Patches for Stratagus 2.2.7

[Mikko Merikivi]

Use these as you like. I'm not confident enough in my programming abilities to commit them to Stratagus so I'll spam the forums instead.


Patch name: checkdependencies.txt

Description:
Check if dependencies are met. Returns true if they are and false if not.

Usage:
CheckDependency(player, object)

Example:
CheckDependency(AiPlayer(), "upgrade-dwarves-level2")


Patch name: formations.txt

Description:
The functionality to change what commands do, a.k.a. the formation system. I've included a full example of its usage in the documentation. Also includes the function GetSelection() which creates a table with the ID's of units we have selected. For multiple formations, you are also going to need the patch buttonluacall.txt.

Usage:
See the documentation.

Example:
See the documentation.


Patch name: buttonluacall.txt

Description:
Call a LUA function when a button is pressed.

Usage:
In DefineButton,
Action = "call-function", Value = "LuaFunctionToBeCalled",

Example:
function FormationBoxFormation ()
formation = 1
end

DefineButton( { Pos = 11, Level = 0, Icon = "boxformation",
Action = "call-function", Value = "FormationBoxFormation",
Key = "c", Hint = _("BOX FORMATION"),
ForUnit = {"*"} } )

applied (with some modification) the dependencies patch in rev.8832

You better to add them into launchpad next time, they risk to be lost in the forum...

thanks, by the way

Is there a "patches" tab somewhere or are you suggesting I commit them directly to the version control system? Because I wouldn't trust my code to be any good.


Also, the buttonluacall patch was added. It's hastily coded since as was told in the Customizable button functions thread, a functionality to do so already exists in the trunk version of Stratagus. However, in my opinion the solution sounded like a very convoluted way of calling a function when a button is pressed so I made this patch nevertheless. If it becomes redundant in the future versions of Stratagus, it won't be a big deal to me that way.
