Difference between revisions of "Todo:Interactive Campaign Features"

Things to make campaign making and interactivity better (ignore syntax, focus on the concept):

• Implement a light weight, yet powerful and effective scripting language to replace SGSL (like squirrel lang)
• Add code to better interact with users current game screen state:
  • when mainmenu::opened do
  • when flagtab::opened do
  • when worker::selected do
  • when enemy::worker:selected do
• Add code to better interact with users current gameplay state:
  • workerCount(playerid)
  • warriorCount(playerid)
  • explorerCount(playerid)
  • allyCondition(playerid) -> dead, attacked, healthy
• Along with the already implemented ability to set alliances:
  • enableFruit() / disableFruit()
  • revealMap() or disableFOW()
• Ability to transfer units/buildings from one campaign to another. Suggested ways:
  • saveMapData() -> loadMap('part2.map') -> loadMapData() <- checking that the maps were the same
  • saveMap('part2.map') -> loadMap('part2.map', 'scripts/script2.script') <- loading a saved map with a new script (overwriting default one in the map)
  • saveMap('part2.map') -> loadMap('part2.map', 'script2') <- loading a saved map using a script embedded into the map header
• Ingame timer commands from the moment a command is executed, for things like "you have 5 minutes to build up forces", and the ability to check it (would at the same time enable the ability to limit total game time)
  • timer1 = startTimer()
  • print timer1
  • endTimer(timer1)
