xD

Let say I was tired ^^

Hi,

I was trying to share the energy load to spwan genral purpose creep (as attacker, healer,...) betwen rooms and found something weird..

function checkAttackFlag(tFlags)
{
 for(var i = 0; i < tFlags.length; ++i)
 {
  var defender = _.filter(Game.creeps, (minion) => { return minion.memory.role == 'defender' && minion.memory.target == tFlags[i].name})
  var qt = defender.length;
 
  _.forEach(Game.spawns, function(spawn) {
    if(!(qt < tFlags[i].memory.qt))
      return false;
    if(!_.includes(spawnUsed, spawn.name))
    {
      var newName = Game.spawns.HomeSweetHome.createCreep(defenderLayout[tFlags[i].memory.rank], {role:'defender', criticalStatus:false, target:tFlags[i].name});
      if(_.isString(newName))
      {
        console.log(spawn.name+'=>Spawning new defender('+tFlags[i].name+') '+newName);
        spawnUsed.push(spawn.name);
        ++qt;
       }
       else
       {
        console.log("Busy ("+tFlags[i].name+"): "+spawn.name+" | ");
       }
    } 
   });
  }
}

As you can see 5 creeps were order to be produce but in fact only HomeSweetHome did produce a creep and spawn1 was already producing an other creep but it did return a name and not ERR_BUSY..

Is there a link with loadash I don't know..

Hi,

It could be nice to have a double click when you want to remove a flag like with creeps or structures, because too many time with a miss click when trying to click on "view memory" I delete the flags and I think I'm not the only one ^^

Indeed I'm more interested with distance rather than path because it's only to choose the closest spawn from a flag.. And the pathfinder is very costly.

@cyberblast I didn't have time to check the pathfinder docs and getRoomLinearDistance, yet

Hi,

I'm trying to find the closest objects from an array of objects that could be across differents room.

I tried pos.findClosestByRange but it only work if it's in the same room (The documentation doesn't say it by the way).

Also I tried wit pos.GetRangeTo but it return infinity.

So do we have to process RoomName and calculate by ourself the distance ?

Thanks,

Thanks,

I was writting the scout way but I didn't though about simulating my own ticksToEnd ;).

Hi,

I'm trying to have efficients claimer because at low RCL they are costly. What I'm trying to do is analyze the situation in the targeted room (by a flag) to know if I have to spawn a claimer to make the reservation ticks go up. The problem is that I have no vision in the room so I can't check the controller (I didn't unlock the observer yet), is there any workarround ?

Thanks,

Hey

You could also check for energy available. With every find function you can add a function to filter your research.

var source = spawn.pos.findClosestByRange(FIND_SOURCES, {

filter:(source)=>{ return /*your test here*/ true;}

});

if(!source){/**no sources found, do something else*/}

if(creep.harvest(source) == ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE) {
  creep.moveTo(source);
}

Ok, I didn't know that boosted creep drop minerals I only saw energy when I did encountered them

Hi,

I found something strange today, someone did have zynthium hydride stored in a container but he didn't had any lab/terminal and no one in the area have one of them... So how could that be ?
