  • SLIC2-Events

    This is a complete listing of events. Some of these are not safe to use from SLIC. A few are just plain obsolete and do not do anything useful. Events with arguments prefaced by GEA_ cannot be generated from SLIC, but can be triggered on.




    How to use events from SLIC:

    To add a handler for a named event:

    HandlEvent(EventName) 'HandlerName' [pre | post]
    {
    // Your code here
    }

    Example:

    location_t location_of_death;
    // ...
    // set location_of_death to some square first
    // ...
    // This handler will kill every unit that enters a preset location of death
    HandleEvent(MoveUnits) 'MyMoveHandler' post
    {

    if(army[0].location == location_of_death)
    {

    int_t u;
    for(u = 0; u < army[0].size; u++)
    {

    unit_t unit;
    GetUnitFromArmy(army[0], u, unit);
    Event:KillUnit(unit, 0, -1);
    }
    }
    }

    The priority of the handler can be either pre or post. A "pre" handler runs before the in-game code, a "post" handler runs afterwards. Note that for some events, some arguments may contain invalid data by the time a post handler is called. (For example, in a KillUnit post handler, the unit will already be dead).




    To generate an event from SLIC:

    Event:EventName(arguments)

    Example (also see above):
    Event:KillUnit(unit, 0, -1);

    Generates a KillUnit event for the specified unit. Note that events always execute ASYNCHRONOUSLY. The event is added to a queue, and is executed only after all events added before it have finished executing. So in the above example, the units do not actually die until after the handler has finished executing.




    The complete listing of all events
    • int_t denotes an integer argument that corresponds to a player. Ints and players are mostly interchangeable in SLIC, they are listed specially here for clarity.
    • int_t is a direction argument. The range is from 0-7.

    • EditPlus: updated SLIC-definitions, new CTP2-DB-definitions
      by BureauBert
      Why not get back to CTP2-modding just to enjoy the luxury of syntax highliting in EditPlus?
      • for SLIC (Locutus' SLIC-definitions file updated for CTP2 AE)
      • for CTP2 AE database files (a brand new definitions file)

      I will keep updating both files as long as the Source Code Project is going on with the Information I can find in the AE Modding Wiki (or somewhere else, but preferably there).

      The EditPlus definitions for CTP2 AE database structures are currently supporting all files in \default\gamedata and \default\aidata. I will see how much I can do for the string files, but I intend to integrate at least some highliting support for editing the Great Library. Personally, I like browsing the textfiles with syntax highliting -- I can see clearly now .

      I will eventually post updates here (not too frequently though).

      Please don't hesitate to post your suggestions and complaints .

      Installation:
      • Requires: EditPlus
      • copy the zipped files into the EditPlus program folder
      • open EditPlus, open the menu Tools > Preferences
      • go to "Settings and Syntax"
      • hit the "Add" button
      • for SLIC enter a description like "SLIC", file extension "slc", the syntax file is "slic.stx", the auto completion file is "slic.acp" and the function pattern file is "slic.ctl"
      • for the database defintions enter a description like "CTP2 DB", the file extension is "txt" (which might be a bit annoying if you use EditPlus for other textfiles and if you frequently use words like "InvaderMovementRegardCost" in your notes ), there is just a syntax file "ctpdb.stx"
      ...

      This is a complete listing of events. Some of these are not safe to use from SLIC. A few are just plain obsolete and do not do anything useful. Events with arguments prefaced by GEA_ cannot be generated from SLIC, but can be triggered on.

    • SLIC2-Builtins
      by Martin Gühmann

      There is one builtin "variable" and a number of builtin variable arrays available in SLIC. This document contains a complete reference of the data that can be extracted from these types. Note that for types supported as user types, all the members of these variables can be accessed in user variables as well. For example, the builtin unit array has a member named owner, which means that any variable of type unit_t also has a member named owner. Member data is accessed using standard c style dot notation. The one plain builtin variable is named "g" and contains three members:

      • g.year - the current round
      • g.year_str - the current year in string form. Only useful in string replacements.
      • g.player - the current player The rest of the builtins come in arrays, which are filled in when an event handler is called (but can also have values assigned by script code).

    • SLIC2-Functions
      by Martin Gühmann
      Following is an alphabetical list of every function available for use in SLIC scripts in Call to Power II.


      VOID Abort()
      Causes the current message to not be displayed. The code following an Abort() is still executed, however. Example:

      messagebox 'Msgbox'
      {
      Abort();
      AddGold(g.player, 100);
      }

      //No message will appear when 'Msgbox' is called, and the player will receive 100 gold.
