backport.dorder.js

Jun 14, 2012

Overview

Adds missing DORDER (droid order) constants that are applicable to the .order property of Droid objects.

Availability

 Requires backport.js

Compatible with all versions of Warzone from 3.1 Beta 1 and above.

If constants are already defined, dorder.js will not overwrite them.

Notes

The JS API is gradually exposing more of the DORDER constants over time, however most of the constants are usable with releases going right back to 3.1 Beta 1.

To use dorder.js, download it and include() it in your script - all missing orders will automatically be defined ready for use in your script. Existing constants will not be overwritten.

The C++ code has a DORDER_TEMP_HOLD while the JS API has a DORDER_HOLD – I've chosen to use the JS API's name as it's going to be more widely documented.

Some of the orders can't currently be issued to a droid via a script - for example there's no function capable of accepting the parameters required for DORDER_LINEBUILD, and the game is hard-coded to prevent AI players from using DORDER_RECOVER.

Full list of constants

Here's a list of all the DORDER constants you'll have after including dorder.js in your script:
