Quick question: TeamID in animation scripts

[PTSnoop]

I'm trying to write a Lua unit animation script such that a building is destroyed if the player who owns it runs out of energy. So far I've got

Code: Select all

local function expire()
--	teamID = ???
	while true do
		if Spring.GetTeamResources(teamID, "energy") < 10 then
			Spring.DestroyUnit(unitID)
		end
		Sleep(1750)
	end
end

How do I get the teamID of the unit running the script?

Also: is there a separate GetPlayerResources? I couldn't find one on the wiki. Or will GetTeamResources work fine here, even if the player's allied to someone with plenty of energy?

Spring.GetUnitTeam
( number unitID ) -> nil | number teamID

It's working now. Thanks!

Generally speaking wrt the lua API, 'team' means 'player team' and 'ally team' means the team of allied player teams.
