Return value#

Type Meaning
UniverseID Types describe the declared interface, not proof of a successful game effect.

Types and methods

Declaration and parameters#

C
UniverseID SpawnStationAtPos(const char* macroname, UniverseID sectorid, UIPosRot offset, const char* constructionplanid, const char* ownerid);
C parameter
const char* macroname
UniverseID sectorid
UIPosRot offset
const char* constructionplanid
const char* ownerid

A pointer return is cdata, not a Lua string. A C bool maps to Lua boolean, scalar C numbers normally map to number, and 64-bit integers and structs can remain cdata. void has no direct return; output buffers may still be modified. Buffer size, lifetime, ownership and the correct UI context must be established before calling.

Example and context#

See language basics, types and methods and Lua / MD events. Examples there are independent learning examples. No project source files or private implementation fragments are distributed with this reference.
