hmmm
random hamlet
I downloaded some lua coding thing and learned if conditions and stuff
potent jolt
hard to not be memory safe when you keep all your variables
light plinth
What you want to start with is C++
light plinth
Scratch is garbage
potent jolt
imagine not knowing c#
light plinth
It introduces to programming concepts, yes
random hamlet
I mean it's for children
misty python
io.write("hello, world!")
so were where we
light plinth
I started with Java
potent jolt
excellent code

full of bugs im afraid
misty python
sounds about right
potent jolt
although c# is my first real programming language
misty python

potent jolt
when i did arduino i didnt properly know what i was doing

anyways, i think knowing how to write a hello world message in lua is enough knowledge to get me through this whole theotown lua thing

plugin fun?
potent jolt
plugin and fun are not words that go together
misty python
thanks, lobby, for that very useful comment
misty python
hm
light plinth
Proprietary?
light plinth
Fun isn't even fun
potent jolt
it doesnt exist outside of plugins right
light plinth
Just like the Draft objects
light plinth
guessing its been kinda abandoned now that lua exists
DSA still uses them
potent jolt
it oozes legacy feel
potent jolt
DSA still uses them
i noticed
with pidroid
for as far as im concerned
fun is not understandable to mortals
light plinth
Pidroid is what you call technology from the 1970's
potent jolt
yeah like 5 lines

its your code

No, locking a thread which is an instance of Db isn't a good idea

I will try to make the code more fancy
it wasnt fancy before but
wow I killed the english grammar again, ops
dude I am too lazy to paint for this
open arch
how do I put veriables into tables
potent jolt
Table.spot = variable
Or table['spot'] = variable
Or table.insert(table, position, variable)
But thats only for number keys
open arch
I just wanted to add some veriable number into notification
open arch
after 2 or more hours I have set the balance of the plugin and now the codes look more meaningful
is there anything that I can turn the calculations I made into an app using lua
hmm yes now I have 8 notifications for false combinations and factory stops with the right informations and also for one new thing
weak mural
Or table.insert(table, position, variable)
or
local tableName = {
firstKey = int,
secondKey = "string",
thirdKey = false
}```
torpid spear
City.showNotification{
-- Image for the notification, can be extracted from a draft using :getFrame
icon = frameDraft:getFrame(1),
-- Text of the notification
text = 'count:'..variable..'lol'
}```won't this work?
torpid spear
depends on what do you want to achieve
random hamlet
how do I put an optional argument in a function? I tried TheoTown.playSound(chosenSound, loop=true) and it didn't work for some reason
what's the right syntax?
nvm, let me try one thing
TheoTown.playSound(chosenSound[[loop=true]])
this looks weird
but doesn't error at least
nah doesn't work even after i changed it
@potent joltsorry for dumb question but how do I apply parameter?
and skip volume
potent jolt
you put TheoTown.playSound(chosenSound, true)
random hamlet
I mean
there is a volume parameter
won't this apply to it instead of 3rd parameter?
light plinth
optional parameters are nil by default
random hamlet
this didn't work for me
light plinth
that way if for example you have a function and you only need the last parameter
you do it like
TheoTown.playSound(chosenSound, nil, true)
random hamlet
okay, thanks
random hamlet
the plugin works on phone... but the sound is weird for some reason:(
mabe It cut off the sound when I exported it to .plugin
nah it doesn't on pc
wtf is with phones
yeah on mobile sound starts playing and then restarts
like half of it is cut out
open arch
@potent jolt hmm strange, the notifications I put in my script:nextMonth are poping up every day even tho I dont have a script:nextDay. Is this how this is intended to be?
potent jolt
have you reloaded it
open arch
what happens is, it does start showing notification once new month starts and then continues to send same notification ever day in this month if the problem isnt fixed
misty python
although come to think of it, i barely understand lua, so i'm just gonna take my time and read through those tutorials and then probably make some simple lua plugin, maybe a new disaster or sth
open arch
Some comments on forum about some of my coding problems
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=176394#p176394
although I am not gonna work on codes for a time, my mind is heated up and eyes are bleeding. Might work on textures when I am feeling okay
potent jolt
as long as you understand general object oriented coding concepts you should be fine
open arch
I dont even know what you are talking about, I shouldnt be fine then
you guys should be making fun of me in a hidden channel
light plinth
ooc? never heard of it
open arch

