENT_(TYPES) doesn't work outside event script
rocky geode
@hollow flax it now can be clicked by remove tool but the dialogbox still poped-up
hollow flax
use script:click
rocky geode
use script:click
I can't use that because the main script is not attached to any building draft it's seperated

that's why Tile.getBuildingDraft exists

Not work

code?

code?
function script:click(x,y,level)
local get = Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y):getId()
local cv = Tile.isBuildingInConstruction(x,y)
if Tile.isBuilding(x,y) then
opener(x,y,get,cv)
return false
end

hollow flax
function script:click(x,y,level)
local get = Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y):getId()
local cv = Tile.isBuildingInConstruction(x,y)
if get == 'theidofthebuilding' and cv then

return false

local function opener(get,cv)
if not cv then
if get == "$aosMarket09765"then
showDialog()
return false
elseif get == "$aoswarehouse7" then
WarePanel()
return false
elseif get == "$Aostownhall01" then

return false
elseif get == "$AosSmugDocked" then

for i = 1, #max do
if get == merchlist[i] then

function script:click(x,y,level)
local get = Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y):getId()
local cv = Tile.isBuildingInConstruction(x,y)
if Tile.isBuilding(x,y) then
opener(get,cv)

The following code always reads nil, does anyone know why? Tile.getBuildingFrame seems to work fine.
local x, y = City.getView()
local name = Tile.getBuildingName(x, y)
Debug.toast(name)
end```i don't recommend that, but the way is you need to declare the local vars outside the function.
local x, y, name
function script:update()
x, y = City.getView()
name = Tile.getBuildingName(x,y)
Debug.toast(name)
end```I still have the issue
I tried something like this earlier
I'm not sure why this function doesn't work while the other one does
hollow flax
try to use if name ~= nil then Debug.toast(name) end.
logical is important if you using lua. it can be prevented like the toast appearing every frames, ignore return nil, or something like that.
terse void
Might have something to do with floating point numbers
Getview returns a float
Maybe you have to round that before you can use tile.getbuildingname
Also you should check if the values are within the city border with tile.isvalid
terse void
anyways i reccomend doing ```lua
function script:update()
local x, y = City.getView()
x = math.floor(x)
y = math.floor(y)
if(Tile.isBuilding(x, y)) then
local name = Tile.getBuildingName(x, y)
Debug.toast(name)
end

i dont know what the building name will be if there is no building on the tile
you always want to round down so you get the tile the camera is looking at

getting the draft and getting its title works fine though
maybe getBuildingName gets some other attribute

btw, what is the problem?
Some comments say list boxes won't appears on them

Why do the coordinates change when the map rotates?
Rotating can make an object's position go from 18, 15 to 14, 13
bright rain
x, y = City.getView()
x = math.floor(x+0.5)
y = math.floor(y+0.5)
draft = Tile.getBuildingDraft(x, y)
Debug.toast(draft)
screenWidth, screenHeight = Drawing.getSize()
Drawing.drawLine ((screenWidth/2)-4, screenHeight/2, (screenWidth/2)+4, screenHeight/2, 1)
Drawing.drawLine (screenWidth/2, (screenHeight/2)-4, screenWidth/2, (screenHeight/2)+4, 1)
end```If you use this code, put the crosshair on the building, and rotate, you'll notice that the game wont detect the building anymore
After rotating:
When I move the cursor over to the tile it should be on (16, 14), the game will finally detect it
Even if there are other buildings there
I can confirm that this issue isn't caused by rounding either
hollow flax
0 | 0 | 0
1 | 0 | Map Height
2 |Map Width| Map Height
3 |Map Width| 0```actually, the x and y are changed when the city is rotated, but the building (i though) still in the rotation 0.
bright rain
Is this supposed to happen (the building being at rotation 0)?
terse void
You should only round X and y down by the way
Because if you're over .5 of a tile you're still looking at that same time
terse void
Oh
bright rain
But I'll take a look at this
terse void
Well if works I wouldn't touch it
bright rain
For science
terse void
For the rotation pretty sure the top left corner will always be 0,0
Would be nice if we had a on rotate event for script:event
bright rain
I'm surprised that's not a thing already
bright rain
Maybe you could read the rotation and see if it's changed the next frame
terse void
Yeah that would be the only way
Then doing whatever rotation logic when you detect the change
Probably not a great idea to get rotation every frame
*getview
But if that's the only way
bright rain
I think there's a dedicated rotation function
bright rain
City.getRotation()

