Supporting Digitalis

[milkev]

Hello, Im trying to create a map using only crpl cores but they dont seem to support digitalis. is there a way to do this? The option in the crpl's settings doesn't do anything.

Okay, the first thing to learn here is that there is a unit attribute called "CONST_SUPPORTSDIGITALIS". This is enabled by default and appears in the editor settings as "Supports Digitalis  •".

However, this actually only means that the tower will keep living digitalis alive. If I understand what you are asking, you need that core to have this code executed every implementation:

Code Select Expand

SetDigitalis(CurrentCoords 1)

In case you don't know where to put something to execute every implementation, it goes somewhere here:

Code Select Expand


# WhateverYourScriptNameIs.crpl # Created on: mm/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss # -------------------------------------------

SetDigitalis(CurrentCoords 1)

#the rest of your program


This is when it helps to have "Support Digitalis  •" on.

Hope this helps!

Edit: this topic should be moved to The Coder's Corner. Thanks for asking the question though!  ;D

The reason for this is shown in the CRPL docs for CONST_SUPPORTSDIGITALIS.
Supports is taken to be "keeps alive". Seeding it is another matter.

If your digitalis exists, this will maintain it, without withering.
However, this will not lay down live Digitalis, or awaken the dead form.

The Command for that is, as GameGibu said, SetDigitalis(CurrentCoords 1) or something similar.

Which gives me an idea for a map... anyway. Does that answer the question?
