Re: Upgrades (for buildings)
Hello,
Update on gold ore ----> gold mine
I have tried the fun attribute to change the building. But upon clicking the gold ore, it only removes the texture of gold ore ("type": "decoration") but did not build a gold mine ("type":"industrial"). Also tested "type": "residential" and "type": "commercial" but did not work.
But other building types such as "park" or "sport" will work, it will remove gold ore and build gold mine with that type. (You cannot imagine a gold mine to be a sport or park)
The fun attribute just doesn't apply to RCIs. Its just remove it and leave an empty space behind.

Re: Upgrades (for buildings)
My plan here is that the gold ore spawn randomly in a world map as decoration, and then you can upgrade it into a small gold mine as industrial. It is simple idea really. I have plans for copper mines and silver mines but this cannot come to fruition :(
Please move discussion if this is a little off-topic. You can see the code and texture in zip file provided above.

Re: Upgrades (for buildings)
It works if you add an action to build the needed zone and set "needs road":false in the industrial building.

Re: Upgrades (for buildings)
Thanks Lobby for all the help. I'll be testing it first. If it does well, I'll probably release my gold ore plugin today.

Re: Re: Upgrades
You can provide "text" and "title" for each upgrade. They will be shown when that particular upgrade is selected to be chosen. They do not affect the text and title of the building however.Between3Characters wrote: ↑19 Jan 2019, 02:50What about the namea of the upgrade? Can we add descriptions...?

Re: Upgrades
I have a problem, when I write the code for upgrade, even if I insert all 4 frames and the rotation function, the frames always remain the same, while the same building, while when it is not upgrade it changes the image for each side.
Here is the code:
(Sorry for my English)
Here is the code:
(Sorry for my English)
Code: Select all
[{
"id": "PiazzaMoroSpoglia",
"type": "park",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "Piazza",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL4.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL3.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL2.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL1.png"
}],
"upgrades": [{
"id": "PiazzaMoroPiante",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "L'aggiunta delle piante è l'ideale per tenere al fresco i tuoi cittadini durante la calura estiva",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL5.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL6.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL7.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL8.png"}],

Re: Re: Upgrades
Upgrades aren't rotation aware on their own. You have to use a rotation aware animation in an upgrade in order to support rotation awareness in it. This may look like that:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"PiazzaMoroSpoglia_upgrade00",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL5.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL6.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL7.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL8.png"}],
"rotation aware":true
},
{
"id": "PiazzaMoroSpoglia",
"type": "park",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "Piazza",
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"rotation aware": true,
"frames": [{
"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL4.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL3.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL2.png"},
{"bmp": "PiazzaMoroL1.png"
}],
"upgrades": [{
"id": "PiazzaMoroPiante",
"title": "Piazza Aldo Moro Coccaglio (Bs)",
"text": "L'aggiunta delle piante è l'ideale per tenere al fresco i tuoi cittadini durante la calura estiva",
"frames": [null],
"animation":[{"id":"PiazzaMoroSpoglia_upgrade00","x":0,"y":0}]
}]
}]

Re: Upgrades
Another complicated question, can upgrades use separators? I'll go straight to explanation.
So, we have upgrades A, B, C and D. Only one is true, a separator is between C and D. Would we able to choose A/B and/or C/D?
Hope you understand what I meant.

Re: Upgrades
Probably not, but you can use condition requirements in upgrades
