question Random player position with already existing CC

[Grapjas]

@Stan` @badosu ive got a few new questions:

1. Is it possible in js to simulate a keypress? e.g. at the start of the game the script presses "." for the player to select the first idle unit.
2. To make the camera jump to a spot on the map? 

[badosu]

Both are possible in the session context. Not sure in map triggers.

For camera search for camera on prodmod github.

@badosu 

    Engine.CameraMoveTo(1000, 800); <-- should be correct, but doesnt work. Gives back 'CameraMoveTo is not a function' even though it's literally used this way in other scripts, like your monitor mod but also in vanilla. Must be a root level issue.

    QueryPlayerIDInterface(1).SetStartingCamera(1000, 0); <-- Throws no errors but doesnt do anything either. 

Do you maybe have ideas on how i could manipulate where i want the camera to be? It's my only issue left right now with this mod.

Camera is usually overriden by the map, it tries to locate the cc IIRC https://github.com/0ad/0ad/blob/965f7c7e0afdac1b83c3a31c4fe702cdc1be18cf/source/graphics/MapReader.cpp#L1112

It does so correctly, but because i'm randomizing the positions of players it just takes the old spot where the player was.

I guess the randomnization happens too late

Yeah i figured. Does this mean what i'm trying to do is impossible though? Repositioning the camera in whatever way? Kinda would make this entire project useless tbh..

No. What you want to do is entirely supported.
