See Surveying, building... and the lists for general information.
Projects are collections of objects. Each bot has the possibility of having one such collection. The script has statements which allow to manipulate this collection. Projects and building activities are associated with a number of other collections, like the survey collection (used when querying property), the Result (Res) collection (used when looking for objects), the success and failures lists and, in 3.1 worlds, the Cell buffer.
The following operations apply to Projects.
Variables shown in black may be substituted by literal values, variables shown in red are assigned the result of the operation, variables in green may not be substituted by their literal equivalents.
ProjectCount %a | Counts the number of objects in the project, and stores that number in %c |
ProjectBounds %n %s %w %e %h
%l %c ProjectBounds @a @b %c |
stores the N, S, W, E, High and Low boundaries of the project (in meters) in variables %n %s %w %e %h %l, or as two location variables @a and @b which represent the oposite vertices of the project region (@a the NW High corner, @b the SE Low corner). Variable %c stores the number of objects in the project. |
ProjectClear | Clears the project collection, removing all objects from memory. |
ProjectLoad $f [%r] | loads a project from file specified in $f. Optionally %r will contain 0 if the operation succeeds, -1 if it fails. xelagot 3.607 or newer The filename convention is explained in the section Filenames. xelagot 3.606 or older The path defaults to the path of the current script file. A full drive + path may also be specified, see Program paths. |
ProjectMerge $f [%r] | merges a project from file specified in $f. Optionally %r
will contain 0 if the operation succeeds, -1 if it fails. xelagot 3.607 or newer The filename convention is explained in the section Filenames. xelagot 3.606 or older The path defaults to the path of the current script file. A full drive + path may also be specified, see Program paths. |
ProjectSave $f [%r] | saves a project to file specified in $f. Optionally %r
will contain 0 if the operation succeeds, -1 if it fails. xelagot 3.607 or newer The filename convention is explained in the section Filenames. If the destination path and folder does not exist, it will be created to accommodate the file. xelagot 3.606 or older The path defaults to the path of the current script file. A full drive + path may also be specified, see Program paths. |
version 3.07 ProjectSavePropdump $f [%r] |
saves a project to file specified in $f in propdump format. Optionally %r
will contain 0 if the operation succeeds, -1 if it fails. xelagot 3.607 or newer The filename convention is explained in the section Filenames. If the destination path and folder does not exist, it will be created to accommodate the file. xelagot 3.606 or older The path defaults to the path of the current script file. A full drive + path may also be specified, see Program paths. |
ProjectFromSurvey | loads a project from the Survey buffer. Requires a previous Query to have been completed (see Event Query Complete) |
ProjectFromSurveyFilter | loads objects into the Project buffer from the Survey buffer, applying a Filter. Requires a previous Query to have been completed (see Event Query Complete) |
ResFromProjectFilter | loads objects into the Res collection from the Project buffer, applying a Filter. See also Filters and searching for objects, the Res buffer |
ProjectFromRes ProjectFromResFilter |
Copies the objects in the Res buffer and adds them to the Project buffer. ProjectFromResFilter applies a filter. Does not clear the buffers. See also Filters and searching for objects, the Res buffer |
ProjectFromListAS ProjectFromListAF ProjectFromListAU ProjectFromListDS ProjectFromListDF ProjectFromListDU ProjectFromListTD |
Copies the objects in the corresponding list to the Project buffer.
|
ProjectBackup @a @b %r | Rudimentary backup facility for a world area. @a and @b have the coordinates of 2 oposite corners of a NSWE oriented rectangular area, %r receives the number of zones that will be queried. This statement deletes the world cache files for the area required (so it does not matter if UseCache is turned on or off), queries the server and adds to the project buffer the contents of the whole rectangle. You must manually save the project or use ProjectSave. Not meant for huge areas - tested on a 500 by 500 sq.m. world, worked ok. See the bottom of the page for a full script using this facility. Triggers events QueryBegin and QueryComplete (multiple times, that's where %r plays a role, see script). |
ProjectAdd ~a [%r] | Adds object ~a to the project. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation succeds, -1 if it fails. Please note: new objects, created in the script, must have their object number put to zero with GetObjectNumber ~a 0 for ProjectAdd to work properly. |
ProjectDelete ~a [%r] | deletes object ~a from the project. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation succeds, -1 if it fails. |
ProjectMove @a ProjectMove &a ProjectMove ~a |
Moves the Project origin (if defined) to the position specified by @, &a or ~a. Rotates the project by an angle equal to the yaw of the variable minus the yaw of the origin. If no origin has been defined, functions as ProjectMoveMidBot. |
ProjectMoveMid @a ProjectMoveMid &a ProjectMoveMid ~a |
Moves the centre of the project to the position specified by @, &a or ~a. Rotates the project to the yaw of the variable (no rotation if it faces north). Does not alter the altitude. |
ProjectMoveMidTop @a ProjectMoveMidTop &a ProjectMoveMidTop ~a |
Moves the centre top of the project to the position specified by @, &a or ~a. Rotates the project to the yaw of the variable (no rotation if it faces north). Alters the altitude. |
ProjectMoveMidCen @a ProjectMoveMidCen &a ProjectMoveMidCen ~a |
Moves the centre of the project to the position specified by @, &a or ~a. Rotates the project to the yaw of the variable (no rotation if it faces north). Alters the altitude. |
ProjectMoveMidBot @a ProjectMoveMidBot &a ProjectMoveMidBot ~a |
Moves the centre bottom of the project to the position specified by @, &a or ~a. Rotates the project to the yaw of the variable (no rotation if it faces north). Alters the altitude. |
ProjectSetTempo %t | sets the build and destroy tempo. 1 means sent one object per second to the server, 25 is the highest. |
ProjectBuild [%r] | Starts sending data to the world server to build the objects specified in the project, as belonging to the citizen number of the bot. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation started successfully, -1 if it failed to start. A failure message will usually mean another project is still being built or destroyed. Triggers event ProjectComplete on completion. |
ProjectBuildED [%r] | Starts sending data to the world server to build the objects specified in the project, as belonging to the citizen numbers specified in the project. Requires Eminent Domain and that all citizen numbers in the project have build right. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation started successfully, -1 if it failed to start. A failure message will usually mean another project is still being built or destroyed. Triggers event ProjectComplete on completion. |
ProjectDestroy [%r] | Starts sending data to the world server to destroy the objects specified in the project if they have the citizen number of the bot. Requires that the objects exist in the world server and that the bot has build right. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation started successfully, -1 if it failed to start. A failure message will usually mean another project is still being built or destroyed. Triggers event ProjectComplete on completion. |
ProjectDestroyED [%r] | Starts sending data to the world server to destroy the objects specified in the project. Requires that the objects exist in the world server and that the bot has Eminent Domain. Optional %r will contain 0 if the operation started successfully, -1 if it failed to start. A failure message will usually mean another project is still being built or destroyed. Triggers event ProjectComplete on completion. |
3.1 worlds (world server 28 or higher)
ProjectFromCell ProjectFromCellFilter |
loads objects into the Project collection from the Cell buffer. ProjectFromCellFilter applies a filter. |
