The hammer will now only construct definitions that have the callback "IsHammerBuidable". This will exclude all C4D_Structure objects that are not buildings and can't be build in a meaningful way.
Also, with the carry heavy branch I want to test adhoc built lorries (lorries as construction sites). Sven suggested this.
Previously, sharing the logic made sense, because both objects used variables to store the liquid. Now, the liquid container stores liquid in an object - this is not desirable in the pump because it would create and remove objects for no good reason (only so that it has a virtual liquid storage) every time it pumps. Consequently, liquid objects cannot enter a pump anymore.
The steam engine can burn oil as fuel now. Added test to power system unit test. Still needs support for actually getting oil into the engine.
Fixed a bug in LiquidContainer that would return no liquid if the entire contents are removed. Added unit test for said bug.
Fixed overspilling of connected liquid containers. Pump no longer counts as a liquid container/tank, so that it still spills liquid if no drain is connected.
The pump actually stores liquid until it can pump. This may not be desired, but it was like that before my changes already. This probably is better than having it drop excess material at the pump.
The pump can transfer liquids to and from liquid containers now. Changed the material storage from material index to material name now, because liquid containers may contain fantasy liquids, too. The pipe cannot output such imaginary liquids though, so only transfer between compatible containers is possible.
The pipe can be connected from the interaction menu now, too. Expanded the disconnection logic, because more problems arise when the pipe can still be connected to other structures - it would be sufficient to remove the line, but that could be annoying:
- if the pipe is connected to a container, then you can disconnect the pipe from that liquid tank and it will still be connected to the pump
- if you disconnect the pipe from the pump, then it will disconnect from the liquid tank as well
Maybe this is confusing to the user, we can still kick that out later again.
The pump is rather complex. This should allow for (new) players to figure out faster whether e.g. the drain pipe is clogged (as opposed to them doing anything wrong).
Previously, the em <-> pixels conversion was a hardcoded value. Now the GUI scales with the font size that can be selected in the options.
Sadly, all scales were off since the hardcoded value was too low.
ExtractMaterial has been changed to be able to slurp in from the most distant horizontal position rather than the closest to the extraction top center.
Also speed up ExtractMaterial for the common case of no required horizontal shifts.
This makes it easier for internal calculations and that value of 10 now represents a single light bulb. It is advisable to only use multiples of 10 for production and consumption values.
