Lua help with floating text above cities

TheLunarArmy · Jul 10, 2014

Hi guys,

I'm busy working on my first civ mod and got the Lua mechanics working perfectly, but now I want to get a little fancy and add some floating text pop-up whenever I found a new city.

Spoiler What the hell is he talking about? :

The plan is whenever a Non-

city is founded it gets +2

and +15

. It would be great if I get some text to go with it, but the for the life of me I cannot find the appropriate Lua references to do this.

Below I posted my working Lua code for the actual mechanics (free feel to try it out/use it) but now I just want to add my little fancy message that says something along the lines: "Universal Health Care: +2

, +15

."

Thanks!

Code:

GameEvents.PlayerCityFounded.Add(
function (iPlayer, iCityX, iCityY)
	local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer];
	local pPlot = Map.GetPlot(iCityX, iCityY);
	local pCity = pPlot:GetPlotCity();
	local cPop = pCity:GetPopulation();
	local cFood = pCity:GetFood();

	if (pPlayer:IsAlive()) then
		if (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == GameInfoTypes.CIVILIZATION_CANADA) then
			if ( pPlayer:GetNumCities() > 1 and not pCity:IsOriginalCapital() ) then
				pCity:SetPopulation(cPop + 2, true);
				pCity:SetFood(cFood + 15);
				-- TODO: Fancy little floating text message 
			end
		end
	end
end)