Pretty sure that'll bug out when you're in placing mode
bright rain
And for some reason it broke on larger maps
terse void
Ah yeah
I was thinking of adding an option for that
Instead of random points
I should be able to add it in fairly easily
bright rain
Are your endpoints always generated the same distance away?
terse void
Nah
Just a min of 10 tiles away from the current endpoint
From there it can be anywhere
It has a 50/50 chance to pick lower or higher X value
Same for y
Then it generates a number between X+10 and city width for example

thin blade
why not?
trail furnace
I think if i replace the zip, people who placed the buildings from the plugin the building will dissapear
(I think)
eternal lake
it will if they have different ids
thin blade
I don't think so. if you keep the same ID it doesnt make it disappear
trail furnace
Ohh
flat sonnet
Its possible to change the sound car
Where i can get the ingame
Resource code?
I want to use ingame rails00

I'm pretty sure they are private plugin /only released on Korean forum
Do you have the link?
rocky geode
Your frame index is wrong.
They aren't, unfortunately only 2 city rotation had the frame what is supposedly be, while the 2 encountered that problem, the second image I've sent.
rocky geode
Still clueless they're the only one experiencing these errors 
,i downloaded my own plugin just to see if it's works fine and yeah it is.
terse void
They probably just loaned the Max amount and are now in debt when paying it back
A button to insta pay back loans would be neat though
hollow flax
You have to ask why and how they lost the money, then you look the problem at your codes.
If they have pressed the loan button, then you look at all functions that related with loan.
terse void
Also you should add X and y to the money spending
Budgetitem would be nice too
So its shown on the expenses screen
hollow flax
unfortunately, the x and y are bassed on tiles, not screen coordinates.
How about earnMoney with negative value?
terse void
Can't just use the location of the building?
That's what I've used for the decoletter tool
steel verge
It's passed thru abs()
terse void
But like that way the users know the money is being spent by the bank
hollow flax
With active dialog on the screen, idk if red price will visible.
steel verge
I bet 40% it's not even the problem with the coding, people just don't get it
terse void
Ye
That's what I'm guessing
They probably just borrowed the Max amount
Maybe lock big loans behind city rank?
Also I couldn't click the ? Button
hollow flax
Because your money only 105k, not 150k. 
bright rain
Is that issue with building coordinates a problem with the game, or should I try to fix this issue myself?
terse void
The rotation?
Ask ja
He probably knows if that's intended behaviour or not
Or lobby
hollow flax
Ah, help button. Idk if that button is out of dialog.
bright rain
@steel verge
terse void
Yeah I got the character wrong
bright rain
Nice bot
terse void
Angery pidroid
steel verge
What coordinate issue?
steel verge
It's the way perspective is shown
bright rain
You should only round X and y down by the way
I tested this. Rounding up is definitely the way to go. Rounding down will offset the tile by one to the right.
bright rain
I guess so
Oof
I just found out that City.getView() does not work well with elevated terrain
It detects to tile at level 0 instead of the one you're actually looking at
terse void
thats the behavior i would want with my camera tool
bright rain
Yeah
But this is bad for my tool
Too bad there isn't an option for it
I'm not even sure how I could fix this
Time for some experimentation
bright rain
I haven't found out how to do that yet
terse void
why do you need the tile the user is looking at anyways
bright rain
terse void
oh is it a filter
bright rain
No. Its like WAILA from modded minecraft. It gives you info about the item you are looking at
terse void
ah right
you could make it on tap maybe
pretty sure that one accounts for elevation
bright rain
That kind of defeats the point
terse void
true that
bright rain
If you tap the building, that pulls up its info
terse void
not if you make it a tool
bright rain
On a side note, TIL that RCI decos can have untouchable on them
terse void
now that you mention it
bright rain
not if you make it a tool
Im not sure I understand
terse void
did not know that
if youre in a tool tapping on buildings wont open their popup
if you make your plugin draft a tool you can do that
then with the sidebutton you enter the tool
bright rain
I think having to open the tool would defeat the purpose. This is just meant to give players quick info about a building
terse void
Fair enough
bright rain
But i think I get what youre saying
terse void
I discovered that when trying to make a pin to sidebar function for my tool
Not quite sure how to actually enter a draft from a lua function but I've seen it done before
Has something to do with createdraftdrawer
But yknow
It's not documented
I think ian figured it out
terse void
Yeah I think there's some code floating around somewhere where it's used
It's also used in the tree tool but there its used to display a set of drafts
bright rain
Im so glad I got that area tool working. It makes my testing a lot easier
Its too bad the game doesn't support RCI buildings with the builder functions
bright rain
As far as I can tell it doesn't
terse void
Also not with privilege code?
bright rain
I tried for a while to get that working
bright rain
Also not with privilege code?
Privileged doesn't work either
terse void
Damn
bright rain
Even on PC
terse void
I got a neat preview feature coming up for the text placing tool on pc
Will preview the text you're about to place at your cursor position
Doesn't quite work yet though
bright rain
I haven't quite figured out how that sort of thing works yet either
I cheated with my area tool so I wouldn't have to add a preview myself
terse void
This was the issue I had
Lobby told me to draw it in script:draw city instead to get it right
But I gotta do a bunch of stuff to be able to draw it there
bright rain
Thats rough
terse void
The feature only exists on pc anyways so I'm not in a hurry to get it out
Although I could preview it in the middle of the screen for mobile maybe
Like it does when placing a building
terse void
I needed privilege to place decoletters
bright rain
It seems to work for me now
terse void
But they're iaps
bright rain
I swear I tried adding my code before
bright rain
Maybe
I remember trying to find if a building was privileged with its draft, but it always returned true
Regardless of the building
terse void
Ah right for finding dlc buildings right?
bright rain
Yeah
terse void
I remember that one
Now I'm curious what builder.getbuildingprice will return for diamond buildings
hollow flax
This was the issue I had
try to invert it. ex the text are 'TheoTown', create from 'n' to 'T', then place 'T' in the cursor.
for i=TextLen-1, 0, -1 do
Builder.buildBuilding(draft,x-i,y)
end```Oh thanks for these problems i think i gonna use GUI.getclientWidth for these
rocky geode
Btw @terse void i had problems with active loans its own array always passed its value to other city even it was declared in City.getStorage() for its save and load state :/
hollow flax
are you load it when you enter city?
earnest pendant
<@456226577798135808>
thank you
rocky geode
are you load it when you enter city?
Of course
rocky geode
What's the difference between: ```lua
local table = {}
table:add(element)
--AND
table.insert(table,element)
??"add" only for array. table = Array() table:add('foo')
rocky geode
I forgot to empty the table that's why it has loop hole for every item
rocky geode
@hollow flax does "stg" Variable from loading city/theo storage are constant or user define? E.g
local function TheoTown()
--return storage
end
local function saveState()
local stg = TheoTown()
stg.var = 1
end
the basic things :
- if variable is function, the value is always update everytimes it called.
- if variable is defined value, the value is constant until you change it.
rocky geode
what i mean is if it can be change into something
--from
local stg = TheoTown()
--to
local stg1 = TheoTown()
i don't understand, what you want to do?
rocky geode
Ah you know change naming variable to avoid confusion
hollow flax
ah, variable name. it's can't be changed.
terse void
If you assign it's value in the same way you should be able to rename it no problem

