Speed ups

Command based application

When using commands such as Create, Upgrade, Demo, DemoSite and StartResearch you can add an additional parameter "/speedup" to allow the bot to use a speedup for the task. The /speedup command requires a speedup be specified. The speed up types are listed below.

In addition to this parameter you can also use /nowait. This parameter tells the bot not to wait on the line to finish the execution of the command before continuing to the next line.

Examples of using the /speedup and /nowait parameters.

• upgrade /speedup=coins barrack  // Instantly upgrades a barrack using coins.
  upgrade cottage /speedup="Beginner Guidelines"  // quotes are needed when using names with spaces.
  upgrade cottage /speedup=consume.2.a    // same as above, but using the item ID instead of its name.
  upgrade /speedup="Ultimate Guidelines,coins" barrack    // upgrade barrack by first applying Ultimate Guidelines and then finish using coins.
  demo forge /nowait /speedup="Primary Guidelines,Beginner Guidelines" // nowait is added to this one so it will not wait on this line to complete the demo. 

Alternate application

Examples of using the buildingspeedup and researchspeedup functions.

• // use Senior Guidelines, if it is needed.
  r = city.getActiveResearch()
  if r && TimeDiff(r.endTime)/1000 >= 8*3600 researchspeedup Senior Guidelines
  
  // use coins to speed up research.
  r = city.getActiveResearch()
  if r researchspeedup coins
  
  // use Senior Guidelines, if it is needed.
  active = city.getActiveBuilding()
  if active && TimeDiff(active.endTime)/1000 >= 8*3600 buildingspeedup Senior Guidelines
  
  // use coins to speed up construction.
  active = city.getActiveBuilding()
  if active buildingspeedup coins
  
  // apply "Beginner Guidelines" speed up to the building at position 20, if it is under construction and has at least 10 minutes left until finish.
  pos = 20
  b = city.getBuildingByPosId(pos)
  if b && b.status != 0 && TimeDiff(b.endTime)/1000 >= 10*60 execute "buildingspeedup @{pos} Beginner Guidelines"
