Dependency between mod settings

[jarcionek]

I have two numbers in my mod settings, one should be greater than the other - is it possible to set its minimum value to the value of the other one?

Alternatively, this is a runtime-per-player setting so I could check it in on_configuration_changed action and set it to a different value, however all the data I can see is read only. Is it possible to change player's mod setting with a script?

No to both of your questions. The best you can do is use a different value internally. Maybe print a warning message when you do so and/or explain in the setting tooltip.

Edit: My initial answer was wrong, in 0.17 it is possible to change mod settings (see below). Changing the limit is still impossible, as it is set at the data stage.

Thanks. I was already thinking that I can print a message to the player, but the idea of using different value internally is great. I will have to do some code refactoring, because currently I have calls to player.mod_settings all over the place

Actually, I was wrong. Apparently 0.17 added a way for mods to change their settings:

Code: Select all

settings.get_player_settings(player_index)[setting_name] = { value = new_value }

Nice! Thanks a lot!

I heard they were going to add this, but didn't see anything about it in the changelogs

does anyone know what version this was done in?

0.17.0, it's in the scripting section of the changelog.

thanks
seems a bit of an odd way to do it though. why not do this?

Code: Select all

settings.get_player_settings(player_index)[setting_name].value = new_value

That was my first idea, too. I could not make it work that way. So I posted the version that does work.
Probably just a stupid mistake in my test code