How do I change the build time of something?
And also I am making a park, how do I let it give that green sphere of "park-happiness"
trail furnace
Maybe
"build time":
terse void
thats marked as rci only on the forum but you can try
trail furnace
Hmm, now that i can code a basic plugin, maybe ill try to learn night anim next, and maybe learn how to add influences
trail furnace
I agree with you
frozen sand
And do you guys now how to make that sphere?
trail furnace
Wdym?
My brain is having a bad time lol, i want to ask a question but dont know how to say it

Testing a plugin is pain for me, my TT need to load 7000
How do i add multiple frames
It took me 10 min just for my brain to think of that..
terse void
you do json [ {"bmp": "frame1.png"}, {"bmp": "frame2.png"} ]
trail furnace
Ohhhhh
terse void
alternatively you can use 1 image and get multiple frames out of that
slightly more complicated though
trail furnace
Ty, i was thinking to do that but im afraid if it will crash
terse void
how the frames are used depends on plugin type
terse void
light and light switching should be true
terse void
also
light and light switching should be in your animation draft
not your building draft
night frames should point to an animation draft
thin blade
What is "night frames"? I've never used that before
trail furnace
I think im not ready for night animation.. ;-;
thin blade
Normally you need to define animation to make night frame
trail furnace
steel verge
terribly inefficient
thin blade
light animation must be defined before its building
trail furnace

