* Rename the vector operations to hex_vector (to emphasize that they are NOT standard vector ops) and document them as official API
* Add new get_hexes_at_radius, which returns an unfilled ring (as opposed to get_hexes_in_radius which returns a filled circle)
* Expose the new cubic coordinate conversions
These may be less efficient in some cases, and there's even a couple of degenerate cases, but it's definitely easier to use like this.
This also adds an example of the original method, using a string to reference a separate list.
Basically this means each of the call modes of the old function is now a separate function.
- add_repeating and add_menu take an ID and a function
- add_wml takes variable substitution setting and a config
- add takes the full options table
* These functions take the full event data config as the final argument, rather than just the weapon info subconfigs.
* The [fire_event] tag now supports a [data] tag that can add additional data to the event, for example damage_inflicted. The [primary_attack] and [secondary_attack] tags are still supported and are not deprecated.
* wesnoth.current.event_context now has a data child which holds the full event data. It still duplicates common info (weapons and damage inflicted) in the same way as before.
Unlike the old wesnoth.game_events.on_event hook and the "convenient" on_event() wrapper for it, this new functionality supports all of the features of WML events, with the sole exception of serialization, since it's not possible to reliably serialize a Lua function.
This commit also divorces menu items from the event that they trigger. The undocumented wesnoth.interface.set_menu_item function no longer adds an event for the menu item; the caller needs to separately register an event using the new functionality.
This returns a label handle which allows you to remove, reposition, or replace the label later.
In addition to all the features of wesnoth.print, you can now specify where the label appears onscreen, as well as a fadeout time separate from the duration.
You can also anchor the text to an edge or corner instead of centering in on the screen,
specify the maximum width it can occupy as an absolute width or a percentage,
and specify a background colour and transparency.
It includes a demo scenario that demonstrates many of the capabilities of the API.
To play the demo scenario, run with -toverlay_text_demo or select it from the in-game test list.