misty python
you guys should be making fun of me in a hidden channel
you bet
potent jolt
well ok maybe not object oriented
but in general
how lua works
and how it interacts with theotown
open arch
I see, soo you meant that I have to know how functions, veriables and tables work and also making them a lot more compact?
I just want the annoying notifications popup once a month and not once a day in a month
weak mural

how do I put those to tables?
open arch
Today I couldnt stand and tried to fix notifications, now again I am fed up with theotown plugin making.....
open arch
What do you mean
I wanted to make a notification for all stuff. Like if there are two stuff have to be fixed there will be one notification with the right sentences
random hamlet
Today I couldnt stand and tried to fix notifications, now again I am fed up with...
what's your code?
And can you remind why does it need to be sent every month?
open arch
It is city. notification and I want it to only send once a month and not every day of a month otherwise it is annoying
It is in scrip next month, it does start poping up once it is next month but looks like we cant really control notifications without estra codes to stop it
random hamlet
Is it in some condition or something?
potent jolt
you shouldnt do popups anyways
unless theres an actual problem
or it requires the player attention
not for monthly income
random hamlet
Is your notification for reporting a problem?
open arch
It is for attention otherwise spends increase, factory stops or calculated income is negative at year's end
light plinth
unless theres an actual problem
DSA: am I a joke to you
random hamlet
wdym how does it work?
Do your spends increase at usual?
and you need to do something about it every month?
open arch
Spends increase if there are too many chimneys per factory soo a notification comes and warns you about it
random hamlet
so this should popup only if there is too many chimneys?
open arch
And also if players has too many bfg silos for blast furnace because they increase income but for balance I wanted to limit them
open arch
Might have to do it to release this plugin earlier
random hamlet
I have a small urge to draw but it's not big enough for me to actually start drawing
open arch
Or I can make a gui ๐ค that has a factory theme. It shows problems and estimated income yearly income
random hamlet
gui?
it's harder but it's cool
make it viewable from that skyscraper
so it's like hq or something
open arch
Wont it be easier? I could just use drawing with enable disable function once player presses on skyscraper (or accountants office) it shows it
I can even make my own gui and it wont occupy space on screen
random hamlet
I just assumed, I was going to learn gui soon but don't know much for now
open arch
Kulche taught me how to make coordinates on screen also with the tutorial at forum and enable disable scripts it shouldnt be hard I guess
uncut field
I would probably show a notification like yours once a year
One month passes by quite fast in TheoTown
I tried doing a similar thing with the prison expansion
open arch
But income also comes at the end of year, If I make it yearly than people wont realise their factory wasnt working
potent jolt
You can display a warning sign if it's not working
Similar to the warnings that appear on buildings with problems
potent jolt
No you'll have to draw that yourself
open arch
Oh I see
random hamlet
how do I fix this stupid fence overriding my pretty diagonal roof
to make it more understandable

i once tried to replace game ui with dark ones and most of them were unreadable
I can't edit color of the text so easily sadly
potent jolt
Yeah there's no way to make the game draw text differently
random hamlet
make it just dark grey
potent jolt
oh ok so the plugin creators will have to implement the dark mode
that could easily lead to inconsistent ui if you dont provide premade frames

