How to catch build event

[Phelom]

Thanks a lot... i'll try it

I copied the broadcast function from survival map...

[quark036]

The broadcast function might be defined somewhere else in that survival map, its not necessarily a universal function.

[speed2]

For example, defined at the beginning

Code: Select all

BroadcastMSG = function(MSG, Fade, TextColor)
   PrintText(MSG, 20, TextColor, Fade, 'center') ;   
end

then used later in some function

Code: Select all

BroadcastMSG("Well done, but can you do better?", 30);

Yes i know that, i copied it.. so if i've no msg it means that the callback function is not catched

[Phelom]

Nothing happends

Even if i call BroadcastMSG in OnStart function

Code: Select all

function OnStart(self)
   
   ScenarioFramework.CreateUnitBuiltTrigger( myCB, unit, categories.FACTORY * categoriesTECH1 )
end

function myCB()
   
   BroadcastMSG("Well done !", 8);
   
end

you need have BroadcastMSG defined at the beginning, after you import other files and then you also need to define unit somewhere

[Phelom]

BroadcastMSG functon is defined

How do i define units ?

[Phelom]

Can u please help me to find a working example ?

in debug i got this :

Code: Select all

WARNING: BeginSession() failed: ...d alliance\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\scenariotriggers.lua(366): attempt to call method `AddOnUnitBuiltCallback' (a nil value)

this looks like you have a typo (callbackfunction parameter to actual function name) but it was supposed to be called
