WireSim- The Scriptable WireMod Simulator

[IEF015]

I feel like coding now.

Really cool program.

Alright, I've made a Constant value chip, there's one thing I need to know.
Hooks for Think and When the object is wired up.
Here we go:

Ent:setpic("Addons/Default/images/constant.png");
VA="";
VB="";
VC="";
VD="";

function init()
Ent:setOutputs("A,B,C,D")
Ent:setInputs("")
Settings:addtextinput("Value A","0")
Settings:addtextinput("Value B","0")
Settings:addtextinput("Value C","0")
Settings:addtextinput("Value D","0")
Settings:finalize()
Settings:show()
end

function click()
Ent:triggerOutput("A",VA)
Ent:triggerOutput("B",VB)
Ent:triggerOutput("C",VC)
Ent:triggerOutput("D",VD)
end

function settingsUpdated()
VA=Settings:getstring("Value A")
VB=Settings:getstring("Value B")
VC=Settings:getstring("Value C")
VD=Settings:getstring("Value D")
end

I made it so you need to click on it to make it refresh.

Yay, people already making their own chips!
Hooks for think (e.g. screen update) and onOutputLink/onInputLink are coming in the next release.


Coming Soon:

• More fun hooks, like mouseDown/mouseUp, and the ones mentioned above
• Adding controls to chips (for value displays, digital screen)
• More default chips
• Changing the way settings dialogs are displayed/interacted with (no, this shouldn't break anyone's code). These will be changes like the settings dialog not coming up in a seperate window, but in the "tooltip."
• Autoupdater (to replace SVN eventually)
• Documentation of all Lua functions :D
• Actual Console (instead of that measly log window) with the standard commands like ent_fire, etc.
• Some fun graphics effects

Also, any comments on the graphics?

if you simulate enough of the gmod lua functions, you could reuse the original wire lua files

[cpf]

I thought about that, then.... :P Just soooo many GMod functions that people rely on, and even then you couldn't just copy&paste the lua files...

D: Mine seems so insignificant compared to yours. Great work, though!

New setting ideas:

Settings:addnumpadinput()
Settings:addcheckboxinput()
Settings:addRadiobuttoninput() //This will need 3 args: Label, default value and Group.
Settings:addintinput() //This will make the arrows that can change the value up/down.

[cpf]

Ironically. those inputs are already implemented/working :P (except for the numpad and radiobutton)
I just removed them out of the default Lua. More docs coming soon, since hose names are not correct.
