What's needed to fully use the placement system (afaik)
That note can be found at
https://github.com/Helwor/Hel-K/blob/main/NOTE%20Placement%20System%20requirements.txtUtilsFunc.lua
bunch of useful funcs
gui_show_eco_action.lua (modified vanilla)
add the possibility to show grid and current build radius without having the build command active (draw placement remove the command build during placement)
cmd_mex_placement.lua (modified vanilla)
allow to work better in coordination of the placement system, add option for removing the right click mex on metal spot (preferable but EzTarget.lua come into play to have a move order
instead, EzTarget is not stand alone and might be explained on another note)
unit_initial_queue.lua (modified vanilla)
needed to manage pregame build placement (auto terraform included)
cmd_factory_plate_placer.lua (modified vanilla)
needed for allowing to shift order plate on a factory that is not yet build but just placed
cmd_hold_ctrl_to_place_and_morph.lua (modified vanilla)
allow insert order to work aswell for auto morph
(insert order is needed to force the engine to accept a build order on unfit terrain)
persistent_build_height2.lua
main terraform and elevation UI handler, lots of features you will discover
(you need to deactivate vanilla gui_persistent_build_height.lua)
draw_placements.lua
handling free handed placement drawing, build controls, lots of features to discover
DrawTerra2.lua
only handling the previsualization and can be deactivated, many options
-HasViewChanged.lua (API) managing viewable units, camera specs ...
-OnWidgetState (API) calls widgets that want it, to know which widget has been initialized/shutdown...
other camera mode than TA or COFC is not supported (but might work idk, also rotation in COFC has never been tested)
-- EXTRA
cmd_commandinsert2.lua (widget stand alone)
allow rapid/multi insertion via a virtual queue system (optionnable, but default options are best so far and work for sure)
auto disable the vanilla cmd_commandinsert.lua and can be switched back in option
NOTE: not perfectly working as it is a guess and can be resource hungry with many cons having many orders,
ideally engine would require to accept some mod with CMD_INSERT to calculate itself the best position according to received orders
MoveAwayFromLevelBuild.lua (widget stand alone)
the con move away from an elevated build he would step on (spire included)
FixAlreadyBuiltInQueue.lua (widget stand alone)
the con skip a next build order already achieved whenever he finish a current order
StopReclaim.lua (widget stand alone)
ordering a con to stop when he just started a build will order him to reclaim it (optionnable)
StriderHubAlt.lua (widget stand alone but can use -SelectionAPI.lua)
allow the alt key to work for athenas and strider hub as it work with factory (if strider hub is on repeat, order build with alt make it a one time build)
(working for athena is optionnable as it would then conflict the alt modkey for placing build)
allow the stop production action for athenas and strider hub to work as it work for factory
terra_unit_handler2.lua (widget stand_alone)
auto delete terra unit when the corresponding elevated build has been cancelled by user (not working in every situation, has yet to debug that)
gui_persistent_build_spacing.lua (replacing the vanilla one)
my original build spacer, the vanilla is mine but not has been fully accepted
PS: many of annexes and work arounds was needed to compensate for the lack of engine featured tools and callins
