How to check in LUA in what direction a river flows?

[Nercury]

I fished out the list for you (and for me): http://wiki.2kgames.com/civ5/index.php/Lua_Reference#Lua_Game_Objects

Code was:

	local plot = Map.GetPlot(0, 0)
	print("Class Plot:")
	print("Attributes:");
	for k, v in pairs(getmetatable(plot).__index) do print(k, v) end
	print("END.");

Great! That is super useful, you should get a prize
This should be placed somewhere on civ5 wiki until Firaxis will release official SDK-LUA interface.

So, the functions in question are:
GetRiverEFlowDirection()
GetRiverSEFlowDirection()
GetRiverSWFlowDirection()

Good to know, in meantime I modified my script and it works without those functions (I modified AddRivers() function to put rivers in place twice - on both parts of map, original and mirrored).

I already posted it here on civfanatics: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=9730553#post9730553

Really thanks for that piece of code Nercury, it will help us a lot!

We're trying to discover the methods on the Plot object. The SDK is probably using a metatable, and I'll have to read up at home on how to access the metatable again. If you get it, you can try the above on the metatable.

Edit: Read the second page. Read the second page. Then post.

There is also ModBuddy/Help/Civ5LuaAPI.html

I found about it after I learned to get data from metatable

Seriously? That's great, but why didn't they post that HTML file on the wiki?

 

[Nercury]

Well, it is not really finished. I moved a bit of it to wiki now. Staff seams to react all right so far

I found this helpful: In FireTuner if goto the input box and hit tab and then a letter it will show available functions for that letter.

Civ4 had a RiverID property on the Plot. I don't see get or set methods for this in Civ5. Has anyone else found a way to identify which river a plot is adjacent to?
