Scrifen -- Hafen scripting API

[b0r3d0m]

btw, it shows that chat message functions are not defined for me when I'm trying to use them and yes, I have the newest client available from the post
sendVillageChatMessage('test');

are you using "g.sendVillageChatMessage('test');"? i noticed a lot of functions don't work without the 'g.' part hehe

Yeah. All functions related to the game interface should be called via the game reference.

Your client is great, keep up the good work!
Just one thing, it would be way better if we could create several scripts and load/stop them ingame, like union client used to be!
Thanks!

You can use `onUserInput` API event at the moment and I will definitely think about adding some GUI elements later.

amber by default has a mapobject select thingy by alt-right click that makes the object glow red for a moment. is it possible to have a method to list or get the objects selected in such a manner?

it is used by the amber auto survey bot to select stockpiles for dirt placement

Added, see `onMapObjectHighlight` API event and `getHighlightedMapObjects` API function.

Please note that you should define the `onMapObjectHighlight` function starting from now even if you don't want to handle it.

How is onUserInput supposed to work?

Code: Select all

function onUserInput(input) {
	if(input == "bots"){
		print('Bots:\n chopper');  
	}else if(input == "chopper"){
		startChopperBot();
	}
}

I tried it like this, but when i type :bots or :chopper, nothing happens.

I also think that the select character function isnt working if your char has ~ or ´ in his name.

@edit
Ok, the input has to be on the cmd prompt. My bad.

@suggestion
Add a "waitCurrent()" or similar, that waits the current action to finish.

@code
Here is a function i made to check whether its a tree.

Code: Select all

function isTree(tree) {
  return tree == "alder" || tree == "appletree" || tree == "ash" || tree == "aspen" || tree == "baywillow" || tree == "beech" || tree == "birch" ||
  tree == "birdcherrytree" || tree == "buckthorn" || tree == "cedar" || tree == "cherry" || tree == "chestnuttree" || tree == " conkertree" || 
  tree == "corkoak" || tree == "crabappletree" || tree == "cypress" || tree == "elm" || tree == "fir" || tree == "goldenchain" || tree == "hazel" ||
  tree == "hornbeam" || tree == "juniper" || tree == "kingsoak" || tree == "larch" || tree == "laurel" || tree == "linden" || tree == "maple" ||
  tree == "mulberry" || tree == "oak" || tree == "olivetree" || tree == "peatree" || tree == "pine" || tree == "planetree" || tree == "plumtree" ||
  tree == "poplar" || tree == " rowan" || tree == "sallow" || tree == "spruce" || tree == "sweetgum" || tree == "walnuttree" || tree == " whitebeam" ||
  tree == "willow" || tree == "yew"; // etc
}

Added, see `waitForTaskToFinish` API function in the updated client.

}

Are you sure that there should be whitespace character at the beginning of trees names like " conkertree", " rowan" and " whitebeam"?

I also think that the select character function isnt working if you char has ~ or ´ in his name.

Sounds strange. Do you receive any error output for such characters?

No. It just says "Selection Character", but doesnt select it.

Nope, there should not! Thanks, heh.
