Topic: Game Initialization

Economy options can be set through out the game, not only during initialization.

According to the documentation enomy options can be accessed through a buildings flag properties ware_economy and worker_economy. Setting options can then be made through the functions of the class LuaEconomy

Something like this should work:

local hq = plr:place_building("empire_headquarters_shipwreck", wl.Game().map:get_field(20,50), false, true)
local ware_economy = hq.flag.ware_economy
ware_economy:set_target_quantity("scythe", 2)

local worker_economy = hq.flag.worker_economy
worker_economy:set_target_quantity("donkey", 0)

Ok, thank you.

I was hoping for a somewhat simpler system like the one that allows you to fill stocks. But never mind, I'll add all of this to my init.lua file.

well, as far as I know you could use the set_target_quantity function like the set_wares function (meaning you can set multiple ware, quantity pairs at once) only thing is to identify the correct economy for the settings (widelands has economies for workers and economies for wares, later in the game you might have multiple economies as each separated warehouse which is not connected to another warehouse has its own economy)

Hello,

Small explanation about this kind of questions that I sometimes ask.

Experience has taught me that some computer languages ​​initialize the variables at creation, others are content to reserve space without cleaning up. This sometimes leads to 'surprising' values ​​for these variables. So I got into the habit of always initializing the variables, even at 0, from their first use so as not to have any unpleasant surprises, whatever the method to use.

I "speak" nearly fluently : Enhanced basic, Fortran, Pascal, C, Prolog, 3 Asm languages and 1 I created for pleasure (not Cobol, I'm not so old) but no modern object oriented language, I'm not familiar with their syntax but I learn.

I will not ask such a question soon.

PS: Where can I find the list of the authorized variable I can use in this context ?

Thank you but....

There are holes in the "economy tables". This probably means that we cannot define values ​​for the missing 'objects'. I can try to force values ​​for all the internal names I found in the Encyclopedia and wait to see the errors generated by the program to remove, one by one, what it doesn't want to initialize, but it might take a long time and tedious, or find the list and initialize only those that are allowed.

Do you want the real purpose of it all?

In fact I am preparing a skeleton which will be used again for other 'maps' and other 'campaigns'. Perhaps it can even be used by others wishing to develop in Lua and who have been a little cooled by the research necessary to find the information. I won't tell you how many scripting directories I have already explored, you would be surprised, pleasantly I hope.

Also I prefer not to have 'parasitic' declarations in this template to avoid idle questions like: Why are my initializations not taken into account? from potential future users.

I am retired, so I have time to spend 8 to 12 hours a day on these programs.
