Hey im making my first plugin, still have to create the transparent background, but how do i code it so its all the the same building

tired escarp Jul 25, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

Make the background transparent. If it is a decoration u put on the city [ "draw ground":true, ] . Remove the brackets if u want to use the code but if it is a flying plane u don't need to put that code

How should i know whether the screen orientation was landscape or portrait

#

Not from the game settings, but like an event listener

weak mural Aug 5, 2022, 12:49 PM

#

screen height > screen width

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

I would check whenever the settings stage is exited, but that doesn't account for auto screen rotation

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

weak mural screen height > screen width

Doesn't account for Samsung z fold smh my head

weak mural Aug 5, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

height > width is to check the portrait orientation. if width >= height it must be landscape.

elfin geyser Aug 5, 2022, 2:00 PM

#

i think that's the only thing to do since game can't change orientation even you put values on the settings

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 3:27 PM

It's not a good idea to be changing a user's settings

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

havent you already done that in complex industry

elfin geyser Aug 5, 2022, 8:20 PM

It aligns properly caused I'd use addIcon{} but with drawingRect it messed up

elfin geyser Aug 5, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

potent jolt havent you already done that in complex industry

That's icon

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 8:21 PM

#

what args are you passing to drawrect

elfin geyser Aug 5, 2022, 8:22 PM

#

All parameters returned by onDraw() of addCanvas{}

potent jolt Aug 5, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

maybe use getpadding and getclient width/height so that you only use the inner available area

#

i think rn you ignore padding

elfin geyser Aug 5, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

addCanvas{
    w = 30, h = 30,
    onDraw = function (self, x, y, w, h)
        Drawing.setScale(1, 1)
        Drawing.drawRect( frame, x, y, w ,h)
        ...
    end
}

#

This what i did but the frame wont align properly

setclipping will cut off your drawing if it goes outside the area

@light plinth

Is it really doing require for modules make it as global module?

I really don't know if that matters but i had the same file call transit.lua both from different plugin, i tried doing require on pluginB for module transit.lua on its folder(pluginB folder) but instead i fetched the module from pluginA, i noticed that because i tried to execute some function inside transit module(from pluginB) but it toast an error that it does not exist so i tried to toast all the keys from fetched module on PluginB and it toast all the keys existing from PluginA module

elfin geyser Aug 18, 2022, 7:51 AM

#

Now i tried to disable PluginA and my PluginB works fine Again without errors

light plinth Aug 18, 2022, 8:03 AM

#

im sorry?

elfin geyser Aug 18, 2022, 8:53 AM

#

I mean i had pluginA and pluginB, they both has their own modules with same file name and owned main script controller to fetch their modules, File tree was PluginA next is B, I tried to fetch modules for PluginB but it fetches the module from PluginA even the path was at the pluginB folder

uncut field Aug 18, 2022, 12:57 PM

So it's getting the module from the wrong folder because both plugins use the a copy of the module?

does anyone here know how to make building ui? (override the default one so I can draw my own stuff when it's opened)

I'd like to leave the upgrade button, though... so it's probably not possible

if you use script:click and return false it wont make any dialog, if you want to make it completely custom

i am not using the wrapper script

this does mean i do not get script reloading

pretty

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

you probably shouldnt need require anytime soon

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:17 PM

#

if you want to share data between scripts i reccomend using city storage for niw

#

or you can use the draft call function

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:20 PM

#

okay

#

by the way, is there a way to make update unlocked only when the previous update is enabled?

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

what do you mean

#

if you want to disable a script, thats possible

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

so you need to buy update 1 before being able to buy update 2 (in a building)

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

oh

torpid spear Aug 29, 2022, 1:21 PM

you mean upgrade

so just upgrades

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:22 PM

oh yeah upgrade

bruh

(If I can add requirements to an upgrade)

ofc

weak mural Aug 29, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

random hamlet how, though, getting started links to this

just a bit scroll down this page, and you can find it.

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

i think you can put the requirement type as upgrade

#

i have some reference material somewhere

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

figured it out, I think it works now

#

for some reason a button doesnt work if I click it on the same Y as the upgrade button

#

if I click on the top of the check info button it works

#

if I click on the bottom it doesnt

#

huh

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

how did you add that check info button

#

that bottom row is the action button row for the dialog

#

my geuss is the click event goes to that layout instead of your button

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

just like this... (very lazy and I guess its wrong?)

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

you should add it to dialog.actions

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

alr

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

(im not sure if that naming is correct)

#

thing is whenever i add action buttons i do it when creating the dialog

#

i havent tried doing it after creation

weak mural Aug 29, 2022, 1:37 PM

dialog.controls, not content.

