Notifications (368)

I heard that there's an interest in showing notifications via plugins. So, here we go (version 368):
You can define a notification by using type "notification":
Code: Select all
{
"id":"$notify_test00",
"type":"notification",
"text":"Hi, I'm a test notification!",
"frames":[{"steal":"$anim_people_source01","frame":14}] // Use this if you want to show one of the built in people in your message
}
After that, you can reference to it in a notify-fun-action:
Code: Select all
{
"id":"$notification_test_building00",
"type":"decoration",
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[{"x":480,"y":0,"w":32,"h":16}],
"on click fun":[
{
"actions":[{"type":"notify","id":"$notify_test00","z":1}] // Let's trigger the notification if the player taps on this building
}
]
}
In case you wonder: the "z":1 puts a location button on the notification that navigates the user to the building that spawned it.
There are optional things you can define in a notification:
Code: Select all
"show once":true, // The notification will be displayed only one time (per city)
"immersive":true, // The notification will be displayed in an own window
"important":true, // The notification will be marked as important (like fire notifications)
"closeable":false // Removes the close button from the notification. Not really useful...

Can you also set like a counter, for example when it's new year, you can get a new year notification without having a building?

And can you add your own notification persons?

About date specific notifications: Not yet, but I plan to add a condition for date so you can use "random fun" to trigger it.
Just provide your own image as frame for the notification

"frames": [{
"steal":"$anim_people_source01",
"frame": 14

"min": 0,
"max": 0
},
"actions": [{

No value for type. Show me the error because I am blind.

You have to put "random fun" into a building (or road) plugin
You might use a dummy building similar to
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"$somerandomidyouwillneveruse",
"type":"decoration",
"hidden":true,
"width":1,
"height":1,
"frames":[null],
"random fun":[
...
]
}
]

}
In this place I believe

What do you mean by doesn't work?
It's a general flag for all plugins, therefor it should work independently of the type

Oh, I just noticed that I should have named this attribute differently
