4. Where to put prototype extends?

Where to put prototype extends?


  • I tried to use the code example from the docs:

        Spawn.prototype.createWorkerCreep = function(name) {
        return this.createCreep([WORK, CARRY, MOVE], name);
    };

    When I try to execute:

    Game.spawns.Spawn1.createWorkerCreep('Worker1');

    I get an error saying the function is not defined.

    I put this as the first thing in my main module in the script section. Is this correct? If someone could enlighten me what I am doing wrong here, that'd be great.

    Thanks.


  • Hmm, I tried a simple test and this works:

    Spawn.prototype.test = function() {
    console.log("Hello world");
}

Game.spawns.Spawn1.test();

    Also, I use this to highlight my code (I hope it shows up correctly) 🙂

    javascript
    <some random code here>

    Are you sure the prototype is included? insert a console line right after declaring the function for test purposes.


  • uh the snippet didn't show up correctly, just watch this link 🙂

  • Yeah I messed up the MD part and didn't find the edit button.

    Interestingly it works when I put the call to the added prototype method in the script tab, but it doesn't work in the console.


  • I looked around in the forum and this seems to be a common problem. Not sure why to include a console at all if you can't it use to access your code.
