depends.lua is a small utility API, which resolves API dependency chains.

Installation

Copy the depends.lua file in the LuaScriptsLib folder.

How to use

It is very easy to use this API. Add the following line below all your loaded APIs:

API.load("depends").check({particles, paralX, textblox}, "my_level_api_dump.txt")

So it should look like this:

local particles = API.load("particles")
local paralX = API.load("paralX")
local textblox = API.load("textblox")

API.load("depends").check({particles, paralX, textblox}, "my_level_api_dump.txt")

This will check all APIs for dependent APIs and so on...
The result will then by written into a file. In this case in "my_level_api_dump.txt". The written file is located in the root folder of the game (Where smbx.exe is located!)

If everything went well, a message box should pop up with "Dumped!".

Note: Please be aware, that you should remove API.load("depends") before you bulid or release your Episode/Level. You don't want your players to dump the api dependencies, it is just for yourself with debugging!

The content of the written dump-file should something like this:

particles
  rng
  eventu
  colliders
    expandedDefines
    vectr
paralX
  graphX2
    mathematX
      vectr
