Another Noob Python Question

[Flintlock1415]

Okay, I've got rid of that guy, but I now have a different error. It seems getType is not usable after pUnit
Here is my current code:

def unitCannotMoveInto(self,argsList):
		ePlayer = argsList[0]
		iUnitId = argsList[1]
		iPlotX = argsList[2]
		iPlotY = argsList[3]
        
        
        ## Locomotive Route Restriction
		pUnit = gc.getPlayer(ePlayer).getUnit(iUnitId)
		iTrainType = gc.getInfoTypeForString ( "UNIT_TRAIN" )
		if pUnit.getType() == iTrainType:
			pPlot = CyMap().plot(iPlotX, iPlotY)
			iRoute = gc.getInfoTypeForString ( "ROUTE_RAILROAD" )
			CyInterface().addImmediateMessage("Testing plot with route %d against %d" % (pPlot.getRouteType(), iRoute), "")
			if pPlot.getRouteType() != iRoute:
				return True
        
        ## End Edit
		CyInterface().addImmediateMessage("Allowing move", "")
		return False

And the Error:

Spoiler :

File "CvGameInterface", line 66, in unitCannotMoveInto

File "CvGameUtils", line 67, in unitCannotMoveInto

AttributeError: 'CyUnit' object has no attribute 'getType'
ERR: Python function unitCannotMoveInto failed, module CvGameInterface

The proper syntax is getUnitType(). Here's a link with more information if you're interested.

Awesome, it worked perfectly! Thanks General Tso! And a big thanks to The J and EmporerFool for helping me as well.

Here is the code, if anyone wants it.

def unitCannotMoveInto(self,argsList):
		ePlayer = argsList[0]
		iUnitId = argsList[1]
		iPlotX = argsList[2]
		iPlotY = argsList[3]
        
        
        ## Locomotive Route Restriction
		pUnit = gc.getPlayer(ePlayer).getUnit(iUnitId)
		iTrainType = gc.getInfoTypeForString ( "UNIT_TRAIN" )
		if pUnit.getUnitType() == iTrainType:
			pPlot = CyMap().plot(iPlotX, iPlotY)
			iRoute = gc.getInfoTypeForString ( "ROUTE_RAILROAD" )
			if pPlot.getRouteType() != iRoute:
				return True
        
        ## End Edit
		return False

Glad you got it working.

It's a communication with c++, and it cares about case-sensitivy (python itself doesn't care).

Python cares as well. Most programming languages (all but one that I've used) are case sensitive.

Ah, good to know, so i will not run in more errors.

And i thought, python is a real flexible language .

And i thought, python is a real flexible language .

But that makes Python more flexible. You can have two variables called x and X for maximum confusion!

It's actually a simple runtime-cost decision. Having to convert a name to lowercase every time the interpreter looks it up in a dictionary would slow it down considerably given that nearly everything that happens in Python is a dictionary lookup.

And i thought, a class, a function and a variable called x would be enough confusing .

Sounds logical .
