....asking for a promotion requiring a resource

[Monaldinio]

Is it possible to provide a promotion to a newly built unit as long as a certain Resi is available local or in the tradenetwork???

I think it would require some SDK work and an additional XML tag in BonusInfos, <FreePromotion>, which tells the game which promotion to grant.

If you meant something like this:
If I have banana, and I build axeman, axeman gets free city raider I
Python = Yes

Yes, it would require some SDK work and an additional XML tag...
But i think not in the BonusInfo...it would be better in the PromotionInfo!
And not <Free Promotion>...

...but rather...

<PrereqBonuses>
<BonusType>BONUS_ANTIMATTER</BonusType>
</PrereqBonuses>

And you need changes in the UnitSchema...

"All" you have to do is def. this xml tag <PrereqBonuses>...with/in SDK...
But it is SDK, that means it is hard to realizable for me, and i dont want to change the DLL code so much because of stability.

Can you solve my problem?!?

If you want it based on trade network ( means even if you don't have it, but you import it from other players)

	def onUnitBuilt(self, argsList):
		'Unit Completed'
		city = argsList[0]
		unit = argsList[1]
		player = PyPlayer(city.getOwner())

## Castra Praetoria Start ##
		pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(city.getOwner())
		if pPlayer.getNumTradeableBonuses(gc.getInfoTypeForString("BONUS_IRON")) > 0:
			unit.setHasPromotion(gc.getInfoTypeForString("PROMOTION_ACCURACY")), true)
## Castra Praetoria End ##

Up to you to adjust the variables.
You can even set it such that promotion is given only when the player has more than X iron resources for instance

And if it not should be based on trading network, but the Resi might be locally available (only)??

There are some alternatives to use:
countOwnedBonuses (BonusType eBonus)
getNumAvailableBonuses (BonusType eBonus)
hasBonus (BonusType eBonus)

I didn't bother to try them since I don't need them.
getNumAvailableBonuses will give you the number of oil for instance in your terriority even if they are not improved.

Okey, thanks a lot Platyping!
I'll try all and see what happens!

...ok...done it with SDK...it is more elegant?!?!!?
But again, thanks a lot for your help!!!!

This tag exists in FFH too I believe via the SDK.