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 1:37 PM

ah

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:52 PM

cropped accidentally but the line below is Builder.remove(x,y)

hm

#

do you interact with bld afterwards

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:53 PM

no

its in a for loop btw

i forgot what triggers that error

but ive literally had it yesterday

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

please try remembering it later because I have no idea tf is happening bear_fire_st

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

well

#

its indicative that it errored inside the tt api

#

which is also why there is no error line

#

so, you mustve passed a incorrect argument to it

#

and it didnt catch it

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

I replaced it by getBuildingDraft... lol

weak mural Aug 29, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

building has not isValid function, and use colon ":" for get/set functions of the object.

ive had this happen yesterday, the error occurs inside the tt api

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

that's the point, I am not using any isValid function

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

complex industry has no isvalid calls

#

my geuss is

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

so I changed it to bld:getId()

#

and it worked

#

It's just me forgetting the syntax again

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

brug

#

ah

#

yea

#

that makes sense

#

if you use . it doesnt pass the building to getId

#

using : is equivalent to bld.getid(bld)

#

also

#

this implies building object has a undocumented isvalid function

weak mural Aug 29, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

yeah

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

hm, i need to figure out a way to retrieve all complex industry drafts

#

actually

#

callAll should suffice

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

where removeZone

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

good question

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

I was wondering what'll happen if I do Builder.buildZone(nil,x,y)

#

interesting

#

oh wait it actually removes the zone but I guess it reappears under the buildings?

#

yep it does

#

@potent jolt you can remove zones with builder

#

awesome

potent jolt Aug 29, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

ah right

#

Builds the specified zone draft or removes it if draft is nil.

#

its documented as well

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

Can I erase garbage from roads with lua?

#

I assumed it was a road deco

#

but removeRoadDeco doesnt work with it

#

smth like

if Tile.getRoadDraft(x,y)~=nil and Tile.countRoadDecos(x, y)==0 then
  local dr = Tile.getRoadDraft(x,y)
  Builder.remove(x,y)
  Builder.buildRoad(dr, x,y,x,y)
end

technically kinda works but fucks up bridges

light plinth Aug 29, 2022, 6:42 PM

It's a road occupation

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

ah okay

random hamlet Aug 29, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

random hamlet

now for some reason bld:isEmpty() (instead of not bld:isWorking()) causes the same error, weird

light plinth Aug 29, 2022, 7:46 PM

Check if Tile.isEmpty works

basically, building functions are all a wrapper to tile functions

just re-build it with the new onClick function.

potent jolt Aug 30, 2022, 1:16 PM

weak mural Aug 30, 2022, 1:19 PM

light plinth Aug 30, 2022, 2:14 PM

weak mural Aug 30, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

in general, you have to: get the gui object data (parent, w, h, so on) -> delete the object -> build the new object with the last data.

potent jolt Aug 30, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

well you see

#

the function callsign looks a little like

#


---@param arg table contain object value
--arg.h = height [optional]
--arg.color = table of rgb values [optional]
--arg.frame = NinePatch [optional]
--arg.padding = table of values [optional]
--arg.content = table of arguments [optional]
--arg.background = whether to toggle default background [optional]
----content.icon.icon = icon or frame [optional]
----content.icon.align = table of x & y float value
----content.label.text = text
----content.label.align = table of x & y float value
----content.label.color = table of rgb values [optional]
----content.value.text = text
----content.value.align = table of x & y float value
----content.value.colorize = boolean (set color same as label of has) [optional]
----content.value.color = table of rgb values [optional]
---@return GUI[] canvas/layout
function GuiUtils.addListboxItem(arg)

besides

i simply added support for onclick to the function itself

how

potent jolt Sep 3, 2022, 10:18 AM

(but how do I draw selection overlay with this)

potent jolt Sep 3, 2022, 10:28 AM

#

local currentHoverX, currentHoverY
function script:draw(tileX, tileY, hoverX, hoverY)
    if toPlaceFramesFinished then
        -- draw preview if on desktop (besides the performance hit on desktop isnt a problem)
        if platform == 'desktop' then
            currentHoverX = hoverX
            currentHoverY = hoverY
        end

        if validTile(tileX, tileY) then


        else
            -- mark unsuitable tile red
            Drawing.setTile(tileX, tileY)
            Drawing.drawTileFrame(Icon.TOOLMARK + 16 + 2)--what the funk is this even pointing to
        end
    end
end

#

i have this in my private version of text placer tool

#

it marks unsuitable tiles red

#

script:draw is called for every visible tile while in the tool

#

and you can use the undocumented Theotown.setToolfilter function to filter which tiles will be called or not

#

theres also TheoTown.setToolmarker but taht is undocumented as well

#

A TheoTown tool to plant trees. It's in the game since version 1.9.30 and serves as an example of how to use UI in a plugin. - TreePlanterTool/script.lua at 82257135963efef097a09645b61ef7ce...

it doesnt like unzooming though

potent jolt Sep 3, 2022, 10:47 AM

probably just smooth zooming artifacts

also maybe consider only drawing the border tiles

to save performance

theres a dedicated function for collecting those tiles

it should scale just fine when the dialog is made

there is no way to get fps?

