Can you create a new <CombatClass>

crashburn274 · Nov 19, 2014

I'd like create a new unit (an airship) with a different promotion tree than existing units. I believe that means defining a new <CombatClass> for the unit. I found the existing combat classes, but don't how to create a new one, and haven't been able to find a template for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This is what I have so far (flyer coded elsewhere, it's presently copy-paseted from Smoky Skies):

You can create a new combat class using XML code like this:

Code:

	<UnitCombatInfos>
		<Row>
			<Type>UNITCOMBAT_MYCLASS</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_UNITCOMBAT_MYCLASS</Description>
		</Row>
	</UnitCombatInfos>

(Of course this should be within the <GameData> tags.)

But the last time I tried to do it, the combat animations of units belonging to the new combat class weren't played. There is a small chance that this was changed in the latest expansions and patches, so you can test it yourself.

Edit: My research suggests that you might be able to get the new combat class working if you name it UNITCOMBAT_NAVAL. It doesn't have to be really naval units, just use this name. I haven't checked if it works, but there is a good chance it does. (I assume you use BNW.)
