# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
## Awards and Triggers
|
||||
|
||||
An award is a single unlockable unit, registered like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_award("mymod:myaward", {
|
||||
description = "The title of the award",
|
||||
|
||||
-- Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
difficulty = 1.0, -- Difficulty multipler
|
||||
|
||||
requires = { "amod:an_award" }, -- don't show this award or allow it to be unlocked
|
||||
-- until required awards are unlocked
|
||||
|
||||
sound = {}, -- SimpleSoundSpec or false to play no sound
|
||||
-- if not provided, uses default sound
|
||||
|
||||
image = "icon_image.png", -- uses default icon otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
background = "background_image.png", -- uses default background otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
trigger = { -- is only unlocked by direct calls to awards.unlock() otherwise
|
||||
type = "trigger_type",
|
||||
-- see specific docs on the trigger to see what else goes here
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
-- Callback. award_def is this table (plus some additional methods/members added by register_award)
|
||||
on_unlock = function(name, award_def) end,
|
||||
awards.register_award("mymod:award", {
|
||||
description = "My Example Award",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the award is counted, ie: there's a trigger.target property, then the difficulty
|
||||
multipler is timesd by target to get the overal difficulty. If the award isn't a
|
||||
counted type then the difficulty multiplier is used as the overal difficulty.
|
||||
Award difficulty affects how awards are sorted in a list - more difficult awards
|
||||
are further down the list.
|
||||
Awards are unlocked either using `awards.unlock()` or by a trigger being
|
||||
fullfilled. A trigger is a condition which unlocks an award. Triggers are
|
||||
registered at the same time as an award is registered:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_award("mymod:award", {
|
||||
description = "My Example Award",
|
||||
trigger = {
|
||||
type = "dig",
|
||||
node = "default:stone",
|
||||
target = 10,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above trigger type is an example of a counted_key trigger:
|
||||
rather than a single counter there's a counter per key - in this
|
||||
case the key is the value of the `node` field. If you leave out
|
||||
the key in a `counted_key` trigger, then the total will be used
|
||||
instead. For example, here is an award which unlocks after you've
|
||||
placed 10 nodes of any type:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_award("mymod:award", {
|
||||
description = "Place 10 nodes!",
|
||||
trigger = {
|
||||
type = "place",
|
||||
target = 10,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also register an *Unlock Function*, which can return the name of an
|
||||
award to unlock it:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_award("mymod:award", {
|
||||
title = "Lava Miner",
|
||||
description = "Mine any block while being very close to lava.",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
awards.register_on_dig(function(player, data)
|
||||
local pos = player:get_pos()
|
||||
if pos and (minetest.find_node_near(pos, 1, "default:lava_source") or
|
||||
minetest.find_node_near(pos, 1, "default:lava_flowing")) then
|
||||
return "mymod:award"
|
||||
end
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above is a bad example as you don't actually need the stats data given.
|
||||
It would be better to register a `dignode` callback and call `awards.unlock()`
|
||||
if the condition is met.
|
||||
|
||||
## Trigger Types
|
||||
|
||||
The trigger type is used to determine which event will cause the trigger will be
|
||||
fulfilled. The awards mod comes with a number of predefined types, documented
|
||||
in [Builtin Trigger Types](#builtin-trigger-types).
|
||||
|
||||
Trigger types are registered like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_trigger("chat", {
|
||||
type = "counted",
|
||||
progress = "@1/@2 chat messages",
|
||||
auto_description = { "Send a chat message", "Chat @1 times" },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
minetest.register_on_chat_message(function(name, message)
|
||||
local player = minetest.get_player_by_name(name)
|
||||
if not player or string.find(message, "/") then
|
||||
return
|
||||
end
|
||||
awards.notify_chat(player)
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A trigger type has a type as well, which determines how the data is stored and
|
||||
also how the trigger is fulfilled.
|
||||
|
||||
**Trigger Type Types:**
|
||||
|
||||
* **custom** requires you handle the calling of awards.unlock() yourself. You also
|
||||
need to implement on_register() yourself. You'll also probably want to implement
|
||||
`on_register()` to catch awards registered with your trigger type.
|
||||
* **counted** stores a single counter for each player which is incremented by calling
|
||||
`trigger:notify(player)`. Good for homogenous actions like number of chat messages,
|
||||
joins, and the like.
|
||||
* **counted_key** stores a table of counters each indexed by a key. There is also
|
||||
a total field (`__total`) which stores the sum of all counters. A counter is
|
||||
incremented by calling `trigger:notify(player, key)`. This is good for things like
|
||||
placing nodes or crafting items, where the key will be the item or node name.
|
||||
If `key` is an item, then you should also add `key_is_item = true` to the
|
||||
trigger type definition.
|
||||
|
||||
As said, you could use a custom trigger if none of the other ones match your needs.
|
||||
Here's an example.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awards.register_trigger("foo", {
|
||||
type = "counted",
|
||||
progress = "@1/@2 foos",
|
||||
auto_description = { "Do a foo", "Foo @1 times" },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
minetest.register_on_foo(function()
|
||||
for _, trigger in pairs(awards.on.foo) do
|
||||
-- trigger is either a trigger tables or
|
||||
-- or an unlock function.
|
||||
|
||||
-- some complex logic
|
||||
if condition then
|
||||
awards.unlock(trigger)
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
end)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Award Difficulty
|
||||
|
||||
Difficulty is used to determine how awards are sorted in awards lists.
|
||||
|
||||
If the award trigger is counted, ie: the trigger requires a `target` property,
|
||||
then the difficulty multipler is timesd by `target` to get the overall difficulty.
|
||||
If the award isn't a counted type then the difficulty multiplier is used as the
|
||||
overal difficulty. Award difficulty affects how awards are sorted in a list -
|
||||
more difficult awards are further down the list.
|
||||
|
||||
In real terms, `difficulty` is a relative difficulty to do one unit of the trigger
|
||||
if its counted, otherwise it's the relative difficulty of completely doing the
|
||||
award (if not-counted). For the `dig` trigger type, 1 unit would be 1 node dug.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