backwards compatability
i say as i change the way my bot config is setup almost every update
light plinth
my bot config is the only backwards compatible feature
stoic vector
What does Vector do in the game?
potent jolt
a Vector can represent a lot of things
a vector is an object holding an x y and z value
you can use them for example to calculate the distance between 2 points
in my camera tool i use them for the cameras location, its target location etc
and also the distance it moves per frame
they have a z axis but if you dont need it you can just not use it
for example
local vector1 = Vector(0, 1) -- makes a vector with x 0 and y 1
local vector2 = Vector(2, 1)
local vector3 = vector1 + vector2 -- will create a vector with values x 2 and y 2
vector3.x -- is 2
you can also easily get the lenght of these vectors
red sedge
Well Vector in programming is most often used as coordinates
red sedge
yeah that
potent jolt
you can do some funky maths with it
much cleaner than doing lua local x1, y1 = 0, 1 etc..
see my script using vectors
**subject to change
also probably not the best code
-- current camera location
camera.location = nil
-- the distance between the camera's current position and the target position
camera.targetDelta = nil
-- the distance moved per frame
camera.frameDelta = nil
-- the target position for the camera
camera.target = nil
``` are all vectors heretheyre given values later
random hamlet
Vectors are some math sticks which are used too often in coding
Example: "huh so vector is just a math stick/smartass line? This is useless"
Tries to code something
"I was wrong"
By the way, there are scripts to move camera? @potent jolt
light plinth
vectors make the game 3d
potent jolt
Imagine using the 3rd dimension
potent jolt
By the way, there are scripts to move camera? <@308903727928967169>
You can use City.setView I'm pretty sure
valid scales are 4, 2, 1, .5 and .25
with a higher number meaning more zoom
open arch
3rd dimension in theotown is like 4th dimension in reallife
potent jolt
you could use it for like
2 level ground decos
i guess
or ground level
but im pretty sure there isnt really any lua api functions around height

if I remember correctly I always used Drawing in script:update

hm
i remember having to move my drawing functions elsewhere
ah right
that was because of the build menu
while in building mode the black line grid will overlap with any drawings
if you draw in update instead of drawcity
uncut field
if I remember correctly I always used Drawing in script:update
So do I
potent jolt
yeah i couldnt because of building mode
just keep it mind that your drawing will not be drawn correctly then

still reccomend doing it in drawcity so the drawing order will always be correct

elder glacier
Guys can someone send me a sample of a night frame code?
random hamlet
I am not on computer but I can leave a tip
It's just like a normal animation, but with "light":true and "light switching":true tags
(hope I am not wrong)
And everything else is just like any other animation
elder glacier
@random hamlet wait wait wait how about that "y" coordinate?
random hamlet
Ah
Well it's a bit tricky
Kulche sent a picture
All anims have y thing, though
elder glacier
@random hamlet can u pls sent that pic?
random hamlet
1 second
elder glacier
K
random hamlet
elder glacier
Tks
random hamlet
So, 0 height is at leftest point
And the taller it is the lower negative number goes
elder glacier
K i wish i could understand this
random hamlet
It's not that hard
I am not good at explaining
Basically 0 is at left. And the higher your picture goes, the lower number gets
I guess -10 y makes your anim hover 10 pixels above the center of "plate"
Have you made building floors using animations? @elder glacier
elder glacier
@random hamlet no
random hamlet
This is another useful thing
It saves plugin space a lot
Basically, you need to draw only one floor of your building
And then just stack it with code
It's good if you have repetitive texture
You need to have building base as frame, a lot of floors code as anim and top of building as anim
I'll write a tutorial once I figure out cords
Also it makes the texture easier to manage IMO, by the way

any chance dialog this big won't fit on mobile?
or it's automatically scaled?
@potent jolt sorry for ping again but I remember you posting about using dialog for GUI stuff
how do you add stuff on it?

any chance dialog this big won't fit on mobile?
cant you just test it yourself

I hacked into tree planter code
analysed it
and figured out adding stuff on dialog

@weak mural I'm making a GUI plug-in and I was wondering how I could make a window similar to yours. I noticed that yours is always anchored to the side of the screen and doesn't pause the game. Would you mind giving me a few pointers?
potent jolt
If draw just the 9patch it shouldn't pause the game
weak mural
here you go.

how do I properly put stuff on dialogs?
I want to make something like this example (put different functional widgets)
Maybe I'll figure out the placement
but buttons just close it, even though they aren't assigned to anything
(I checked, they close it)
potent jolt
Create 1 vertical layout for the lines
Then for each line make a horizontal layout
And add your labels and text fields to that
potent jolt
What do you mean button problem
potent jolt
the button closes the dialog
Then put autoclose on false
random hamlet
okay
on button or a dialog?
I guess button, based on docs
...or maybe dialog because button disappeared
nah that's a bad idea
random hamlet
found it
I forgot that I switched placement and that's why is there no button

I made a button which opens menu somewhere

sour sable
how do i get started on plugins using lua
and what is the use for it anyway besides ui
potent jolt
and what is the use for it anyway besides ui
