Python Help - Get tech flavors

[ww2commander]

Wondering if someone could help me with getting the tech flavor for a specific tech. I am new to python so if someone could provide the code necessary then it would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to get a tech and then fogure out what the flavor type is. I want to then pass this flavor value against a case statement to do something.

The part I am stumped at is actually getting the flavor type for the tech. The function getFlavorValue(intI) expects a value rather than returning one so I am confused. How do I tell it to to return the value of a flavor assigned to a tech?

Ok...heres what I tried to do but it does not work. When I load the mod, it goes straight to a blank tech screen and the interface disappears...obviously a hint that the game does not like my changes

I am trying to set the colour of the tech box depending on the flavor type. The changes I have made in the CvTechChooser.py file are in red.

for i in range(gc.getNumTechInfos()):
        # Create and place a tech in its proper location
        iX = 30 + ( (gc.getTechInfo(i).getGridX() - 1) * ( ( BOX_INCREMENT_X_SPACING + BOX_INCREMENT_WIDTH ) * PIXEL_INCREMENT ) )
        iY = ( gc.getTechInfo(i).getGridY() - 1 ) * ( BOX_INCREMENT_Y_SPACING * PIXEL_INCREMENT ) + 5
        szTechRecord = "TechRecord" + str(i)
 
        if ( iMaxX < iX + self.getXStart() ):
                iMaxX = iX + self.getXStart()
        if ( iMaxY < iY + ( BOX_INCREMENT_HEIGHT * PIXEL_INCREMENT ) ):
                iMaxY = iY + ( BOX_INCREMENT_HEIGHT * PIXEL_INCREMENT )
 
        screen.attachPanelAt( "TechList", szTechRecord, u"", u"", True, False, PanelStyles.PANEL_STYLE_TECH, iX - 6, iY - 6, self.getXStart() + 6, 12 + ( BOX_INCREMENT_HEIGHT * PIXEL_INCREMENT ), WidgetTypes.WIDGET_TECH_TREE, i, -1 )
        screen.setActivation( szTechRecord, ActivationTypes.ACTIVATE_MIMICPARENTFOCUS)
        screen.hide( szTechRecord )

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Its not easy learning python

You can try that (not tested):

                # assign default value in case there is no specific flavor
                iRed = 89
                iGreen = 133
                iBlue = 39

                bestValue = -1
                if gc.getTechInfo(i).getFlavorValue(gc.getInfoTypeForString("FLAVOR_MILITARY")) > bestValue :
                        bestValue = gc.getTechInfo(i).getFlavorValue(gc.getInfoTypeForString("FLAVOR_MILITARY"))
                        iRed = 89
                        iGreen = 133
                        iBlue = 39

                etc ...

If you want to begin to learn python , go to the tutorial to see how to enable the debugger and check the API fro the functions you use . It's important to see what are your bugs .

Tcho !

Thanks for the help Sto. Your code worked, but then I realised that what I was after was getAdvisorType. Your code guided me thru getting this right.

I have a good idea of how to do this now

By the way, I have the API site bookmarked already and thats what I reference normally. I just have problems with the syntex and what the functions actually do...but with time I will get better
