There is something that seems simple but i was not able to do is changing build time
. I'm not talking about unit blueprint editing, but changing the buildtime during game.I succeed in changing mass and energy unit cost by hooking game.lua
. So i can do some unit upgrades that modify the unit cost. But how to change the buildtime ?The following function in game.lua just give the mass and energy rate consumption used in unit.lua consumption states, but the unit still build itself at the same speed.
- Code: Select all
function GetConstructEconomyModel(builder, targetData)
local builder_bp = builder:GetBlueprint()
targetData.BuildTime = targetData.BuildTime
# 'rate' here is how fast we build relative to a unit with build rate of 1
local rate = builder:GetBuildRate() -- NO IMPACT on construction speed
local time = targetData.BuildTime -- DO NOT CHANGE the build time but only the consumption rate
local mass = targetData.BuildCostMass
local energy = targetData.BuildCostEnergy
# apply penalties/bonuses to effective time
local time_mod = builder.BuildTimeModifier or 0
time = time * (100 + time_mod)*.01
if time<.1 then time = .1 end
# apply penalties/bonuses to effective energy cost
local energy_mod = builder.EnergyModifier or 0
energy = energy * (100 + energy_mod)*.01
if energy<0 then energy = 0 end
# apply penalties/bonuses to effective mass cost
local mass_mod = builder.MassModifier or 0
mass = mass * (100 + mass_mod)*.01
if mass<0 then mass = 0 end
return time/rate, energy, mass
end
I gave a deep look in unit.lua where the previous function is called, but there is nothing for the build construction time.
I started to debug to check what are all the functions called when we just create a unit with the commander. This is the LOG result :

The solution is somewhere in theses functions.
Anyone got an idea
?
