"Teaching" Chat GPT the CMO Lua Library

Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2023 1:56 pm
by Kasey99
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT (Free version) this morning by giving it code snippets, lists of functions, wrappers, tables, etc. to "Teach" it the CMO lingo. Using the Command Lua Docs, I essentially copied and pasted loads of information, section by section, into ChatGPT. I'm happy to say it finally produced a working script. Granted, I am at the very beginning stages of Lua and mainly rely on using existing code to build and edit scenarios by changing existing information within scripts. If someone with extensive experience were to work with ChatGPT by teaching the CMO language, I can't imagine what a cheat you could be.

"Write a script to obtain side units for IRAN and include the type, class, name, and dbid."
Resulting script:

Code: Select all

local side = "IRAN"
local base = {}
local s = VP_GetSide({ name = side })
for _, v in ipairs(s.units) do
    local unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({ guid = v.guid })
    if unit.type ~= "Group" and not base[unit.dbid] then
        base[unit.dbid] = true
        print(string.format("{type= '%s', class= '%s', name= '%s', dbid= %d}", unit.type, unit.classname, unit.name, unit.dbid))
    end
end
First attempt in Lua Console:

ChatGPT says
In this optimized version, I've done the following:
  • Declared scenarioScriptFilePath as local.
    Made all functions local.
    Simplified the ConvertStringToBoolean and DebugModeIsOn functions using a direct comparison.
    Simplified the IsBetaVersion function by directly returning the boolean value.
    Simplified the RandomPosition function by avoiding redundant calculations.
    Simplified the OverWater function using a single return statement.
    Simplified the GenerateRadioMessageBody function by eliminating the unnecessary if condition.
    Simplified the Round function by using the math.floor function.
    Made other minor code adjustments for readability and maintainability.

Do you have link or script you can show us that you show to chat GPT to have this result. I'm also trying to scrip with chat GPT help. Work like a charm in ARMA but in CMO we both have a to learn.
