Modding question: longlists and stringlists |
Well I was looking at the _main_ai files and the percentage of colony types. Adds values to 2 global variables (lst_Colony_Type_Name and lst_Colony_Type_Pct). I am wondering about this section because the script files never clear these global variables. Now my question about this is; do the global variables get reset or cleared at the beginning of the ai's turn or, as I suspect, does the ai's turn continually add another set of values to a continually growing list.
Even going over this area of code, it seems extremely important that the percentages listed here need to be changed to make the ai better. I don't know about anyone else, but the I never start any empires with that many mining colonies.
Re: Modding question: longlists and stringlists
Thanks for the info. I just had a sneaking suspicion that since there are several variables that are longlists and stringlists, but they are defined without any values. Then all the code does is a .add(x) function. Now this just adds a new value to the end of the list. I would think that the .clear() function would be used before adding to the end of a list. I just think that it could be confusing.
Re: Modding question: longlists and stringlists
Those lists are created and filled each time the script executes, which is once per turn.
