Creep Role Contribution

Naming

1. First, add the role name to constants.roles, in the constants.ts file.
2. Next in main.ts add the role name to the CreepRoles type

Foundation

1. Go to creepClasses.ts and create a class for the role. Export it, and assign in the creepClasses object
2. Create a file for the role logic. Example: hauler.ts inside export a function for managing the role. It should look like this:

import { Hauler } from '../../creepClasses'

export function haulerManager(room: Room, creepsOfRole: string[]) {

     for (const creepName of creepsOfRole) {

          const creep: Hauler = Game.creeps[creepName]
     }
}

3. Finally, go to creepRoleManagers.ts, import the role manager, and create a role reference for it in the managers object

Role logic

Now onto actually adding functionality. Basic code like function calls should go inside the role manager, while more complex code and functions should be attached as prototypes to the role's class. Back in creepClasses.ts we can add prototypes and properties to the role:

export class Hauler extends Creep {

     property: string

     method?(): void

     constructor(creepID: Id<Creep>) {
          super(creepID)
     }
}
creepClasses.hauler = Hauler

Meanwhile, in the role's file - such as hauler.ts - we can attach the prototype:

Hauler.prototype.method = function () {
     
     this.say('It works')
}

And of course, reference it above in the manager

import { Hauler } from '../../creepClasses'

export function haulerManager(room: Room, creepsOfRole: string[]) {

     for (const creepName of creepsOfRole) {

          const creep: Hauler = Game.creeps[creepName]

          creep.method()
     }
}
