City ID

[Thalassicus]

How can I get the object of a city from only its ID?

 

[Gedemon]

without knowing the player you mean ?

else:
city = player:GetCityByID()

 

[Thalassicus]

Yes, the player ID is not provided by SerialEventCityCreated...


Edit: Nevermind, I remembered it's possible to get the city from the plot coordinates.

function NewCity(coordinates)
	local plot		= Map.GetPlot( coordinates.x, coordinates.y )
	local city		= plot:GetPlotCity()
	local player	  = city:GetOwner()
	local playerID	= player:GetID()

	-- stuff done here
end

LuaEvents.SerialEventCityCreated.Add( NewCity );

from the code in this civ5 util SerialEventCityCreated provides a few variables

function citycreated ( hex, civ, cityid, culture, continent, pop, size, fow)

	local hx, hy  = ToGridFromHex( hex.x, hex.y );
	local player = Players[ civ ];
	local city = player:GetCityByID(cityid);
	-- size best guess was graphic related
	--culture, continent, pop, fow never figured exactly what
end
Events.SerialEventCityCreated.Add ( citycreated );

shameless plug to the script i wrote, there's a lot of examples of events. no idea if they all still work with current patches (as in maybe this one got changed) but i've noticed a few threads about functions that i clearly recognized using, so there's a place to look for additional insight

Is city IDs one list for all players? or All player has own cites list that start with e.g: 1 ID?

 

[smellymummy]

each player and they usually don't start with id = 1

i don't think there is a direct variable available (array, list or table) to loop through, it has to be called via the api
