i got the other fact. if you call the build mode from createDraftDrawer, the draft will be added to the history as a new even if the draft in there before, not replace the last one. @Lobby Sorry to mention you, could you fix this bug?

[Lobby]

Thanks, will fix that

[1Code]

Code: Select all    Reset

GUI.addCanvas {
	w = 30,
	h = 30,
	onDraw = function(self, x, y, w, h, hoverX, hoverY)
		if hoverX ~= nil or hoverY ~= nil then
			Drawing.setColor(0, 0, 0)
		else
			Drawing.setColor(255, 255, 255)
		end
		Drawing.drawRect(x, y, w, h)
	end
}

I would like to tap the building and then GUI will appear, how can I do that?

I would like to tap the building and then GUI will appear, how can I do that?

Here's my script from my plugin for example

Code: Select all    Reset

local function BankMainUI()
    local dialog = GUI.createDialog{
    icon = Icon.MONEY,
    title = 'Theonia Regional Bank',
    width = 350,
    height = 230,
    pause = true
    }
    local function addLine(label, height)
    local line = dialog.content:addLayout{height = height - 5}
    line:addLabel{text = label, w = 0}
    return line:addLayout{ x = 0}
  end
  local theme = dialog.content:addCanvas{
y = 35,onDraw=function(self,x,y,w,h)
  Drawing.setAlpha(1)
Drawing.setColor(83,133,70)
  Drawing.drawNinePatch(NinePatch.PANEL,x,y,w,h)
  Drawing.reset()
  end}
   local layout
    stateUI = 'A'
    selection(dialog,stateUI,theme,layout)
    local button1 = addLine("",0)
    local function addSelectionButton(text, state,frame)
    button1:addButton{
      icon = frame,
      w = -330,
      h = 30,
      frameDefault = NinePatch.TUTORIAL_UNMARK,
      frameDown = NinePatch.TUTORIAL_MARK,
      text = text,
      onClick = function(self)stateUI = state
      past2 = stateUI
      end,
      isPressed = function()
     return stateUI == state
     end
    }
  end
  addSelectionButton('Deposit','A',Icon.LOAD_PAYBACK)
  addSelectionButton('Withdraw', 'B',Icon.LOAN_TAKE)
  addSelectionButton('Loan', 'C',Icon.LOAN)
  addSelectionButton('Active Loan', 'AC',Icon.LOAN)
  addSelectionButton(nil,'info',Icon.HELP)
end

function script:click(x,y,level)
local cv = Tile.isBuildingInConstruction(x,y)
if not cv and not City.isSandbox() then
BankMainUI()
return false
end
end

for the plugin im trying to make i need to notify a script in another draft when the user is done doing something, is this possible?

[Bearbear76]

I think using fun variables for simple numbers are good and for more complex stuff use storage.

yeah i can pass the variables just fine, but i need to notify script 1 that script 2 is done doing stuff, while i can probably just look at a bools state every frame im wondering if theres something cleaner i can use

[ian`]

why are there so many functions not works correctly now?
buildBuilding can't build RCI buildings, also isBuildingBuildable always returns false when checking RCI buildings.
Draft:isPlugin() can't work properly, but if not Draft:isPlugin() it works fine.
City.createDraftDrawer(d): isSelectable() gets an error on certain drafts.

[CommanderABab]

buildBuilding can't build RCI buildings,

Probably unzoned or incorrect level zone.

[ian`]

i have tried it last year and the RCI buildings can be built but without the zoning, and a few months ago it can only be built in zones and those that already have buildings.

EDIT -------
Also Tile.getGroundDraft is not return the draft of the ground. when I use lua wrapper, it says 'LuaRepr'.

[KINGTUT10101]

I couldn't get buildBuilding() to work with RCI either.

Can we use EVENT_CAR_REACHED for a specified car draft or does it takes the information of all cars target reaches?

And also City.spawncar(...) I tried using it but it didnt really did the work. Cars were spawning like how they are in the JSON code and not like the lua. I want them to only spawn in a time cycle (script.nextMonth)

With a little hope to have an answer I also want to talk about notifications. I have made some notifications they are pop-uping at the times when I want but there is one problem I dont really know to fix...

I have put those notifications in script:nextMonth, yeah they pop up once it becomes next month but then they continue to pop up everyday. I want them to pop up once every month. How can I fix this (because this is annoying to close notifications every TT day)

[dc11]

Is it possible to automatically rebuild a building that has reached level TTT in Lua to level T?

[dc11]

local x,y

function script:init()
local building = Draft.getDraft('$prm_com02_01')
end

function script:daily (x, y, level)

local count = City.countBuildings(building)
for i, count do
x,y = City.getBuilding(i, building)
Builder.remove(x, y)
end
end


Is this a valid lua?

[Hadestia]

Is this a valid lua?

No, you should declare var "building" local outside the function

[Hadestia]

Can i know how can i include explosion animation when removing buildings using "Builder.remove(x,y)"?

[Lobby]

You don't. The explosion animation when removing a building is drawn by the removal tool itself so it cannot be drawn if the tool is not active.
