Overwatch

A scriptable notification engine for the Recoil Engine.

Overwatch-v2.webm

Features

• Run's as spec or any custom widget enabled lobby
• Rules for game events, resources, and unit builds
• Does console, uilog (panel), sound, ping, command (/say a:) and marquee messages
• Should work with any game/mod that runs with the Recoil Engine but that's untested.

State

The widget has been tested a lot, still needs more testing before beeing published on Discord Widgets. For development news see the Github issues.

TL;DR

Overwatch combines Blueprints (lua logic) with Configs and routes the results to Channels.

Examples:

• Blueprints: https://github.com/00fast00/overwatch-widget/blob/main/lua/builtin_blueprints/units.lua
• Config: https://github.com/00fast00/overwatch-widget/blob/main/configs/OverwatchConfig.20builtin.lua

Installation & Setup

1. Copy dist/overwatch.lua into your LuaUI/Widgets/ directory
2. In Skirmish mode / a widget enabled lobby / spectator mode you can enable the widget in Settings -> Custom.

Usage

• Press Alt+p to toggle the log and settings panel
• Configure rules and notifications in the settings panel

Configuration

Configuration files are stored in LuaUI/Config/:

• OverwatchConfig.lua - Config auto-generated if not present
• OverwatchBlueprints*.lua - Custom blueprints

Creating Custom Blueprints

You can create custom blueprints by adding them to LuaUI/Config/OverwatchBlueprints*.lua.
See the example files in blueprints or lua/builtin_blueprints/ for details.

We have an extra doc/developer/readme.md for developers.
