Log File Format

[JohnDog3112]

Format outputted by KSL to animate Specifying \:

• Entity
  • Entity \<entity type (unique id)> \
• Anything else:
  • \

Time format:

• \ at tick \
  • \ just specifies the time in which the command starts

Variable:

• Change \ at \ \ to \ at tick \
  • For single variables, at \ \ could be ommitted

Queue/Stack:

• Push Entity \ \ onto \<Queue/Stack ID> at tick \
• Pop Entity \ \ off of \<Queue/Stack ID> at tick \
  • If someone can't leave the queue before their turn, the entity part could be omitted

Station:

• Change Image \ to \<image id?> at tick \
  • May need to define image files with ID's for this use
• Add resource \ to \ at tick \
  • Might be needed? However, I'm not sure if that'll be rendered or not

Transporter:

• Change Image \ to \ at tick \
• Add resource \ to \ at tick \
• Pickup Entity \ \ onto \ at tick \
• Dropoff Entity \ \ from \ at tick \
• Move \ to \<station/landmark ID> in \ ticks at tick \

Entity:

• Despawn Entity \ \ at tick \
• Move Entity \ \ to \<station/landmark ID> in \ ticks at tick \
  • Might need to be merged with "paths" where straight-line paths can't be used
• Change Image Entity \ \ to \ at tick \

Example: Transporter "forklift" moves between three stations "A", "B", and "C" with crate entities. Crates queue up in queue "A_Queue" before station A and then get moved by the forklift to station B where it moves to station C before disappearing.

Push Entity Crate 0 onto A_Queue at tick 0//Spawns crate in A_Queue
Push Entity Crate 1 onto A_Queue at tick 0
Push Entity Crate 2 onto A_Queue at tick 0
Push Entity Crate 3 onto A_Queue at tick 0
Push Entity Crate 4 onto A_Queue at tick 0
Pop Entity Crate 0 from A_Queue at tick 0
Move Entity Crate 0 to A at tick 0 //Removes from Queue and moves from Queue pos to station A
Move forklift to A in 5 ticks at tick 0 //take 5 ticks for forklift to reach station A

Pickup Entity Crate 0 onto forklift at tick 5//have forklift pickup Crate 0
Pop Entity Crate 1 from A_Queue at tick 5
Move Entity Crate 1 to A at tick 5
Move forklift to B in 10 ticks at tick 5

Dropoff Entity Crate 0 from forklift at tick 10
Move forklift to A in 10 ticks at tick 10
Move Entity Crate 0 to C in 5 ticks at tick 10

Despawn Entity Crate 0 at tick 15

//repeat
Pickup Entity Crate 1 onto forklift at tick 20
Pop Entity Crate 2 from A_Queue at tick 20
Move Entity Crate 2 to A at tick 20
Move forklift to B in 10 ticks at tick 20
