BTS Heroes (Wonder Units)

I've told ya how to do in xml (you have to spend production for the unit).

Without spending production, you'll need indeed python.
 
There is another xml possibility:

Make a second tech for an hero unit. Make that second tech require TECH_GERMANY AND other techs.

Then you can use firstfreeunitclass for that second tech - OR: Make the hero require that second tech.

It seems that in XML it's rather complicated and probably won't work the way I like. So that why I posted the request here and in the thread for modcomp-requests.
 
note to you: every enabled python callback slows your game. I'm always doing it in xml when I don't need python.

you probably don't need a callback for your work

tech acquired?
1A. no --> do nothing
1B. yes --> by Germany?

2A. no --> do nothing
2B. yes --> Physics?

3A. no --> do nothing
3B. yes --> give a Red Baron to Germany

this should work. you will get the unit in your capital city. I don't know how to check for your empire, else I could do it for you.


//edit: you need to add a Help tag to the technology which gives you the unit. else you won't see it on the tech tree when using python.

That's probably the culprit. Isn't there a way in Python to compare the civ of the current player (human or AI) with i.e. CIVILIZATION_GERMANY
Maybe some Python command:

if GetInfoTypeForString(current_civ) = CIVILIZATION_WHATEVER then do this etc. ?

:dunno:

Instead of pPID use pLoser.getOwner()



For the tech+civ:

PHP: 
	def onTechAcquired(self, argsList):
		'Tech Acquired'
		iTechType, iTeam, iPlayer, bAnnounce = argsList
###this part here		
		if iTechType == gc.getInfoTypeForString("TECH_WHATEVER"):
		    		TheCivForTheUnit = gc.getInfoTypeForString("CIVILIZATION_WHATEVER")
		    		pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer)
		    		myName = pPlayer.getCivilizationType ()
		    		if myName == TheCivForTheUnit:
		    		        pCity= pPlayer.getCapitalCity()
		    		        iX =pCity.getX()
		            		iY = pCity.getY()
		            		newUnit = pPlayer.initUnit(gc.getInfoTypeForString( 'UNIT_WHATEVER' ), iX, iY, UnitAITypes.UNITAI_GENERAL, DirectionTypes.NO_DIRECTION)


For the position, i just took the capital.

Thanks J :goodjob:
With this code it's possible to spawn a Hero for a civ that researches the appropriate tech for it!
Just one minor question: how can I spawn two units? Just copy the last command?

I am sorry :blush:, i have NO idea where to put the info you have, or what to put where?
 
Do a search for "onTechAcquired", you will find this:

Code: 
	def onTechAcquired(self, argsList):

		iTechType, iTeam, iPlayer, bAnnounce = argsList
		# Note that iPlayer may be NULL (-1) and not a refer to a player object

then a BUNCH your codes from alot of YOUR stuff.

@Strat:
I like the concept of giving a unit to the first civ that builds a certain building i.e. first civ that builds a colosseum receives Spartacus.
I'm quite sure the AI is totally oblivious of this. How do you intend to get the AIs actively going after building, in this case, the first colosseum?
Otherwise human players can easily exploit this :rolleyes:
