The following code works perfect, but if i save the game when building a PZFactory, then load the game,
the PZFactory will be immediately destroyed...
Also another question: How to get the powerzone in range?
i use this function to build a PZFactory(CPRL):
:BuildPZFactory #void BuildPZFactory(int posx, int posy)
->posy ->posx
CreateUnit("CRPLCORE" <-posx <-posy) ->unitUID
AddScriptToUnit(<-unitUID "PZFactory.crpl")
And the "PZFactory.crpl":
once
SetImage(Self "main" "Custom0")
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_ISBUILDING TRUE)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_BUILDCOST 250)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_CONNECTABLE TRUE)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_REQUESTPACKETS TRUE)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_MAXHEALTH 250)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_HEALTH 0)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_CREATEPZ FALSE)
SetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_NULLIFIERDAMAGES FALSE)
endonce
if (not(GetUnitAttribute(Self CONST_ISBUILDING)))
CreateUnit("POWERZONE" CurrentCoords)
Destroy(Self 1)
endif
Your code seems fine to me. For some reason the factory instantly finishes building when you load a game and therefore triggers the destruction. Strange, could be a bug.

GetUnitsInRange(CurrentCoords <-Range) ->unitCount
do(<-unitCount 0)
->unit
if(eq(GetUnitType(<-unit) "POWERZONE"))
#powerzone found, do something
endif
loop
I guess that not all states are persisted when saving/loading. Something like this might do the trick until it is fixed:
:Awake
Self CONST_ISBUILDING true SetUnitAttributeNote that this feuture is not documented in the wiki so I'm not 100% sure if this is correct.
virgil has been notified.
There are actually two bugs (just fixed, so in the upcoming first patch). The first is that the build_cost doesn't get persisted. This means the newly created unit loads with a build cost of 0, so it instantly completes. The second bug (being covered by the first) is that the "Request Packets" bool isn't being loaded properly (it was being persisted, though).

I can't wait for the next patch then ;)
You might be able to get by this in the mean time as J mentioned.
Add an :Awake function to your script and set the buildcost and requestpackets attributes again. I've not tried it, but that might just work.

Add an :Awake function to your script...
So when is this :Awake function called? Whenever loading a saved game?
How does it compare to InvocationCount?
Awake gets called as soon as the core is created (so during the game load before the first frame).
There is another intrinsic method called "GameLoaded" that gets called right after the game load is complete.
The InvocationCount gets incremented just before commands are processed during a normal game update. So invocationCount will be 0 in the Awake call.
