BobHPB_MyCityHall_ID = hex2dec("8c4a805b") 

-- R$$$ Population.

a = create_reward_cityplanning('8c4a805b') 
a.type = advice_types.ENVIRONMENT
function a.condition()
    if  (game.g_city_r3_population > 250) 
     then
        return reward_state.AVAILABLE
    else
        return [[text@8fd3874e]]
    end
end
a.timeout = 100
a.title = [[text@b95ab9f4]]
a.message   = [[text@be09e152]]
a.priority  = tuning_constants.ADVICE_PRIORITY_URGENT
a.mood = advice_moods.GREAT_JOB

is it necessary to transform this hex to dec? i mean with my premature understanding, The ID shouldn't be a Hex?

if  (game.g_city_r3_population > 250) 

is game.g_city_r3_population a dec?

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for you question, the first variable is to transform to dec not so important, I just test it and I will use in the future for other script if this script runs well. The second Q, some of dec value is important for statistical things, but again this I will use for future, so the last question that I think has relation with current problem, so far I know the variable game.g_city_r3_population is actually a template from SG script in their LUA, and this I use for requirements to the reward. But this doesnt work at all.

Perhaps you can or ever see any of discussion like this and refer it to me? Thanks in advance bro.

Kind regards,

BobHPB

Ah, if so, Sorry BobHPB, i don't know that, I mean the relevant threads.

so i guess that the game.g_city_r3_population as you mentioned is a dec and has been included, which means we could use it directly, I know we don't have the Debugging environment here, but i thought maybe you could output some key values with .io to a txt, so that you could observe them obviously. i don't know if you could do this with Reader 1.54, you may want to give it a try.

Here is an output sample:

 Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

Sincerely,

-- Edit: the io output method maybe a bad suggestion, it's not that simple as i thought, i should make a test first. Sorry!

You may call me either Bob or Bobby, all are my real name...different with western guy, when you have name robert then they call you bob....but my name is bobby then my family and my friend call me bob...and I like to use nickname BobHPB...and for those people that I think I have trust them then I ask them to call me bob not BobHPB...
