Components

Components are at the core of the terminal, they are responsible for handling the logic and can be swapped out to change the terminal's behavior. Use them to turn change a dualcap behaves or to account for bots in the player count.

Installing terminal components

In the server file:

wrapper:SwitchTerminalComponent("updatePoints",myNewUpdatePointsFunction)

Examples

[dualcap] -Lock the capture state only if there are the same amount of players of both teams on the terminal

function updateCaptureProgress(terminal: terminal, tickRate: number) : number
    local newCaptureProgress = terminal.CaptureProgress
    local attackersCount, defendersCount = terminal.attackersCount, terminal.defendersCount

    if attackersCount > defendersCount then
        newCaptureProgress += 1 / tickRate
    elseif defendersCount > attackersCount then
        newCaptureProgress -= 1 / tickRate
    elseif attackersCount == 0 and defendersCount == 0 then
        if(terminal.Config.resetIfTermIsEmpty == true) then
            if(math.abs(newCaptureProgress) < 0.1)then
                newCaptureProgress = 0
            end

            if(newCaptureProgress > 0) then
                newCaptureProgress -= (1/tickRate)
            elseif(newCaptureProgress < 0) then
                newCaptureProgress += (1/tickRate)
            end
        end
    end

    if newCaptureProgress > terminal.Config.captureTime then
        newCaptureProgress = terminal.Config.captureTime
    elseif newCaptureProgress < -terminal.Config.captureTime then
        newCaptureProgress = -terminal.Config.captureTime
    end

    return newCaptureProgress
end

wrapper:SwitchTerminalComponent("updateCaptureProgress",updateCaptureProgress)

Instantly capture the point from neutral

function updateCaptureProgress(terminal: terminal, tickRate: number) : number
	local newCaptureProgress = terminal.CaptureProgress
	local attackersCount, defendersCount = terminal.attackersCount, terminal.defendersCount

	if attackersCount > 0 and defendersCount == 0 then
		if(newCaptureProgress + (1 / tickRate) > 0)then
			newCaptureProgress = terminal.Config.captureTime
		else
			newCaptureProgress += 1 / tickRate
		end
	elseif defendersCount > 0 and attackersCount == 0 then
		if(newCaptureProgress - (1 / tickRate) < 0)then
			newCaptureProgress = -terminal.Config.captureTime
		else
			newCaptureProgress -= 1 / tickRate
		end
	elseif attackersCount == 0 and defendersCount == 0 then
		if(terminal.Config.resetIfTermIsEmpty == true) then
			if(math.abs(newCaptureProgress) < 0.1)then
				newCaptureProgress = 0
			end

			if(newCaptureProgress > 0) then
				newCaptureProgress -= (1/tickRate)
			elseif(newCaptureProgress < 0) then
				newCaptureProgress += (1/tickRate)
			end
		end
	end

	if newCaptureProgress > terminal.Config.captureTime then
		newCaptureProgress = terminal.Config.captureTime
	elseif newCaptureProgress < -terminal.Config.captureTime then
		newCaptureProgress = -terminal.Config.captureTime
	end

	return newCaptureProgress
end
