OpenRA

Thank you! And happy new year!

What is exact distance, where is still possible to build new structure? In Dune 2000. I try to understand the rule. Maybe even to read source code... if it is not difficult. Sometimes it is possible to build "concrete", but it is not possible to build new structure at the same place. I understand th...

First of all, thank you for new playtest 2020 12 13 ! I see, it was added "crates" in "Map Editor". I like it :-) And ... a problem . In Dune 2000, I found that Sardaukars do "Attack Move" in strange way. When enemy unit is situated forward, then Sardaukars can stay. "Light infantry" do "Attack Move...

I don't think the 'table' function is blocked by our sandbox, so I'd just try if that works in OpenRA. I tried. OpenRA returns nearly the same error (as os.date) for table.concat too. [string "harkonnen09b.lua"]:547: attempt to call field 'concat' (a nil value) So I thought, may be I must include s...

Thank you. I read about tables now. About table.concat() . http://lua-users.org/wiki/TableLibraryTutorial This is example for command line. And it work in my command line, Lua 5.1.5. > = table.concat({ 1, 2, "three", 4, "five" }) 12three4five It returns one string from all table values. Can it work ...

I read about Lua in general now. About the Standard Libraries. Here is a chapter "Date and Time" : https://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html I try to use function os.date() . It must return string or table with date and/or time data. Can I use this function in any game lua files? I try to write like this: v...

Thank you very much! It works.

Thank you.
So I found that, by default, tags are off. And I need to write in Rules.yaml, for light infantry, for example : Can I write text for tag in yaml too?

I already found function for Lua:
AddTag(string tag) - Add a tag to the actor.

Would you like to explain me? What is the tag?
This is string. So I can write any text for some objects, right? Like label. Or something else?

I can see in Lua-API something about Tags. Question: Does the tags works with Dune2000 units? What are these? I mean, the tags, in general. It looks like infantry, at least, has no tag. I see several function: - bool AddTag (string tag) - Add a tag to the actor. - bool HasTag (string tag) - bool Rem...

Not bad!
Is this "Dune 2"?

Otherwise the engine will think you're trying to pass a color as an integer, which won't work.

Really. In that case, Lua returns error:
"Unable to convert parameter 2 to Int32".

Thank you for explanation.

Introduction . Slightly long. :-) About "FloatingText" in general. (If you know "FloatingText" well, then read next part) I read about function "FloatingText" now. This function, as Lua-API says, "Display a text message at the specified location" . Function "FloatingText" has four parameters . Firs...

I like OpenRa mod of Dune2000. And I would like to explore some parts of source code of that. I even start to read source code in C#. So question: Wouldn't it be impudence to ask at forum about some unclear (for me) parts of source code? I am newbie in C#. So it can be questions about C# in general ...

Thank you for your links. Strange thing. I have read here right now. "TutorialsPoint - YAML Basics " -https://www.tutorialspoint.com/yaml/yaml_basics.htm "YAML does not allow the use of tabs while creating YAML files; spaces are allowed instead" ??? There are only tabs in the OpenRa yaml file... Do ...
