Sota-Lua-DrawRadii - Draw some circles around you

Here's my take on the ShroudWorldToScreenPoint()

This overbloated script will draw effective ranges of bard skills while in combat (for now)

https://github.com/John-Markus/Sota...load/v1.1.0/Sota-Lua-DrawRadii-20220821-1.zip

Notables:

• Supports all UI languages (including Japanese language mods) for those Lua APIs that return localized strings instead of fixed IDs.
• Uses additional module loading via assert(loadsafe(text read from file))
• Uses additional data loading from .json file

 

Here are few things that might be useful:

• data/unique_skills.json: List of skills that are localized uniquely (no two languages have same localization) mapped against the language - Useful for detecting current languages.
• data/schools_map.json: Skill ID mapped against school of skills - Useful if you want to divide into different functions depending on school of skills.
• data/skills_map.json: Maps Skill ID to localized Skill name for each languages.
• data/skills_map_rev.json: Maps localized Skill name to Skill IDs for each languages.
• importModule function: Let's you read another Lua file (needs absolute paths) and instantiate as object.

Code:

function importModule(filename)
    local _path = ShroudLuaPath .. "/Sota-Lua-DrawRadii/modules/lib_" .. filename .. ".lua"
    local file = io.open(_path)
    local data = file:read("*all")
    file:close()
    local obj = assert(loadsafe(data))
    if obj then
        _G["init_" .. filename] = obj
        ShroudConsoleLog("Loaded lua module: " .. filename)
    else
        ShroudConsoleLog("Module Load Failed: " .. _path)
    end
end

importModule("submodule")
myobj = init_submodule()
myobj.somefunction()

Code:

module = { }

module.somefunction = function(args)

end

return module

• importJSON: Reads JSON data from file and return as a Lua table (needs absolute paths)

Code:

function importJSON(filename)
    local _path = ShroudLuaPath .. "/Sota-Lua-DrawRadii/data/" .. filename
    local file = io.open(_path)
    local data = file:read("*all")
    file:close()
    local _data = json.parse(data)
    if _data then
        ShroudConsoleLog("Loaded JSON data: " .. filename)
        return _data
    end
    ShroudConsoleLog("JSON Load failed: " .. _path)
    return { }
end

• Drawing a line using UI.Image

Code:

function DrawLine(ui_object, X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
    -- Calculate parameters for rotating and resizing solid texture into lines
    -- Left Top is (0, 0)
    local _size = math.ceil(math.sqrt(math.pow(X2 - X1, 2) + math.pow(Y2 - Y1, 2)))
    local _slope = math.deg(math.atan2(X2 - X1 , Y2 - Y1)) + 270

    -- Perform UI object modifications
    ShroudSetPosition    (ui_object, UI.Image, X1, Y1)
    ShroudSetSize        (ui_object, UI.Image, _size, 1)
    ShroudRotateObject   (ui_object, UI.image, _slope)
    ShroudShowObject     (ui_object, UI.Image)
    ShroudSetTransparency(ui_object, UI.Image, 1)
end

 

great job on this @John Markus! very well thought out addon and seems to work great on all the skills i have tried so far. 100% going to keep this one active love that you incorporated the ResoundingReachBonus stat

 

It is worth mentioning that ShroudWorldToScreenPoint() returns coordinate system that places (0, 0) on the left bottom.
You need to reverse the Y axis to convert it to traditional drawing coordinate that has (0, 0) on the left top.

Code:

    local vOut = ShroudWorldToScreenPoint(x, y, z)

    vOut.y = ShroudGetScreenY() - vOut.y
    return vOut
