Players can add multiple organelles of the same type, so yes, organelles within a microbe may end up competing for materials. I'm not sure if we need a priority system for that, though. It might actually be interesting gameplay to micro-manage the organelles during times of scarce resources by toggling them on and off as needed. On an unrelated note, I vote for our first poison organelle to be named "oxytoxy-neuro-toxin organelle". |
|
Perhaps i should go ask the design people what they think about multiple-consumer organelles then? And that naming was never up for discussion! |
|
The discussion about organelle mechanics mostly took place in this thread, which resulted in this wiki page. However, I'm pretty sure that different organelles using the same resource will be pretty common. I think all movement organelles (maybe even all organelles, but that's for the biologists to decide) will use the ATP agent and the players are free to attach as many movement organelles as they want. The same goes for processing organelles, I presume. |
|
I'll implement a buffer for each producer with fair distribution of input agents then, should be easy enough to change to something else, if micro management or a more advanced priority system is desired. |
|
There is some useful documentation done by Seregon on the different organelles and their processes for the Microbe Stage. Here it is: http://thrivegame.forum-free.ca/t997p120-microbial-compounds-and-organelles#28200 I originally posted it here, but it wouldn't format properly. |
|
Also, note the distinction I explained on that thread between agents and compounds. Agents are chemicals released by a microbe, whereas compounds are what makes up everything in the game, like sand, wood, coal, etc. |
|
I'm pretty much done with the solution for this issue, however its not working.. |
|
I think that's a nasty case of "misleading error message" in luabind. Try calling Oh, by the way. When you are working on a feature and have some of it done, you can already make a pull request. Even if the feature is far from done, it's a great way to discuss the work in progress. |
Merged

I've committed some minor fixes and opened a pull request so that we can comment on specific lines. |

Closes #41 Add ProcessOrganelle Fixed syntax in process_organelle.lua and added hasInputAgent method to ProcessOrganelle class Added ProcessOrganelle support into Microbe class, and added process_organelle.lua to manifest Added code to setup.lua to test ProcessOrganelle (currently not working) Minor fixes to ProcessOrganelle related code in process_organelle.lua and microbe.lua Minor formatting and reintroduced function missing in process_organelle.lua Fix some minor errors in the ProcessOrganelle script * Use table.insert instead of a[#a+1] to not repeat the table name * Call superclass' constructor in ProcessOrganelle.__init * Explicitly pass self to Organelle.update in ProcessOrganelle.update * Lua has no -= (or += for that matter) * Typos Fixed error in loading a savegame with ProcessOrganelle. Removed debugging code in microbe.lua Created cooldown system for Process organelles, limiting the frequency of agent absorbtion and production Fixed missing local specifier on two variables in process_organelle.lua Implemeneted colours for process organelles to reflect how filled it is. Also minor bugfixes Move "local" to where it belongs Made distribution of agents, dependant on time elapsed instead of frames.

Involves a refactoring of emitter components Exposed AgentComponent to lua Added exposed AgentComponent to script_bindings.cpp Add explicit "this->" in SystemWrapper Just to get it in line with the styleguide. Catch luabind::error and print a more helpful error message Added functionality for ejecting excess compounds in Microbe:storeAgent. Set a lower capacity on energy in player microbe to display the effect. Moved all compound emission code to AgentEmitterComponent and replaced existing code with calls to emitAgent(...) Changed emitAgent parameters to include agentId and amount. Discovered a bug relating to particle lifetime for custom emitter. Added TimedAgentEmitterComponent for automatic emission of agents instead of that being default Add Collision system for handling custom events upon collisions. squashed commits: Implementation of custom collision events. Some questionable design choices within. (Untested) Updated collision system to new structure. Now uses CollisionHandlerComponent and CollisionSystem. Manifolds used instead of global callback. Fixed previous compile error - a new one has taken it's place (uintptr_tr not defined) Basic working state achieved. m_collisionCallbackKey assignment from lua does not seem to take effect. Also storage and load still needs implementing, and agentabsorber system needs refactoring. Storage and load implemented. AgentAbsorber system & component refactored to use this system. Acceptance tests performed Collision filters added, not fully functional Collision functionality nearly updated. Needs cleanup, testing and integration with agentabsorber. Working CollisionFilter class. Attempt at exposing CollisionFilter to lua. Not successful. Fixes to improve usage of CollisionFilter. Now uses Collision struct instead of typedef to pair of entityIds. Better model for exposure to lua (still doesn't quite work). Cleaned up documentation and header includes. Fixed minor compile error Collision system finalized. - Added a member to Collision to represent the duration of collision represented since last clearCollisions(). This member will allow more fine grained control of collision handling (damage every 0.5 second, etc). - Cleaned up documentation and debugging code. Renamed CollisionHandlerComponent to CollisionComponent. Added removeCollisionGroup to CollisionComponent. Added constructor taking a collision group to CollisionComponent Refactoring of CollisionSystem. Stopped using mutable keyword in collision class and instead uses unordered map. Added a vector<collision*> mirroring the contents of the unordered_map to allow iteration in lua. Changed to using boost::map_values for iteration. Rebased onto master.

Refactor signature handling of CollisionFilter Returning a pair of references is a little tricky because it's not obvious how the std::pair template will handle it.

Use static initializers when possible Minor refactoring * Use typedefs (i.e. CollisionFilter::Signature) instead of repeating the type * Use emplace when possible, it's more readable than constructing the collection item manually * Rename permutation -> combination Do not register collision filter in Implementation constructor At that point, the m_impl field of the CollisionFilter is not initialized yet (because the Implementation object is not fully constructed). The CollisionSystem asks the filter for its signature, which is saved in the m_impl object. Since this doesn't point to anything useful yet, it crashes.

AI now working (still on player) - Will seek out emitters emitting oxygen or glucose if it's missing it. - Will wander randomly while sated Now spawning additional AI controlled microbes - Microbe class interface changed to match required entity-like interface for despawning Program will eventually crash due to Z being set to non-zero for undetermined reasons. Non-proper fix of non-zero z value crashes. AI microbes with different colors Bad fix for Z-desync Fixed that all AI was spawned @ 0,0. Cleaned up debugging code. Made proper random choice of emitters for AI. Previous fix for randomized spawning position did not work, unable to find a fix. Fixed random positioned spawning Added proper destruction of MicrobeAISystem. Reverted some bad design choices regarding microbe interface.

To simulate a simple metabolism inside a microbe, organelles for transforming agents (materials) into other agents (products) are required. These ProcessOrganelles should take a set (but configurable) amount of materials from their microbe with
Microbe:takeAgentand, if enough materials are available, store the products withMicrobe:storeAgent.To make the process configurable, the following API functions are suggested:
The material and product amounts are stored in a table. The
ProcessOrganelle:update()function iterates over the material table, checking if a sufficient amount is available. If yes, it takes those amounts from the microbe's storage organelles and stores the product amounts in turn.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
