Megadroid, I know that this is kind of irrelevant, but is there any way for LUA to save a text file containing units selected for the next mission?

EG:

Code: Select all

BEGINSHIP
NAME U.S.S. Enterprise-E
ODF fed_sovereignYr6
// percent, max hitpoints
HEALTH 0.96 215
SHIELDS 0.52 635
ENERGY 0.75 688
// percent, active
SHIELDGEN 0.94 1
ENGINE 0.93 1
SENSOR 0.79 0
WEAPONS 0.46 0
LIFESUPPORT 0.33 1
// number, max
CREW 268 725
ENDSHIP

you should be able to write a txt file with a io command if its been incorporated into lua. as long as it's done correctly should work fine i think but I can't think of a way to encrypt it so people can simply "cheat."

Edit: I'm chillin on Teamspeak as of 12:20 PM

What you'd need is serialization, which MMM doesn't support yet AFAIK. Value stuff you could handle with YAML or JSON, but I don't know about game engine things like the associated model...
