[API script] Get last use tool with waytype ID

[Yona-TYT]

I made a small patch to get the last used or default way tool, however for some reason it is failing with waytype = 6, (I'm not sure if I caused it).

Usage:

Code Select Expand

way_desc_x.get_last_used_way(wt_nr)
0001-ADD-get_last_used_way.patch

In in r11881, slightly modified.

slightly do you say?, you changed almost everything hahaha.  ,I'm very happy with the result, you did a good refactoring there.  



"get_default_desc" I don't think that's a good name, since this is specific to waytipes, perhaps something like "get_default_way_desc".

Code Select Expand

/**


 * Returns the last used (default) way descriptor for a given waytype.


 * This is the way that would be selected when pressing the shortcut key (e.g. 's' for roads).


 * @param wt waytype (1=road_wt, 2=track_wt, 3=tram_wt, etc.)


 * @returns way_desc_x object or null if none available


 */


 STATIC register_method(vm, &tool_build_way_t::get_default_desc, "get_default_desc", false, true);You need to move this to line 673, as the function is currently not accessible with "way_desc_x.get_default_desc".

Ups, yes, done in r11883

There is one small detail: when the tool is called from the keyboard shortcut, it is not marked as selected in the menu icons.

Edit.
It happens the first time, when a road has not yet been built; it seems that in cases where the road is determined with timeline, the menu is not being instructed to select the tool icon.
