in gamemian on firstupdate send a simcallback with the option param to the sim Prefs.GetFromCurrentProfile('thevarname')
have the simcallback set the NewEffects var to the param, have the effects code check the param, do new or old effects depending on the param
easyany option can be sent from the front end user layer this way...
you could even set up a few functions like SaveSimData('name', params) in the front end user layer and user layer, this function will always save the name params to the same prefs name like 'simdata' it will look like this you will need checks to make the conditions are met, ill do a quick summary
in gamemain.lua
use the onfirstupdate function to trigger sending the simdata to the sim
- Code:
function OnFirstUpdate()
--do old function code
SendSimData()
end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the usersync.lua
function OnSync()
--do old function code
if Sync.SimData then
UpdateSimData(Sync.SimData)
end
end
function UpdateSimData(data)
Prefs.SaveToCurrentProfile('SimData', data)
end
function SaveSimData(name, params)
local current = Prefs.GetFromCurrentProfile('SimData') or { }
current.name = params
Prefs.SaveToCurrentProfile('SimData', current)
end
function SendSimData()
local data = Prefs.GetFromCurrentProfile('SimData') or { }
local SD = { Func = 'UpdateSimData', Args = { params = data } }
SimCallback(SD, true)
end
function SetSimData(name, param)
if name and param then
SaveSimData(name, param)
SendSimData()
end
end
----------------------------------------------------------
in simsync.lua
local SimData = {}
function ResetSyncTable()
--do old ResetSyncTable code
Sync.SimData = false
end
function UpdateSimdata(data)
if data then
SimData = data
end
end
function GetSimData(name)
if SimData[name] then
return SimData[name]
else
return nil
end
end
function SendSimData()
SimSync.SimData = SimData
end
function SetSimData(name, param)
SimData[name] = param
SendSimData()
end
----------------------------------------------------------
in simcallbacks.lua
Callbacks.UpdateSimData(data)
UpdateSimData(data.params)
end
2 way communication wihtout desync from the front end user layer, the user layer and the sim.
just remember the info in the tables is global so all armies can view it and change it. which is what you want for this kinda communication.
