Player Research Granting and Restrictions

Homeworld Remastered Collection Homeworld Mods and Modding
#1

Hi,

Need some help here with an “Player_UnrestrictResearchOption” that I used to have in a script for the previous version of the game, but now it doesn’t work any more:

function Balance(playerid)
	Player_UnrestrictResearchOption(playerid, PlayerRace_GetString(playerid, "Balance_research_Unrestrict", ""))
	Player_UnrestrictBuildOption(playerid, PlayerRace_GetString(playerid, "Balance_build_Unrestrict", ""))
	Player_RestrictBuildOption(playerid, PlayerRace_GetString(playerid, "Balance_build_restrict", ""))
end

function HW2BalanceToggle()
	local i=0;
	local numplayers=Universe_PlayerCount();
	while (i<numplayers) do
		Balance(i);
		i=(i + 1);
	end
	

end
     luaplayer 144:  Player_UnrestrictResearchOption: unable to unrestrict (AttackBomberImprovedBombs) 
     parameter: 3
    stack traceback:
       1:  function `Balance' at line 2 [string ""]
       2:  function `HW2BalanceToggle' at line 11 [string ""]
       3:  function `OnInit' at line 57 [string ""]

The strange thing is that not even granting all research works as intended, I’m not sure what is happening, but seems that I’m missing something obvious.

#2

Whenever this is called in the stock game files (always in sp mission scripts), the following lines are in the lua file:

dofilepath("data:scripts/SCAR/SCAR_Util.lua")
dofilepath("data:scripts/scar/restrict.lua")

Did you try including them?

#3

Yes, I did, they are included in the Deathmatch.lua, that now is split in 2 files, I actually customized it with my own, which I made it in the same manner.

I also get many of these:

[code]
luaplayer 300: Player_GrantResearchOption: unable to grant (cpuplayers_defensive)
parameter: 1
stack traceback:
1: function `research_init’ at line 26 [string “”]
[\code]

Those may have something to do with each other.

#4

I found the problem, the research were unable to be granted, restricted or unrestricted because those were not inside scripts\research, but I had them in the def_research.lua as in the previous version.
