global function getText()

[Skallagrim]

Here and there I find the global function getText(), but I could not find it defind in the lua files. Is it a java function?

example:

farming_vegetableconf.props[getText("Farming_Carrots")].waterLvlMax = 65;

What does this function do?

Seems at first like a function that could, for example, depending on a choosen language return a text in a different language, is this right?

If yes, then there seem to be default strings for names of textures, too?

 

If this is true, is it possible to access/modify this list?

Which file and line does this appear? Can't seem to spot it.

Hellow,

 

It's a java function (global one) to call the translator.

 

You can see in the translation files in lua/Translate/ or on this forum.

 

As for textures, erm, I'm sorry but I don't really see what you mean

Thanks very much, thats good to know.

I confused a .16 lua folder with a .17 lua folder and got totally supprised by the "getText()". I use a modified farming script based on .16 and could not remember to have ever encounterd this function.

In my confusion I miss read this code

IsoObject.new(plant.gridSquare, "tileThuztorFarming1_smashed", getText("Farming_Destroyed") .. " " .. plant.typeOfSeed);

and mixed up the name of the tile with the texture name of the tile, which made me even more confused.

But I think I have sorted it out now, thanks again.
