The ExtractEmmyLuaAPI utility command, invoked with `--emmy-lua-api`, produces a documentation file that is used by the [OpenRA Lua Language Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=openra.vscode-openra-lua) to provide documentation and type information is VSCode and VSCode compatible editors when editing the Lua scripts.
We improve the documentation and types produced by this utility in a few ways:
- Require descriptions to be provided for all items.
- Fix the type definitions of the base engine types (cpos, wpos, wangle, wdist, wvec, cvec) to match with the actual bindings on the C# side. Add some extra bindings for these types to increase their utility.
- Introduce ScriptEmmyTypeOverrideAttribute to allow the C# side of the bindings to provide a more specific type. The utility command now requires this to be used to avoid accidentally exporting poor type information.
- Fix a handful of scripts where the new type information revealed warnings.
The ability to ScriptEmmyTypeOverrideAttribute allows parameters and return types to provide a more specific type compared to the previous, weak, type definition. For example LuaValue mapped to `any`, LuaTable mapped to `table`, and LuaFunction mapped to `function`. These types are all non-specific. `any` can be anything, `table` is a table without known types for its keys or values, `function` is a function with an unknown signature.
Now, we can provide specific types. , e.g. instead of `table`, ReinforcementsGlobal.ReinforceWithTransport is able to specify `{ [1]: actor, [2]: actor[] }` - a table with keys 1 and 2, whose values are an actor, and a table of actors respectively. The callback functions in MapGlobal now have signatures, e.g. instead of `function` we have `fun(a: actor):boolean`. In UtilsGlobal, we also make use of generic types. These work in a similar fashion to generics in C#. These methods operate on collections, we can introduce a generic parameter named `T` for the type of the items in those collections. Now the return type and callback parameters can also use that generic type. This means the return type or callback functions operate on the same type as whatever type is in the collection you pass in. e.g. Utils.Do accepts a collection typed as `T[]` with a callback function invoked on each item typed as `fun(item: T)`. If you pass in actors, the callback operates on an actor. If you pass in strings, the callback operates on a string, etc.
Overall, these changes should result in an improved user experience for those editing OpenRA Lua scripts in a compatible IDE.
This allows the LINQ spelling to be used, but benefits from the performance improvement of the specific methods for these classes that provide the same result.
This rule no longer appears to be buggy, so enforce it. Some of the automated fixes are adjusted in order to improve the result. #pragma directives have no option to control indentation, so remove them where possible.
Enforces a variety of CAxxxx rules that do not have existing violations.
For the benefit of dotnet_code_quality.CA2241.try_determine_additional_string_formatting_methods_automatically = true, rename parameters of methods that forward to string.Format so format issues will get detected automatically.
- Improve consistency
- Remove dead code
- Removed AsyncAction!
- Delegate.BeginInvoke is unsupported since .NET Core and throws an "Operation is not supported on this platform." exception.
This helps improve the safety of code the uses reflection when methods may get renamed, and helps navigating code as the nameof will show up when searching for references to members.
- When a path search is being performed the path search will not attempt route to inaccessible cells, so domain index checks to avoid inaccessible cells in the search predicate are redundant and can be removed.
- DomainIndex is a required world trait, so we don't need to use TraitOrDefault and therefore can avoid dealing with the null case.