It works on my shorter fence

U deleted something ?
trail furnace
I fixed it
tawdry schooner
Nice
thin blade
Just put all of them in 1 zip
trail furnace
Ohh, that works? I tought it will breaks
thin blade
Yeah just like I have tons of folders in my slow traffic package zip
You can also simplify by writing all plugins in 1 json file
trail furnace
Does it means i need 3 plugin.manifest?
thin blade
Only 1 because it's 1 plugin package
I don't make plugin.manifest but I'm pretty sure
tawdry schooner
Hm
Wait
That means
Put each file on a zip
And then put all of those file zips in another zip
Idk tbh
thin blade
Eh if you're uploading to plugin store you don't need manifest file
wraith talon
should I use 32x32 or 64x64
trail furnace
Eh if you're uploading to plugin store you don't need manifest file
I... oh
I dont know why but it still dont work tho

Why did it keep failing

You didnt put one of the code files or graphics

I did -_-

how do i enter a draft from lua?
nvm
i found lua City.createDraftDrawer(draft).select()
also
im trying to create a button that looks the same as if it was created by Theotown.RegisterToolaction
but that function doesnt work outside of tools
also
can i invoke a function in another script?
hollow flax
unfortunately, Script.EVENT_TOOL_ENTER is only for generic tool.
terse void
i guess i could register a console command and call that using city.execute

Why this is not work
Question by @rjroldan1#3808
terse void
I can't see anything wrong in the screenshot
Although you could simplify it a bit since youre doing lua theme:setVisible() theme:delete() theme = nil in every if case
steel verge
How did you get that code?
flat sonnet
I can't see anything wrong in the screenshot
How can i delete GUI that stored inside a variable to set new arguments for it.
Here's my code but it doesn't make the var. theme nil again
local function newTheme(theme,dialog)
theme:setVisible(false)
theme:delete()
theme = nil
theme = dialog.content:addCanvas{--args}
end
local function gui()
--create gui
--stuff
theme = dialog.content:addCanvas{--args}
--other stuff
newTheme(theme,dialog)
end
By @rocky geode
terse void
That first function should delete the canvas properly
But the last line is useless
Because theme is discarded after the function is done
Tables are a reference type in lua
It's kind of hard to explain
hollow flax
are the contents same in each themes? why you don't seperate the content and the theme?
local gui
local function content(parent)
-- content
end
local function theme1(name)
-- theme
content(parent)
end
local function theme2(name)
-- theme
content(parent)
end
-- call the main theme
theme1(gui)
-- to change the theme
gui:delete()
theme2(gui)```good idea
terse void
Having the API docs page open is a must
hollow flax
steel verge
Probably JSON error
terse void
you can also just specify a min version for your draft instead of all that script
steel verge
Dynamically defining drafts is a horrible idea
Trust my word, I use dynamically typed programming language
It's pain
hollow flax
i wonder why the draft is hidden using version?
i use Draft.append to make drafts easier with loops.
steel verge
inb4 Draft.append bypasses DraftLoader's comment remover method
hollow flax
actually, draft append only run while init.
terse void
i guess thats not the worst

rocky geode
May i ask why Tile.getBuildingDraft(x,y):getId() to check nearby tile drafts is not working on if statement in a building owning the script
local function main(x,y)
for i = x,20 do
local draft = Tile.getBuildingDraft(i,y):getId()
if draft == "$deco" then
Builder.remove(i,y)
end
end
end
function script:daily(x,y)
main(x,y)
end
because the tile is not building, occur an error, and break the script.

Is there a way to fix this?

Ohhh

what happens if I use .manifest plug-in in online mode and someone visits me?
rocky geode
A missing plugin dialog will appears with a download button
pseudo nymph
can they download it?
hollow flax
If you use plugin with manifest in online mode, it's normal. But, if you use plugin without manifest, it's a bug.
Afaik, you can't use plugin without manifest file in online mode.
Also the plugin will not appears on local tab in plugin store.

imo they should become required

Anyone know how to not make despawn the cable car plugin by montemarino?
I don't have that plugin but pretty it's because it targeted its own spawner, it will only be despawn if the creator make a start up and end up platform, since spawning cars are random
Or maybe a oneway cable tracks
As for now i guess avoid placing its own spawner next to the previous spawner 🤷♂️
