Date dependent fun condition

#1

Post by Lobby »

Since 369 there's a condition for fun to check for a specific date/range.

To do so, use condition type:"date" and define a range using min and max (or z if you want a specific day instead of a range of days). For example, z:0 would mean the 1st day of each year (0 <-> 1 because of how we count in computer science). Here's a sample code that triggers a notification:

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id":"$notify_test01","type":"notification","text":"I AM SO <..>","frames":[{"steal":"$anim_people_source01","frame":0}]
  },
  
  {
    "id":"$invisible building","type":"decoration","hidden":true,"width":1,"height":1,"frames":[null],
    "random fun":[
      {
        "condition": {
          "type": "date",
          "z": 7  // 8th day of the year
        },
        "actions": [
          {
            "type": "notify",
            "id": "$notify_test01"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]
In case you want the condition to be true each week for example just use frame:7. By default frame has a value of 12*30=a year.

Is it possible to have a code, when your map surpasses a certain amount of inhabitants a notification is given?

Use

Code: Select all

"once":true
where you define the notification.

To use a random notification from those you have defined:

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id":"$notify_test01","type":"notification","text":"I AM SO <..>","frames":[{"steal":"$anim_people_source01","frame":0}],
    "id":"$notify_test02",...""   ""
    ...
  },
  
  {
    "id":"$invisible building","type":"decoration","hidden":true,"width":1,"height":1,"frames":[null],
    "(random )fun":[
       {"actions": [
          {
            "type": "notify",
            "id": "$notify_test01"
          },
          "p":x
        },
      {"actions": [
          {
            "type": "notify",
            "id": "$notify_test02"
          },
          "p":x
        },
        ...
          
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]
...
Where x = 1 ÷ (number of different notifications).

Then add one more action that doesn't have a notification! :)

How about this?

Code: Select all

[
  ...
  {
    "id":"$invisible building","type":"decoration","hidden":true,"width":1,"height":1,"frames":[null],
    "random fun":[
       {"actions": [
          {
            "type": "notify",
            "id": "$notify_test01"
          }
        ],  // Actions array is ending here
        "p":x  // Probability
      },
      {"actions": [  // Here begins a new transition
          {
            "type": "notify",
            "id": "$notify_test01"
          }
        ],
        "p":x
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
]
Note that "p" belongs into the transition object and not into the actions array.

I think I've asked this before but maybe there is an update about it. Does this fun activation have duration coding now? I mean action would trigger within a duration of time like 3 days, 5 days.

Have you tried this? :json

Code: Select all

"condition": {
  "type": "date",
  "min": 0,
  "max": 2,   // Trigger at days 0, 1, 2
  "frame": 8  // Overall time frame of 3 + 5 = 8 days
},

@Lobby , I think I phrased it wrong. It was supposed to be 3 or 5 days. Does the code would remain the same?

A specific example would be:

If I build building A, after 5 days building B will automatically be replaced.

Looks like I'm one very confused guy. Maybe trying it into plugin would help me understand more. Thank you for all your help guys!

I'm not sure what you mean by 3 or 5 days. Can you make an explicit example?

Here:

If I build building A,

after 5 days,

building A will be removed, then building B will replace it.
