## Detailed Description

Class that handles all game settings related functions.

Note:
  AIGameSettings::IsValid and AIGameSettings::GetValue are functions that rely on the settings as OpenTTD stores them in savegame and openttd.cfg. No guarantees can be given on the long term validity, consistency and stability of the names, values and value ranges. Using these settings can be dangerous and could cause issues in future versions. To make sure that a setting still exists in the current version you have to run AIGameSettings::IsValid before accessing it.

  The names of the setting for AIGameSettings::IsValid and AIGameSettings::GetValue are the same ones as those that are shown by the list_settings command in the in-game console. Settings that are string based are NOT supported and AIGAmeSettings::IsValid will return false for them. These settings will not be supported either because they have no relevance for the AI (default client names, server IPs, etc.).

## Member Function Documentation

bool AIGameSettings::IsValid | ( | const char * | setting | ) | `[static]`

Is the given game setting a valid setting for this instance of OpenTTD?

Parameters:

  | setting | The setting to check for existence.

Warning:
  Results of this function are not governed by the API. This means that a setting that previously existed can be gone or has changed it's name.

Note:
  Results achieved in the past offer no gurantee for the future.

Returns:
  True if and only if the setting is valid.

int32 AIGameSettings::GetValue | ( | const char * | setting | ) | `[static]`

Gets the value of the game setting.

Parameters:

  | setting | The setting to get the value of.

Precondition:
  IsValid(setting).

Warning:
  Results of this function are not governed by the API. This means that the value of settings may be out of the expected range. It also means that a setting that previously existed can be gone or has changed it's name/characteristics.

Note:
  Results achieved in the past offer no gurantee for the future.

Returns:
  The value for the setting.

bool AIGameSettings::IsDisabledVehicleType | ( | AIVehicle::VehicleType | vehicle_type | ) | `[static]`

Checks whether the given vehicle-type is disabled for AIs.

Parameters:

  | vehicle_type | The vehicle-type to check.

Returns:
  True if the vehicle-type is disabled.