## Registering Trigger Types
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local trigger = awards.register_trigger(name, {
|
||||
type = "", -- type of trigger, defaults to custom
|
||||
|
||||
progress = "%2/%2"

||||
|
||||
on_register = function(self, def) end,

||||
|
||||
-- "counted_key" only, when no key is given (ie: a total)
|
||||
auto_description_total = { "Mine @1 block.", "Mine @1 blocks." },
|
||||
|
||||
-- "counted_key" only, get key for particular award - return nil for a total
|
||||
get_key = function(self, def)
|
||||
return minetest.registered_aliases[def.trigger.node] or def.trigger.node
|
||||
end,
|
||||
|
||||
-- "counted_key" only, true if the key is an item name. On notify(),
|
||||
-- any watched groups will also be notified as `group:groupname` keys.
|
||||
key_is_item = true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Types:
|
||||
|
||||
* "custom" requires you handle the calling of awards.unlock() yourself. You also
|
||||
need to implement on_register() yourself.
|
||||
* "counted" stores a single counter for each player which is incremented by calling
|
||||
trigger:notify(player). Good for homogenous actions like number of chat messages,
|
||||
joins, and the like.
|
||||
* "counted_key" stores a table of counters each indexed by a key. There is also
|
||||
a total field (`__total`) which stores the sum of all counters. A counter is
|
||||
incremented by calling trigger:notify(player, key). This is good for things like
|
||||
placing nodes or crafting items, where the key will be the item or node name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Helper Functions
|
||||
# API
|
||||
|
||||
* awards.register_award(name, def), the def table has the following fields:
|
||||
* `description` - the title of the award. Required.
|
||||
* `difficulty` - see [Award Difficulty](#award-difficulty).
|
||||
* `requires` - list of awards that need to be unlocked before this one
|
||||
is visible.
|
||||
* `sound` - `SimpleSoundSpec` table to play on unlock.
|
||||
`false` to disable unlock sound.
|
||||
* `image` - the icon image, use default otherwise.
|
||||
* `background` - the background image, use default otherwise.
|
||||
* `trigger` - trigger definition, see [Builtin Trigger Types](#builtin-trigger-types).
|
||||
* `on_unlock(name, def)` - callback on unlock.
|
||||
* awards.register_trigger(name, def), the def table has the following fields:
|
||||
* `type` - see [Trigger Types](#trigger-types).
|
||||
* `progress` - used to format progress, defaults to "%1/%2".
|
||||
* `auto_description` - a table of two elements. Each element is a format string. Element 1 is singular, element 2 is plural. Used for the award description (not title) if none is given.
|
||||
* `on_register(award_def)` - called when an award registers with this type.
|
||||
* "counted_key" only:
|
||||
* `auto_description_total` - Used if the trigger is for the total.
|
||||
* `get_key(self, def)` - get key for particular award, return nil for a total.
|
||||
* `key_is_item` - true if the key is an item name. On notify(),
|
||||
any watched groups will also be notified as `group:groupname` keys.
|
||||
* awards.register_on_unlock(func(name, def))
|
||||
* name is the player name
|
||||
* def is the award def.
|
||||
* return true to cancel HUD
|
||||
|
||||
* awards.unlock(name, award)
|
||||
* gives an award to a player
|
||||
* name is the player name

# Included in the Mod
|
||||
|
||||
The API, above, allows you to register awards
|
||||
and triggers (things that look for events and unlock awards, they need
|
||||
to be registered in order to get details from award_def.trigger).
|
||||
|
||||
However, all awards and triggers are separate from the API.
|
||||
They can be found in init.lua and triggers.lua
|
||||
