GSCompanyMode not working properly

[thegreatpl]

Either I am trying to use it wrong, or it is not working. Every time I try to use GSCompanyMode to build something (specifically, an airport and levelling the ground around where the airport will go) it fails with an ERR_PRECONDITION_FAILED. From what I can tell, the only precondition that is not valid is the GSCompanyMode.

I've attached the scripts I was using to try this.

I am completely aware I may just have screwed up my script. I have glanced at the SplitScenarioGS though, and can see pretty much the same thing there as what I was trying to do.

Code: Select all

	GSSign.BuildSign(100, "testing"); 
	GSCompanyMode(companyIdx); 
	GSLog.Info("Switched to mode for " + GSCompany.GetName(companyIdx));

You need to store the result from GSCompanyMode() in a variable. The company mode is in effect for as long as this variable is in scope. Basically when the instance is destroyed, the company mode exits. Since you don't store it in a local variable, it is destroyed immediately.

Solution:

Code: Select all

local cm = GSCompanyMode(companyIdx);
