UAM/Python

This page lists some of the many things you can do with the "uam" Python module!

Commands

SetAgeChronicle and GetAgeChronicle

These are variables that are stored in an Age. They are shared between all players in an Age. If one of them hasn't been set, and you try to get it, you'll get "".

Here's an example of setting the value to "red" if it is currently set to "green":

    import uam
    puzcolor = uam.GetAgeChronicle("PuzzleColour")
    if puzcolor=="green":
        puzcolor = "red"
        uam.SetAgeChronicle("PuzzleColour",puzcolor)

LinkToAge

This links the player to an Age immediately.

Here is an example, for if you want to link to the Age "EderRiltehInaltahv". You could also have specified another spawnpoint, but LinkInPointDefault is the normal starting point in an Age.

    import uam
    uam.LinkToAge("EderRiltehInaltahv","LinkInPointDefault")

PrintKiMessage

Print's a message onto the player's KI.

E.g.

    import uam
    uam.PrintKiMessage("Hello player!")

SetTimer

This is a sane alternative to Cyan's PtAtTimeCallback function. This is much cleaner and simpler to use. Just tell it when you want it to call you back, and what function to call at that time.

This example will have it wait 4.0 seconds, at which time it will print a message to the screen. Notice that the function "SayHello" takes no arguments.

    import uam
    def SayHello():
        uam.PrintKiMessage("Ah my friend, you've returned!")
    uam.SetTimer(SayHello, 4.0)
