I need some help for the script.lua of my map

Anachronism_

You can get the Tower Defense Survival map from the vault and look at the script file to see some code examples that you could learn from.

@penguin_ hello guy, I have written some codes for this function, but it doesn't work. Can you help fixing them?

Here are the script codes:

local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua')
local ScenarioFramework = import('/lua/ScenarioFramework.lua')

--units to be restricted
local AIRbuildRestriction = categories.AIR + categories.EXPERIMENTAL + categories.STRATEGIC * (categories.TECH3) + categories.ANTIAIR * (categories.STRUCTURE) + categories.ANTIAIR * (categories.MOBILE)

local rectSizeX = 5
local rectSizeY = 5
local radius = 3.5
local distance = 2
local Color0 = 'FFCEA984' -- CIVILIAN Color
local Color1 = 'FFe80a0a' -- Cybran red
local Color2 = 'ff2e8b57' -- new green
local Color3 = 'FF2929e1' -- UEF blue
local Color4 = 'ffa79602' -- Sera golden
local Color5 = 'ffffffff' -- white
local Color6 = 'FF2F4F4F' -- dark green
local Color7 = 'ff000000' -- black
local Color8 = 'ff901427' -- dark red
local Color9 = 'ff40bf40' -- mid green
local Color10 = 'FF5F01A7' -- dark purple
local Color = {'FFe80a0a', 'ff2e8b57', 'FF2929e1', 'ffa79602', 'ffffffff', 'FF2F4F4F', 'ff000000', 'ff901427', 'ff40bf40', 'FF5F01A7'}

function OnPopulate()
ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies()
local tblArmy = ListArmies()
for index, army in tblArmy do
ScenarioFramework.AddRestriction(army, AIRbuildRestriction)
end

The code style is just all messy in this forum. Just use pastebin.com to share your code. Or even better, GitHub.

I suggest you join the FAF Discord, get the modder role in the #role-selection channel there, and then check out the #modification-resources channel and ask more specific questions in the #modding-general channel.

@magge Hi buddy, I have shared it on GitHub. Do me a favor please

hey buddy! Do you have any idea of my codes? I don't know what's wrong with them Just give me some tips.Thanks so much

Sorry, I am not familiar with LUA.

What code editor are you using as we do have a Intelisense plugin that's being worked on for faf which is located on the faforever GitHub

I use SciTE. Do you have a better choice?

Rowey

Majority use Visual Studio Code for development as that's what our Intelisense is created for

OK, I have installed Visual Studio Code, can you tell me where to download the "Intelisense plugin"? I cannot wait to try it.

Thank you for helping buddy ,you are so kind

@Ghoustaq_14 Any other question feel free to reach out on the discord in adding yourself a role in #role-selection and give your self the mapping role and all the experience people live their and will be bale to aid you further
