#

you need to restart for any changes to take effect

#

ah

#

then just save

#

also

#

reason it didnt work is cuz of your getbuilding call

#

you cant put it out there

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

it has to be in a function

#

?

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

yes

#

if its not in a function

#

its ran as soon as the draft is loaded

#

which is during startup

#

when youre not inside a city, when the city module wont exist

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

local randomDirection = 1
function script:nextDay()
    local slimeDraft = script:getDraft()
    local slimeCount = City.countBuildings(slimeDraft)
    local slimeX, slimeY = City.getBuilding(slimeCount, slimeDraft)
    randomDirection = math.random(1, 4)
    if randomDirection == 1 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX + 1, slimeY)
    elseif randomDirection == 2 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX - 1, slimeY)
    elseif randomDirection == 3 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX, slimeY + 1)
    elseif randomDirection == 4 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX, slimeY - 1)
    end
end

#

what is up with this weird spread

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

Call script:getDraft() outside so it can cached

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

probably a logic problem somewhere

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:13 PM

#

i mean

#

i can't be mad

#

the code is doing what i made it to do

#

but to be fair, this pisses me off

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

Yes not bad, it's because of yiur algorithm

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

ah

#

chief

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

Youre just getting the last slime building to be able to spread not all

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

youre always geting the last built piss

#

dont you want to spread all piss

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:15 PM

#

i sure do, mate

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:15 PM

#

loop involvement

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

ah, for loop time?

#

i love those

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

Yes

#

Don't forget a timer for them to dissolve after

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

wait() 🧌

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

Lol

#

That's forbidden function isn't?

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

no dissolve

#

only piss

#

nuke it to contain

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

Dangerous

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:21 PM

#

okay so now

#

how do i make it spread in all directions

#

@potent jolt hlpe

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

lol

#

are you sure its not just spreading that way due to sheer chance

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

yes

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

After that You may want to list all possible directions in a table so you get rid of 8lines of if statements

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

i've tested it multiple times

#

okay maybe to be more exact

#

how do i make it so all slimes do something

#

all pisses

#

piss blocks

light plinth Oct 3, 2022, 9:24 PM

elfin geyser After that You may want to list all possible directions in a table so you get ri...

sounds like more effort than its worth

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:25 PM

#

Nahh it's just a table with 4 elements

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:25 PM

#

misty python how do i make it so all slimes do something

script:daily

#

4 elements of what though

#

and what then, check them with an if?

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:25 PM

#

No

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:25 PM

#

im not putting functions in tables

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:26 PM

#

local randomDirection = 1
local slimeDraft = script:getDraft()
function script:nextDay()
    local slimeCount = City.countBuildings(slimeDraft)
    local slimeX, slimeY = City.getBuilding(slimeCount, slimeDraft)
    randomDirection = math.random(1, 4)
    if randomDirection == 1 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX + 1, slimeY)
    elseif randomDirection == 2 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX - 1, slimeY)
    elseif randomDirection == 3 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX, slimeY + 1)
    elseif randomDirection == 4 then
        Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraft, slimeX, slimeY - 1)
    end
end

#

once again, what could cause only the most recent block spread

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:28 PM

#

dir = {
[1] = {-1, 1}, ... }
}

for i = 1, slimeCount do
   local x, y  = City.getBuilding(i, slimeDraft)
  local frame = Tile.getBuildingFrame(x, y)
Builder.buildBuilding(slimeDraaft,x + dir[frame][1], y + dir[frame][2])
end

Just something like

misty python Oct 3, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

you know what

#

i'll revisit this tomorrow, i need sleep

potent jolt Oct 3, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

misty python once again, what could cause only the most recent block spread

youre only getting 1 building

#

and its the one with the highest index

#

you need to put your spreading code in a loop

elfin geyser Oct 3, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

Ima rest too

#

Bye

uncut field Oct 4, 2022, 12:19 AM

I use tables for that all the time

#

It's good for making switch statements

uncut field Oct 4, 2022, 12:45 PM

Hey

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 12:46 PM

#

12hrs nice

potent jolt Oct 4, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

i do use lookup tables

#

just when youre nesting them for something like this

#

just a bit too much if you ask me

misty python Oct 4, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

potent jolt you need to put your spreading code in a loop

okay so now how should that work

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

didnt i sent the gist?

misty python Oct 4, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

let's say

#

no table

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

remove the build part and put your if statements

misty python Oct 4, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

screw it

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

dont forget how you acquired slimeCount

#

local slimeDraft = script:getDraft()

function script:nextDay()
  local slimeCount = City.countBuilding(slimeCount)
  for i = 1, slimeCount do
    local x, y  = City.getBuilding(i, slimeDraft)
    local frame = Tile.getBuildingFrame(x, y)
    -- if statements
  end
end

it works now

#

epic coder moment

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

theres still missing

misty python Oct 4, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

it still spreads somewhat oddly but it's way better than before

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

needs to check whether the draft was already been placed to the assumed dir

misty python Oct 4, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

the slime tends to spread in the directions that are in red

#

after it spreads fully in the red directions, only then it starts to normally spread to the blue direction

elfin geyser Oct 4, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

did the script attached to the building ?

