[EGP Help] Spacebuild Screen

[architectcobra]

I play Spacebuild a lot, and one of the things that is really helpful is making a EGP screen to track your ships Resources.

I can wire all the Resources together just fine, but this is my prob...

The Problem: Can't seem to find out how to Refresh the EGP to actively output my current Resources, is there a command i am missing?

I found a EGP code from the internet, but it's built for EGP v2, not EGP v3.

Here is the 2 lines I use.

_________________

Egp:egpClear()

Egp:egpDraw()
_________________

But EGP v3 does not Know what "EGP:egpDraw()" is.

Can anyone help?

EGPv3 does not use egpDraw() command. Remove this, and use egpText to write resources to screen. It will update automatically as some of the resource changes.

Here's how it works: egpClear() just wipes the board of everything, you don't want that unless you're changing the objects you have assigned to certain indexes (otherwise you can simply move them around and edit their size).

Here's an example of what you want:

@inputs Screen:wirelink
@inputs Energy
@trigger Energy

if(first()|dupefinished())
{
	Screen:egpText(1,Energy:toString(),vec2(5,5))
}

Screen:egpSetText(1,Energy:toString())

So you have you input energy (or whatever), and the first time around the chip creates the text object under the index of 1 and gives it a value of whatever the energy is. Then every time the Energy changes to a different value (that's what @trigger does), it'll change the text to reflect the new value.

I should be more specific: the @trigger runs the ENTIRE script when any input listed in the @trigger changes. That means if you add other code in there and use an interval or whatever, you'll want to put that "Screen:egpSetText(1,Energy:toString())"
into an "if(clk()){}"
I'm fairly sure that only returns 1 if the chip is executing due to an input change.
