4. Defining the Amount of Sources in a Room

Defining the Amount of Sources in a Room


  • Is there a way to define the amount of sources in a room? If I can then I can spawn an appropriate number of creeps for each source.


  • Can't you just call something like .find(FIND_SOURCES).length to determine the number of sources in a room?

  • Maybe you could try

    let source = creep.room.find(FIND_SOURCES)
let NumberOfSources = source.length

  • That works!

    if (numberOfDrills < source.length)
{
    name = Game.spawns.Spawn1.createCreep([WORK,WORK,MOVE], undefined, {role: 'Driller'});
}

  • @gankdalf Ill see what I can do about your code but I'm going for a way to define the amount of sources and use it anywhere in my code.


  • Define 'sources' as a proporty/function on the Room object by extending it. Up to you if you want to return the actual sources, or the length of the array...


  • So the code only seemed to work for a little bit and when I came back it didn't work. I assume its because I didn't spawn any creeps and the creep.room.find(FIND_SOURCES) couldn't be defined without any creeps spawned.

  • Just keep that in mind


  • Yes, you would need to get the room some other way, since no creeps exist you obviously can't use creep. ... whatever.

    You can get it with Game.rooms[roomName] or any other method for getting the room. The only requirement is that you have vision of the room, which doesn't require creeps.
