// build generator if needed
if (generatorsRequired()) {
// tell a free truck to build a power generator
}
// build all required generators
var i;
if (i=generatorsRequired()) while (-1<--i) {
// tell a free truck to build a power generator
}
// how many more generators does player 3 need?
console("Player 3 needs "+generatorsRequired(3)+" more generators to power their resource extractors."); |
Notes
If you just want a super-quick check to see if more generators are required, without being able to specify which player or find out how many generators are required, you could use this simplified alternative:
Code Block | |
---|---|
|
...
| |||||
function generatorsRequired() {
return (enumStruct(me,RESOURCE_EXTRACTOR).length > enumStruct(me,POWER_GEN).length*4);
}
// do I need more generators?
if (generatorsRequired()) {
// build a generator
} |