Is it good or not to keep strict lua on in production?

weak mural Dec 5, 2022, 2:41 PM

#

strict lua is good for debuging, but you can't do anything.

#

not using strict will pass the error, but you don't know the error.

strict lua has no effect on the LuaWrapper for minor errors.

potent jolt Dec 5, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

i prefer to keep it on as it makes the script fail earlier, which could make it easier to track down the issue

#

otherwise you might get cases where your script wont work anymore

#

and it might write incorrect data to storage tables

#

which could permanently brick your plugin

weak mural Dec 5, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

yes, use strict lua will show this error: #bugs-n-crashes message

if not, will show this error or nothing: #plugin-support message

potent jolt Dec 5, 2022, 3:23 PM

also hence why complex industry is so eager to throw errors

Because you don't need access to that. Simple as that.

May i ask... Does fun functionality with build types for road deco has significant effect with multi-deco support turned on in settings.. The old way for road deco having 'type:build' for another kind of deco on its fun was it removes itself to build the called draft. I'm thinking if it stacks when the multi-deco support are involved

i think it will be better if only the fundamental parts to be unaccesible. it will be better if we can enhance some modules, like table to add clone or merge functions, or Drawing to add custom functions, than duplicating Drawing and drawing or table and Table bear_shrug

#

yeah, with itteration to extract all functions into a new module.

#

same like the draft orig. since there are no functions to change like title, text, etc, without privileged code. and only protect the object like monthly price.

Nice nice, whats your plan for on click function

potent jolt Dec 9, 2022, 10:45 AM

data tags can be of any type

#

so you can use it to define an onclick as well

#

still need to write an example script for it

potent jolt Dec 9, 2022, 11:04 AM

added an example script that used the onclick function

elfin geyser Dec 9, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

'draft:getContent()' was returned in the game for data drafts i think it's better to use that as it returns the whole raw json of the draft

light plinth Dec 9, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

That's not stored

elfin geyser Dec 9, 2022, 1:04 PM

#

What is it mean?

light plinth Dec 9, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

Raw json of drafts are not stored in the memory

#

They get loaded and immediately discarded

elfin geyser Dec 9, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

But i see he used loader function of the draft at init() to store the contents (provided inside the meta table) in his module

light plinth Dec 9, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

Metadata IS stored in the memory

#

Same with data drafts

#

their original contents get stored

#

Other drafts get their properties parsed and validated by the game and then raw values discarded

elfin geyser Dec 9, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

Damn i can't even explain in English properly what im trying to explain, m let's settle it here

potent jolt Dec 9, 2022, 2:38 PM

#

elfin geyser But i see he used loader function of the draft at init() to store the contents (...

the module has loadTable and loadComponent available if you wish to define your components in another way

#

i just picked the meta table since that lets me define arbitrary data

elfin geyser Dec 9, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

Makes sense

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 12:05 PM

#

Hey rate my optimized way for go signals timer for busses after it pickups a passenger at station, this loops was called every day

for carId, obj in pairs(CARSPEED) do
    obj.countdown = obj.countdown - 1
    if obj.countdown <= 0 then
        pcall(function() obj.car:setSpeed(obj.orig_speed) end)
        CARSPEED[carId] = nil
    end
end

#

I come up with this idea instead of relying on postpone function

weak mural Dec 11, 2022, 12:53 PM

#

use postpone.
don't use pcall.

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

instead of using pcall you should just check if orig_speed is a valid input

#

pcall incurs significant overhead when it errors

#

also, you couldve done ```lua
pcall(obj.car.setSpeed, obj.car, obj.orig_speed)

#

saving the overhead of an intermediate function call

#

also generally uppercase variables names should be used for constant values

#

but thats just code style

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

weak mural 1. use postpone. 2. don't use pcall.

I thought it will execute at the main thread, and if there's alot of postponed the game performance will be slower

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 2:05 PM

#

potent jolt also, you couldve done ```lua pcall(obj.car.setSpeed, obj.car, obj.orig_speed) `...

