Flowers and Mines, how to find them?

[Aino]

Ok, I know that you can sue:

Code: [Select]

Tree = GetAsteroid(i):GetRandomDysonTree()
if Tree ~= nil then
Flower = Tree:GetSuperSeedling()to find flowers on trees, but what about roids when the flowers/mines are plucked already?

[Pilchard123]

Asteroid:GetSuperSeedling()?

Not certain, but it sounds logical.

[Aino]

Gonna test

Ok, but how to find Mines?

[Pilchard123]

GetMine()

Needs an empire as a parameter, though it may just use the 'roid's current owner by default.

I use two different methods:


1.  If I used Flower = Tree:GetSuperSeedling() to Pluck the flower, then I just continue to refer to that flower as Flower.  Or, if I know there will be lots of flowers, I refer to it as an array - Flower.

2.  If it's an arbitrary flower that hasn't been named yet, I check each asteroid and try to assign any flowers on it to a variable such as Flower using the GetFlower(int faction) command.

[annikk.exe]

By the way, both GetFlower(int faction) and GetMine(int faction) must be run on an asteroid.

EG: Flower = GetAsteroid(j):GetFlower(i)

But in the frist place, how do I find mines?

EDIT: Forgot the stuff some lines above

GetMine()

Needs an empire as a parameter, though it may just use the 'roid's current owner by default.

But will that return all of the mines/flowers? Or just one???

[annikk.exe]

It returns a random one.  :>

[Aino]

Mhm... so this code will work?

Code: [Select]

if CCFPriority[i] > CCFPriority[Neighbour[j]] and CCBarrier[i] == false and GetAsteroid(i).owner == 1 then
CCFPriority[i] = CCFPriority[Neighbour[j]] + 1
if GetAsteroid(i):GetNumFlowers(1) > 0 then
CCFlower = GetAsteroid(i):GetFlower(1)
CCFlower:SendTo(Neighbour[j])
end
end

[annikk.exe]

Yup, should do :>

[Aino]

But it doesn't -.-

[annikk.exe]

Do you get any error message?

[Aino]

Ye... Error with Flower.SendTo and I wrote Flower:SendTo() ... What the heck?

[Aino]

Annikk I'lls end the code, please try to help... it's the last thing before the release :/

[annikk.exe]

Any luck with this? I've not had time to try this myself as I've been busy with work. I'm actually in Abu dhabi at the moment. Flying home tonight.

[Aino]

Nope... Want it to work, but no succes :/

My coding sudenly dropped, after I encountered that problem, a new update for Minecraft came and I sudenly stopped... Hope I will code again soon though
