ChatGPT can answer scripting questions related to the Clausewitz Engine

[KlyptoK]

I've had poor luck in trying to get clear info about some things and have been trying to ask ChatGPT for some info with some better results.

what is a parentanchor?

In the Clausewitz engine, the parentanchor property is used to specify the anchor point of a GUI element relative to its parent container. The anchor point determines the position of the element within its parent container, based on the values of the parentanchor property.

The parentanchor property is typically set as a combination of two values: a horizontal alignment value (such as left, center, or right) and a vertical alignment value (such as top, middle, or bottom). For example, parentanchor = left|middle would align the element to the left side of its parent container, with the vertical position of the element being aligned to the middle of the parent container.

The parentanchor property is often used in combination with the size property to specify the position and size of a GUI element within its parent container. For example, you could use parentanchor = left|middle and size = {100 50} to position an element 100 pixels to the right of the left edge of its parent container, and 50 pixels down from the middle of its parent container.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

what about elide?

In the Clausewitz engine, the elide property is used to specify how text should be displayed if it does not fit within the available space. Elision is a technique used to truncate text and replace it with an ellipsis (...) to indicate that the text has been shortened.

The elide property can be set to one of several different values to specify how elision should be applied to text that does not fit within the available space:

left: Elide the text from the right and display an ellipsis at the end.
right: Elide the text from the left and display an ellipsis at the beginning.
middle: Elide the text from both the left and right and display an ellipsis in the middle.
For example, you could use elide = right to specify that text should be elided from the left if it does not fit within the available space, and an ellipsis should be displayed at the beginning of the text.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Do note that the AI bot only has information from 2021 and earlier that use the same game engine and does not have much if any data specific on Victoria 3. It is also possible for the AI to be mistaken and should be treated as advice from any other stranger and not be taken as authoritative.

That said, it has still been very helpful it trying to understand the meaning of some of the scripting language features like a super google.

I have not tried to ask it to generate code for mods yet.

Brother, how do you use this?How do you use chatgpt to get it to write this code?

The question is does it work?

ChatGPT can generate code for you, but sometimes it is wrong. Like I said it's more of an overly helpful stranger that can make mistakes than an flawless absolute

lua extensions for mods? Is that even possible?

 

[KlyptoK]

No, it just made up nonsense because his request wasn't specific enough.
