CIV4UnitInfos question

[Belizan]

But, when I say, that we found out, that the UnitInfos Class has no getUnitType( ) method were back on topic

with my code I want to display the units on a panel, like in the civliopedia. And with a drop down box (containing all unit descriptions) I can change this unitgraphic.
But I didn't find a sample code for this in the CvPediaUnit.py. The CvMainInterface.py ( there is a unit graphic in the left bottom corner of the city screen) uses

screen.addUnitGraphicGFC( "InterfaceUnitModel", CyInterface().getHeadSelectedUnit().getUnitType() ... )

but I want to get a unit from a self defined variable (so by description or id )

So I tried a bit on my own and have now this problem, that I only can use the getUnitClassType() from gc.getUnitInfo( ) .. but maybe I need a CyUnit instance .. only this class has the needed getUnitType( ) method

Oh, sorry, my bad. For a unitInfo it's just getType().

Oh, sorry, my bad. For a unitInfo it's just getType().

hm, well .. This would result for the unit lion in "UNIT_LION"
but the CyGInterfaceScreen.addUnitGraphicGFC(string szName, int iUnit, int iX, int iY, ... ) requires an int value for the Unit-Class ( probably the Unit ID , which you get with CvUnitInfo.getUnitClassType( ) , I guess )
I think, unit id refers to the units postion in the xml file. But for this, the graphic shifts (as I already mentioned) from the unit number 7 (fast worker) , so that the unit # 7 has the graphic of unit # 6 ,
the unit # 8 the graphic of unit # 7 .. and so on

Use gc.getInfoTypeFor(from?)String(name, myUnit.getType()...)

 

[Vadus]

Use gc.getInfoTypeFor(from?)String(name, myUnit.getType()...)

SWEET !!

ok, for all, who want to display a unitgraphic from it's description :

self.screen.addUnitGraphicGFC( "InterfaceUnitModel", 
                       gc.getInfoTypeForString(
                           gc.getUnitInfo([b]unitList.index(unitDescription)[/b])
                       .getType() 
 ... )

the unitList contains the units descriptions

 

[Belizan]

Use gc.getInfoTypeFor(from?)String(name, myUnit.getType()...)

What he said.. sorry.. I'm doing too many things at once .

hi !

hey, is it possible to get the UnitClassType over the GlobalContext only with the Unit-Description ?
like gc.getUnitTypeByDescription(string description)

I didn't find anything like that in the API , but maybe somebody already created such a function?

you can have the library of each 'objet' doing 'print dir(objet)':

        print dir(CvUnitInfo)

you will have more than you want !

then use :

        gc.getUnitInfo(i).getUnitClassType()

it return an integer attribuate to the specified UnitClassType .

but you can't inspect(import the source text) the object because it's handle in C, so you have to do with the values you get with the function you use .

So ,to determinate wich UnitClassType is associate with the integer the only thing if found is :

        lUnitClassID = []
	for i in range(gc.getNumUnitInfos()):
	        if UnitInfo(i).getUnitClassType() == UnitInfo(test).getUnitClassType():
	                lUnitClassID.append(i)
	print lUnitClassID

with test is the ID of an unit you know the UnitClassType

Tcho!

Hey you have hijacked my thread!

really sorry! i must have misunderstood something !

@Sto,

But its ok. I got my answers.

Actually I have a question.

Can UnitClassDefenseMods be negative? like -25% ??

Thanks
