anyone used pushMission() before?

[naf4ever]

If so please post an example of how its used. Im trying to figure it out but its blowing me away... Here is what i found for its python reference:

VOID pushMission(MissionType eMission, INT iData1, INT iData2, INT iFlags,
BOOL bAppend, BOOL bManual, MissionAIType eMissionAI, CyPlot pMissionAIPlot,
CyUnit pMissionAIUnit)
void (eMission, iData1, iData2, iFlags, bAppend, bManual, eMissionAI, 
pMissionAIPlot, pMissionAIUnit)

BTW, im assuming this is the command to give a unit an action, like telling it to move or fortify, etc...

Im not quite sure what half of those inputs it wants are. An example would help big time. All im trying to do is tell a unit to skip its turn and chill. Thanks. -naf

I think this is for aircraft (like bomb, assault and such)... They are actually named missions... (If this is wrong, I'm sorry lol just trying to be helpful...)

These are all the mission types ive found:

-1 = NO_MISSION
  0 = MISSION_MOVE_TO
  1 = MISSION_ROUTE_TO
  2 = MISSION_MOVE_TO_UNIT
  3 = MISSION_SKIP
  4 = MISSION_SLEEP
  5 = MISSION_FORTIFY
  6 = MISSION_AIRPATROL
  7 = MISSION_HEAL
  8 = MISSION_SENTRY
  9 = MISSION_AIRLIFT
 10 = MISSION_NUKE
 11 = MISSION_RECON
 12 = MISSION_AIRBOMB
 13 = MISSION_BOMBARD
 14 = MISSION_PILLAGE
 15 = MISSION_SABOTAGE
 16 = MISSION_DESTROY
 17 = MISSION_STEAL_PLANS
 18 = MISSION_FOUND
 19 = MISSION_SPREAD
 20 = MISSION_JOIN
 21 = MISSION_CONSTRUCT
 22 = MISSION_DISCOVER
 23 = MISSION_HURRY
 24 = MISSION_TRADE
 25 = MISSION_GREAT_WORK
 26 = MISSION_GOLDEN_AGE
 27 = MISSION_BUILD
 28 = MISSION_BEGIN_COMBAT
 29 = MISSION_END_COMBAT
 30 = MISSION_AIRSTRIKE
 31 = MISSION_SURRENDER
 32 = MISSION_CAPTURED
 32 = MISSION_IDLE
 33 = MISSION_DIE
 34 = MISSION_DAMAGE
 35 = MISSION_MULTI_SELECT
 36 = MISSION_MULTI_DESELECT
 37 = NUM_MISSION_TYPES

I want to be able to force some of these on a unit but so far havent found a function to do that with except the one i posted which is very hard to comprehend.

Aha, there's a "DIE" mission?

Here is an example. I used that in my Reinit-Interceptor Mod.

	def doReInit(self):
		iPlayer = PyPlayer(CyGame().getActivePlayer())
		unitList = iPlayer.getUnitList()
		# Loop for all players units
		for ii in range(len(unitList)):
			pLoopUnit = unitList[ii]
			# get the group the unit belongs to. 
			pGroup = pLoopUnit.getGroup()
			# check if unit is doing air patrol
			if (pGroup.getActivityType() == ActivityTypes.ACTIVITY_INTERCEPT):
				# remove mission (this one shold be obsolete, but who knows ;)
				pGroup.popMission()
				pPlot = pGroup.plot()
				# add new mission -> fortify
				pGroup.pushMission(MissionTypes.MISSION_FORTIFY, 0, 0, 0, false, false, MissionAITypes.NO_MISSIONAI, pPlot, pLoopUnit)
				# add new mission -> air patrol
				pGroup.pushMission(MissionTypes.MISSION_AIRPATROL, 0, 0, 0, false, false, MissionAITypes.NO_MISSIONAI, pPlot, pLoopUnit)

Sweet thanks,, that helps greatly, I'll try it out..

EDIT: Works like a charm!

If you can figure out how to use it please tell me. Tried using it, nothing. Tried canStartMission() and it says false. (Yes I know there are other ways to kill a unit. Looks like I'll have to use one.)

Did you set bool bTestVisible = True? ( in canStartMission( int iMission, int iData1, int iData2, CyPlot* pPlot, bool bTestVisible) ). I don't know what this flag means exactly but some times it works. My guess is it has someting do with simuleneous turn mode multiplay.

Out of my experience, the "TestVisible" variables just check, f the realted mission/action button is displayed in the main interface when selecting the unit. It does NOT mean, that the action is possible or not, because the function canStartMission returns also true, if the button is displayed but disabled.

Maybe the DIE mission only works if the unit has no health points. It may be used to trigger the die animation after a lost combat. In this case it has nothing to do with the abandon unit command you can select in the interface.

Just a guess!