Does the space between setSpeed and obj.car is a valid syntax?

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 2:06 PM

my bad, thats supposed to be a comma

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 2:06 PM

I see

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 2:07 PM

it passes the car as an argument

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

the : notation might work but idk

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

May use dot to be sure

#

But is it really true that using postpone function has affect on game performance?

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 3:16 PM

#

of there is an effect, but is it a problem

uncut field Dec 11, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

You could optimize it more if you didn't have to use pairs ()

#

I believe regular for loops are faster

#

But maybe that's not possible here

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

Not possible since i used keys

uncut field Dec 11, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

Oof

#

Makes sense tho

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 3:25 PM

#

I think it's more optimized since i don't have to iterate and compare each value to get the given id

potent jolt Dec 11, 2022, 3:35 PM

#

optimization is cool and all

#

but why not take a step back and check if your script actually used a meaningful amount of frame time

#

excess optimization can really hurt readability and complexity

elfin geyser Dec 11, 2022, 3:40 PM

#

There's nothing to optimize now

#

Other heavy loads was up to the user how they can minimize their transit/route count

potent jolt Jan 25, 2023, 10:53 AM

have you got any basic knowledge on lua?

#

your script would look a little something like ```lua

function script:draw(x, y)
-- here we can check whether it is night time

-- then draw the lighting ontop of the building
end

my worst plugin yet is a tool to put together the exact road you want and it works by adding hidden road drafts for EVERY possible combination during startup ._.

#

think I'll have to go for plan b and just force a restart after crafting a road and then only load the ones during startup the user wants, cause every new option right now would mean an exponential increase of roads to be loaded in lmao

potent jolt Apr 2, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

what are you going to use it for

#

if you want a custom dialog entirely i can point you to script:click

#

which wont create a dialog if you return false

#

so you can make your own

It has been a while since I accidentally found a plugin that contained nocturnal animation in it so that when it got dark I put the lights or textures at night but Alava removed the building And only the luses were left, there were floating around, I don't know how I did it, I forgot, I hope someone knows how to do that, I also lost the puglin when I deleted everything by accident: (

If it's wrong don't report me. Just tell me and I'll delete it please excuse me

I'm thinking how I could add visible path on roads for my TX plugin upon selecting routes

noble hedge Jul 8, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

What if the path keeps changing?

elfin geyser Jul 8, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Yup that's what im thinking since TX bases its "reachable" or "unreachable" state if the test car spawn to reach specific target. I'm thinking of making a 999 speed test car to collect all tiles that car used on its path however its seems unguaranteed due to uncontrollable how system use to calculate path for i-car

elfin geyser Jul 8, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

noble hedge What if the path keeps changing?

How system calculate path for i-car is beyond our control

noble hedge Jul 8, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

I wonder if the changing path is proportional to changing reachable/unreachable state, im thinking to my traffic lights

elfin geyser Jul 8, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

You're relating my TX on your traffic lights?

noble hedge Jul 8, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Im guessing if all roaddecos or roads affect the behavior of the road, does it affect the path?

#

say, we can control the dirs:[] of the road, indefinetly

#

does it change all current paths available?

elfin geyser Jul 8, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

No it's not the car will just disappeared from a long 0 speed made by road decos

noble hedge Jul 8, 2023, 5:39 PM

What if we put 0.0000001 on a road deco, do car will disappear by being on it for a long time?

#

gonna try that

elfin geyser Jul 8, 2023, 5:47 PM

car paths dont change once created, im fairly sure

potent jolt Jul 8, 2023, 6:06 PM

elfin geyser Yup that's what im thinking since TX bases its "reachable" or "unreachable" stat...

frankly that sounds too wonky and unstable to be viable to me

noble hedge Jul 8, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

then if the car is running on the path that have a road changing behavior (say, the direction of the road changes to opposite directions), the car despawn instantly on that road

potent jolt Jul 8, 2023, 6:18 PM

Unlikely to get a separate method other than the current smart car system as the pathfinding process is asynchronous and could not even be completed in some cases.

an array of coordinates of corners/intersections i suppose

kinda depends on the way that data is stored in the game

also, if your docs don't say anything about structure you're looking at the wrong docs

But you're talking about training, how do I train without compiling?

#

can you just say how to fix it, to understand how it works, I basically decided to try to write such a script to understand about working with lua in theotown, I'm trying to find information about lua programming inside theotown, but all I can find is this site https://doc.theotown.com/modules.

#

I'm looking for lua training, but it means learning lua in general as a programming language, not a word about private modules like programming in theotown, it doesn't help me much.
