lua

Arright, after troubleshooting to close way more parentheses than I care to admit to, I've still got issues with this lua. The file itself is finally grammatically valid, but when the borders expand I don't get the bonus I'm looking for. I can make it give me Floating Gardens, but not the...

I'm planning to make Czech Hedgehogs into a tile improvement for Civ, but I'm at a loss for the code. I'm trying to give the improvement, once it's fully built, a way to damage enemy armored vehicles/tanks that pass over its tile. I also want it to provide a defense bonus to infantry-type units...

I want to make a UA that forces the player's unhappiness to 20 unless they capture a city every 30 turns. My problem is that I don't know how to check is pPlayer has captured a city, can you help? function Smash(PlayerID) print("UA") local pPlayer = Players[playerID] local Turn =...

Slaved for many hours writing up my lua file. It's a script intended to run when the save data / playable game state has loaded. I go to the Content tab of the mod properties, try to add the file, and I don't see it. It's just not there. I've already tried renaming it to a brief character...

Hello, I created an unit and now I want to change it's maintenance cost dynamically. For example, I want the unit's maintenance cost reduce if the unit is sleeping. I know LUA, but I am new to using it with CIV VI Thanks!

Hi I'm trying to use the timer module (https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/timer/performWithDelay.html) inside lua script. I have tried, but failed with error "function expected instead of nil" on the line, where I call "timer.performWithDelay(1000, listener)". Could the timer be restricted...

Can two mods have two different .xml files named the same thing? Or would there be a conflict? I know that .lua files result in conflicts.

Sorry, I'm really new when it comes to modding and I'm working on a Civilization that has a unique unit that I want to grant production equivalent to a percentage of the combat strength of a unit in each city for each unit it kills. I figured out you had to do something with the...

I'm trying to use Firaxis Live Tuner (FLT) to access and process game information and then highlight "interesting" plots. I'm stumped and need help. I've created an FLT panel (code below) in which I define "InGame" and "_TunerResourcePanel" as "CompatitableStates" and identify...

I would like to create a custom function and access it from a live tuner panel. I have created a Lua file and can load it by identifying it as a <LoadStates> item in the ltp file. It initializes variables that I use in the live tuner panel and seems to work as expected. However, when I add a...

I'm writing an LTP that identifies revealed resources and have encountered behavior that is very perplexing. The behavior occurs when parsing the code in a <PopulateList> element. Below is the code that results in the following message in the Lua Console: (Syntax Error: [string "return...

Hi everyone, I've recently finished my first LUA code and would be very grateful if someone could proofread it to identify errors and make suggestions. The first provides Great Writer points equal to the number of Landmarks in your territory and the happiness derived from discovered Natural...

I found some useful functions in worldbuilder lua files but it seems im not able to use them. Its kind of weird since I can run those commands in runtime through firetuner. Lua doesnt throw any error, it just doesnt execute them. Im using ImprovementBuilder also, and it works even outside debug...

I want to make Utils file for some utility functions, but I cant do that for some reason. I used require("..."), include("..") but nothing seems to work. I included that Utils.lua into LuaScripts, but console is still crying about not knowing the used function. Am I missing something? include...

I think that SaveGameMenu.lua, the script for the Save window, could be better. In particular I want the list on the right to start filtering (or I might make it bring the matches to the top) as you type part of the filename. Would I have to overwrite the entire SaveGameMenu.lua or is there a...

I have a new mod that provides a bonus percentage to production of certain buildings, which brings me to the following: I'd like my bonus percentage to be listed after (or before, I'm not fussy) the "+5% (+0.5) from Amenities" when the user hovers their mouse over the total production amount and...

I figure it doesn't make sense to hard code my text and I want to use Game.AddWorldViewText(0, sPopup, iX, iY, 0). However I don't know how to make that second parameter show the text in the appropriate language from the localized text. I searched for Localized in the existing Lua, without...

I'm getting down to i dotting and t crossing in my latest new civilization mod, and I've run up against a minor annoyance: LOC_LOADING_JOIN_THE_WORLD_STAGE is "joins the world stage", but my civilization name is plural, so I want "join the world stage". I don't know if this can be manipulated...

I have added event consumption to my game that creates a new unit. The problem is that I'd rather that the unit can't move until the next turn. One reason for this is because of inconsistency — If the unit is created as the last move of the turn the turn ends without the player getting to move...

I'm trying to write a Lua script that will place a certain dummy building only in cities on or near Tundra when they are built, with the ultimate goal of making a National Wonder that requires all cities to be built on or near Tundra. What I have right now is based on a couple of examples put...