I think it'd be cool to automatically close the popup if someone tried to render max resolution heightmap on a calculator and has like 2 fps for more than 5 seconds

but I'm probably overengineering this

how do i even start

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

look for the scripting tutorial ofc

#

getting started has a dedicated lua section

#

after you do the basic tutorial do real time script editing, its convenient in your case

function script:nexDay()
  some stuff here
end```

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

whyyy

#

at least the math.random works

#

what, i can't do this

#

@potent jolt you are my savior, please tell me what the heck am i supposed to do

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

wheres your declaration of xcoord

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

and

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

bro

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

what now

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

you just assigned the function building.getx to xcoord

#

instead of running the function

#

you tried to add 1 to building.getx

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

heck i'm dumb

#

okay then tell me how to get the x coordinate

#

lmao

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

observe

#

Building.getX()

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

:clueless:

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

also

#

first off

#

you can only call getX on a building object, not on the Building table itself

#

alright

#

so what do you want to do

#

spread piss?

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

yes

#

obviously

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

https://doc.theotown.com/modules/City.html#getBuilding

#

use script:getDraft() to get the draft the script is attached to

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

potent jolt https://doc.theotown.com/modules/City.html#getBuilding

should i just specify the index as 1 or what

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

misty python should i just specify the index as 1 or what

if you use index 1, you get the first building

#

whichever that is

#

cant say i know which one that will be

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

okay then how do i figure out what index should it be

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

read the doc

#

Gets the position of a specific building of a specific draft by it's index. The index starts with 1 and ranges up to City.countBuildings(draft).

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

to quote ian, anything works if you read the documentation carefully.

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:31 PM

#

you can just use a for loop and range up to the building count

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:36 PM

#

@potent jolt i'm dumb

#

how am i supposed to get the stuff that something a City.countBuildings(draft) would return?

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:37 PM

#

lol

#

you got the draft using script:getDraft() right

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

ye

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

then pass that to the countbuildings

#

and it gives a number

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

okay i think you might need to give me a little example

#

i learn best from those :)

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

for 0, buildingcount, 1 do
  get yer building
  do stuff with it
end

#

local draft = script:getDraft()
local buildingcount = City.countBuildings(draft)

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

thank

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

you can call getdraft in script:init instead

#

if you do it daily ja will break your kneecaps

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:40 PM

#

i would like to save my precious kneecaps

#

okay, but then if i get the coordinates with getbuilding, how can i make it so it spreads to a nearby tile

#

like, how can i modify one of the coords or smth

#

@potent jolt expect a lot of pings lol

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

lol

#

i got time

#

you can use the builder module

#

to build your draft on the other tile

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

potent jolt you can use the builder module

...buildBuilding, right?

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

ye

#

you might wanna use it to remove any building already present

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:50 PM

#

so

#

Builder.buildBuilding(draft, location)

#

how am i supposed to add to the location

#

let's say i have this right now @potent jolt

#

still not using a for loop but whatever

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

eh

#

why do you just

#

instead of calling the same thing 4 times

#

consider changing slimelocation and calling it once

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

misty python ```lua Builder.buildBuilding(draft, location) ```

documentation states a x and a y parameter for the function

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:54 PM

#

but my question is, how am i supposed to edit the coords returned by slimelocation

#

oh hang on, do i need to like, ```lua
Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeLocation, slimeLocation)

#

okay so i am starting to make some progress

#

it is spreading, but not in the way i like

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:56 PM

#

misty python but my question is, how am i supposed to edit the coords returned by slimelocati...

ah

#

you see

#

i thought youd have gotten this from roblox already

#

but functions in lua can return multiple values

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:57 PM

#

i might've, but i probably forgor

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:57 PM

#

city.getbuilding returns a x and a y paremter

#

you can recieve them like

#

slimex, slimey = getbuilding

#

right now slimelocation will just be the x coordinate

#

and youll discard the Y

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:57 PM

#

does it return as a table

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

no

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

how is it returned in my case

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

getbuilding returns x, y

#

2 return values

#

2 assignments

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

oh now i get it

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

local x, y = getbuilding

#

would work

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

okay this is weird

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

gotta point out that this is exclusively a lua thing

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

my result happens to be weird

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

lol

#

what did you do

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

typically it doesn't spread

#

but it only spreads in the 5 locations i originally put and that stayed while the script is updated

#

even if demolished it just reappears

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

lol

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

Also why calling City module outside functions

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

well where do you get the slimecount and locations

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

oh nice

#

now it works after relaunching the game

#

lol

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

Check your logs

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

oh god

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

did you enable script reloading

#

if you didnt

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

i did
