Xenobot Lua Documentation

@Syntax

I think I'll move it to wikia, so I can separate each function per page and add examples of usage, because it's hard to keep 15k characters on each post, otherwise in each update I'll need to delete others posts to keep the order. What do you think ?

example:

Fine by me.

Or maybe an increase in the maximum characters per post? But wikia looks sexy too :eek:

Well, I'm sticking it into wikia, to see documentation see this link: http://xenobot.wikia.com/wiki/Documentation

So basically everything is done in the same way as in the example provided by DarkstaR in the changelog when the function was added.

No idea why this isn't working... :(

Could someone give me a simple example of how to recognise the input from a Channel please? I just cant seem to get it working correctly and the documentation on the wiki doesn't explain it.

I can't seem to figure out which variables should be within the anonymous function for the speech callback


Edit: Here's some code I made while trying to get it to work. I had a look through the XenoLuaLib file and it looks like when someone speaks the speech callback is called with a variable 'message', but it still seems to print blank in the server log.

Code:

---

ConfigChannel = {}

function ConfigChannel:new()
        local configChannel = {}
        local thisChannel = nil
       
        function configChannel:open(channelName)
                thisChannel = Channel.New(channelName, function(message) self:inputReceived(message) end, function() print("closed") end)
        end
       
        function configChannel:stop()
                thisChannel:Close()
        end
       
        function configChannel:inputReceived(message)
                print(message)
        end
       
        configChannel:open("Config")
       
        return configChannel
end

configChannel = ConfigChannel:new()

---

Here's the parts of the code from the XenoLuaLib file I'm referring to above:

Code:

---

function Channel:SpeakCallback(message)
    if (self._speakCallback == nil) then return 0 end
    return self._speakCallback(self, message)
end

---

Code:

---

function libOnCustomChannelSpeak(channel, message)
    for i, c in ipairs(libChannels) do
        if (c:ID() == math.floor(channel)) then
            c:SpeakCallback(message)
            break
        end
    end
end

---

Edit: Nevermind! I got it working after looking through the XenoLuaLib some more. I just needed another variable for the channel object. e.g.

Code:

---

        function configChannel:open(channelName)
                thisChannel = Channel.New(channelName, function(obj, message) self:inputReceived(message) end, function() print("closed") end)
        end

Thank you! It has worked perfectly!
