probably better to have it in the code

pegperegogaucho

But dropdowns for choreographies and MsgAction states would be nice, you could then use their name for the dropdown

pegperegogaucho

I wonder how action 3 (send event to enemies) should be handled?

pegperegogaucho

For now maybe a hexadecimal display would do the job

adrientd

Yeah

adrientd

for the events maybe we should wait until we have named events :LUL:

pegperegogaucho

Definitely

pegperegogaucho

The game only uses it for the centurion animations, but it is also possible to send any event, like the "death" event to the enemies, so all enemies die on the spot :LUL:

adrientd

Most useful feature ever :LUL:

adrientd

It's unimaginable how many things you can do with squads and MsgAction

adrientd

I'm still thinking about how to handle event names

adrientd

here's some example of a JSON file that could look like for events: ```{ "classes": [ { "name": "CKThing", "category": 12, "id": 69, "events": [ { "id": "12AB", "name": "Do something", "paramType": "int", "paramName": "Input" } ] } ] }```

adrientd

Here I would list every class, and for every class list all events that can be sent to it.

adrientd

So when you would use a combobox it would only show the events that can be applied for that class

pegperegogaucho

Looks good, but how would you handle event sequences that have a "parameter" in the event (for example, to play a cutscene you would send 05XX to CKSrvCinematic where XX is the cinematic index?)

adrientd

Oh yeah, I forgot :LUL:

adrientd

I was thinking of "ranges": instead of defining a single event you define a range of events

pegperegogaucho

That could be possible, but maybe you can divide it even further: an array for the event category which holds the possible "sub events", like ```json { "classes": [ { "name": "CKThing", "category": 12, "id": 69, "events": [ { "category": "12", "subevents" : [ { "num" : "AB", "name": "Do something" } ] } ] } ] } ```

pegperegogaucho

I'm pretty sure this is also how the game goes forward when determining what to do for each event

adrientd

Yeah, that might be possible, but not sure if it's really necessary.
