Mission Editor – General

Editor sub-module for editing the name and description of a mission inside the Mission Editor. Validates translation keys and renders translation-status icons.

Overview

This is a class-based module (C) instantiated per Mission Editor session. It manages ImGui text inputs for the mission's name and description, flags the mission as dirty on edit, and checks whether translations exist via translateLanguage.

Class Methods

Key Behaviors

• Translation check – green icon if translateLanguage returns something different from the raw key; red otherwise.
• Description as table – if mission.description is a table, the module shows a read-only dump instead of a text input.
• Dirty flag – self.mission._dirty = true whenever any field is edited.

Usage Example

-- Internally created by the mission editor framework:
local generalTab = require('extensions/editor/missionEditor/general')(missionEditorRef)
generalTab:setMission(currentMission)
generalTab:draw()

-- Querying issues:
local issues = generalTab:getMissionIssues(currentMission)
-- issues → { {label="Name has no translation!", severity="warning"}, ... }