lua can do most things like placing buildings, move the camera, playing sounds etc
sour sable
ah ok
potent jolt
there isnt much you cant do with it

well it should be a simple switch from python to lua right

now that sounds like a job for OP plugin detector
speaking of which
when is the plugin coming

what about 5* mayor dlc?

that does exist
but its far from finished
i gotta work on that again
i could clap that op plugin thingie out in like 2 days probably

to force a user out of a tool

open arch
Did you mean the old time on my project?
no I mean how you buy stuff and use
a storage system
random hamlet
What plugin are you talking about?
elfin geyser
It's nothing to do with the ingame demand system, Just a variable to store that unit then store it ingame and reload it when launched
open arch
Is there any open-source code about this?
soo you dont use tables? I am sorry kinda newbie
elfin geyser
soo you dont use tables? I am sorry kinda newbie
Yes
elfin geyser
Is there any open-source code about this?
As of now there's not but you may refer to the theotown api
open arch
hmm
elfin geyser
I think the best example is the tree planter tool open sourced by lobby
open arch
I am struggling to understand it but I guess it needs time
open arch
I think the best example is the tree planter tool open sourced by lobby
Does it have a storage system? I mean something similar to that
elfin geyser
The tree planter also stores data ingame and reload it again you may get the idea if you figure it out
open arch
oh okay thank you soo much
elfin geyser
It has by getting theotown storage
open arch
but it uses a slider to feed it right? Soo I want to make it have a speed to increase the numbers
like a producing building
potent jolt
As of now there's not but you may refer to the theotown api
you dont use the storage table?
oh nvm just read the rest
potent jolt
Does it have a storage system? I mean something similar to that
city and theotown storage tables persist between sessions
elfin geyser
I didn't have the link of tree planter tool but im pretty sure there's a comment that will guide you to understand the structure
open arch
my other question is have you ever used city spawn car and target reached codes?
elfin geyser
Clueless about that
potent jolt
yeah i havent used that either
open arch
I am thinking to just use car spawning and target reached function bypassing a storage system
also find it more interactive
elfin geyser
Is this for your steel mill?
potent jolt
it would ensure that road connections are required
open arch
Is this for your steel mill?
yes
potent jolt
but you still need the storage table to make sure the values are stored
for the next time the user starts
open arch
was going to use conveyors, rails, and trucks for it. Gotta be fun but couldn't make it work
open arch
but you still need the storage table to make sure the values are stored
ah can't I just make target reached signal a timer and spawn another truck, cycle goes on
elfin geyser
Well good luck you can ask me for some instances you can't understand but you can ask ian for better understanding
potent jolt
ah can't I just make target reached signal a timer and spawn another truck, cycl...
you can
but you still have to keep track of the timers in the storage table
unless you reset them
elfin geyser
Well i guess he wanted to make a stone dealership
light plinth
lol
open arch
stone dealership what
potent jolt
excellent idea
light plinth
flintstones plugin when?
elfin geyser
Nvm just like a mine industry that you can trade stones from what steel mill mines
potent jolt
ah
yeah i thought hed have rescource storage
and trucks would be sent out when they reach a certain level
open arch
just a modulable port and factory components. I dont want to make mining things now. Cant even make notifications works properly
open arch
but you still have to keep track of the timers in the storage table
storage? why
I kinda forgor how to write lua but there was a code like " for 0,1000"
potent jolt
so that the user can quit and load without it resetting the timers or other values

So this is lua? Not looking like what I have seen so far tho

its a declaration of a very large table

drop your script here, so we can know
random hamlet
some stuff like get first part were different because I was randomly changing stuff
erksmit said to create vertical layout and then horizontal but I could've misunderstood
but probably I am doing it wrong
so annoyed
can someone help?
how do I even place stuff on dialog
properly
weak mural
the problem is the height of the "vertical" layout. delete it or make it bigger.
weak mural
can you share all of your scripts?
weak mural
you can use getFirst/Center/LastPart() if needed and not using x/y. idk what your problems if i can't see your script.
random hamlet
I tried changing them but it didn't work
(from first part to center or last)
@weak mural what are you using to show window?
I mean what your window actually is?
potent jolt
You did not specify a width for your text frame
random hamlet
a
weak mural
<@!707358755100164106> what are you using to show window?
that's an only panel, addCanvas.
random hamlet
I thought of using it but erksmit said I can use dialog
random hamlet
well I think making closing function and blur n pause n stuff is a bit tricky
or they're there
idk
weak mural
dialog is easier to use than you build new one
weak mural
for this, you need to add getFirstPart() after the parent.
on your script is vertical
weak mural
there's no size limits, but they are follow the parent size and padding as default.
random hamlet
I have get first part in buttons code
and in text
when I changed layouts to this just to check
it did this
random hamlet
not really
how do I figure out placing stuff properly
and how to set up layouts for this
potent jolt
Can you show the result you want?
