Lua:Callins

Lua Callins

This page is future looking to unified widget/gadget (aka "addon") handler, which may yet be some way off, c.f. the changelog.

For now, to use these addons in a widget, replace addon with widget and, for a gadget, replace addon with gadget. For example,

    function widget:UnitCreated(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam, builderID)
        ...  
    end

Some functions may differ between (synced) gadget and widgets; those are in the #Synced_-_Unsynced_Shared section. Essentially the reason is that all information should be available to synced (game logic controlling) gadgets, but restricted to unsynced gadget/widget (e.g. information about an enemy unit only detected via radar and not yet in LOS). In such cases the full (synced) param list is documented.
