How do I make a Reward?

[ROmeoBOT 23]

Hello all great modders!

 

I am a newbie at this an want to learn a little about making a reward. I'm trying to mod another casino with the requierments: ordinance_is_on(A0D07129) and that another building is built.

Trying to use

sc4game.automata.get_source_building_count(hex2dec("0ABCDE00") does not work for me for some reason. It does not work in the query either. Do I have to define this specific buildings number somewhere?

 

The ordinance gambling seems not to be working either. Can somebody tell me the right syntax in the LUA file?

Or is there another way to do this?   Is there a tutorial somewhere?

Guess everyone is building roads now...

 

I have another question about UI files

-Is there a list somewhere with all the codes you could use in it, like

 0000106c = budget cost

 0000106b = goofy stats

 00001076 = has power y/n

 00001077 = has water y/n

 

well, guess I'll figure it out evetually...

I have one more question about custom UI making.

I know I can use math.random() to get a random number.

I can use math.abs() to get a positive number from a negative.

I would like to use math.trunc() to get an integer from a float but this is not working.

Anyone knows what math. functions that are supported in SC4? Is it Java or C#?

 

Guess Everyone who knows this heavy stuff is busy....

OK ROmeoBOT, I will try to answer your questions.

Yes you will have to define this, look in BSC essentials.dat for instance.

Try this link and you might learn to make a reward:

--#-package:0xxxxxxxx# -- package signature

Again, replace the 0xxxxxxx with a unique 8-digit number of your choosing (an easy rule for this is to take the instance id and change the first digit to a zero).

Remember, the first digit HAS to be a Zero! That's what is says, right?

About math: there are many math.functions that can be used in LText files and LUA files.

Check in excel and try. This works for me:

math.sqtr()

math.abs() positive from negative

math.min() lowest value

math.max() highest value

math.floor() rounds down

math.ceil() rounds up

many of the games variables are rounded to int when they are presented in a LText file.

 

Many of these variables can be used in a custom query:
