Module `LuaHandle`

Callins, functions called by the Engine

This page is future looking to unified widget/gadget (aka "addon") handler, which may yet be some way off, c.f. the changelog.

Related Sourcecode: LuaHandle.cpp

For now, to use these addons in a widget, prepend widget: and, for a gadget, prepend gadget:. For example,

function widget:UnitCreated(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam, builderID)
    ...
end

Some functions may differ between (synced) gadget and widgets; those are in the Synced - Unsynced Shared section. Essentially the reason is that all information should be available to synced (game logic controlling) gadgets, but restricted to unsynced gadget/widget (e.g. information about an enemy unit only detected via radar and not yet in LOS). In such cases the full (synced) param list is documented.

Attention: some callins will only work on the unsynced portion of the gadget. Due to the type-unsafe nature of lua parsing, those callins not firing up might be hard to trace. This document will be continuously updated to properly alert about those situations.

Draw* Functions

Inside the Draw* functions, you can use the Lua OpenGL Api to draw graphics.

Avoid doing heavy calculations inside these callins; ideally, do the calculations elsewhere and use Draw callins only for drawing.

DrawGenesis()

Use this callin to update textures, shaders, etc.

Doesn't render to screen! Also available to LuaMenu.

DrawWorld()

Spring draws command queues, 'map stuff', and map marks.

DrawWorldPreUnit()

Spring draws units, features, some water types, cloaked units, and the sun.

DrawPreDecals()

Called before decals are drawn

DrawWaterPost()

DrawShadowPassTransparent()

Invoked after semi-transparent shadows pass is about to conclude

This callin has depth and color buffer of shadowmap bound via FBO as well as the FFP state to do "semi-transparent" shadows pass (traditionally only used to draw shadows of shadow casting semi-transparent particles). Can be used to draw nice colored shadows.

DrawWorldShadow()

DrawWorldReflection()

DrawWorldRefraction()

DrawGroundPreForward()

Runs at the start of the forward pass when a custom map shader has been assigned via `Spring.SetMapShader` (convenient for setting uniforms).

DrawGroundPostForward()

DrawGroundPreDeferred()

Runs at the start of the deferred pass when a custom map shader has been assigned via `Spring.SetMapShader` (convenient for setting uniforms).

DrawGroundDeferred()

DrawGroundPostDeferred()

This runs at the end of its respective deferred pass.

Allows proper frame compositing (with ground flashes/decals/foliage/etc, which are drawn between it and `DrawWorldPreUnit`) via `gl.CopyToTexture`.

DrawUnitsPostDeferred()

Runs at the end of the unit deferred pass.

Informs Lua code it should make use of the $model_gbuffer_* textures before another pass overwrites them (and to allow proper blending with e.g. cloaked objects which are drawn between these events and DrawWorld via gl.CopyToTexture). N.B. The *PostDeferred events are only sent (and only have a real purpose) if forward drawing is disabled.

DrawFeaturesPostDeferred()

Runs at the end of the feature deferred pass to inform Lua code it should make use of the $model_gbuffer_* textures before another pass overwrites them (and to allow proper blending with e.g.

cloaked objects which are drawn between these events and DrawWorld via gl.CopyToTexture). N.B. The *PostDeferred events are only sent (and only have a real purpose) if forward drawing is disabled.

DrawShadowUnitsLua()

DrawShadowFeaturesLua()
