Editing unit traits?

[K3fka]

Been searching through the XML files, and I see Units referencing Trait definitions, but I can't find the actual code behind how these traits work. Is this something we're able to view and edit right now, or am I out of luck until we get some more tools down the road? Thanks.

Go to UnitAbilites.xml

Thanks for that, but maybe you can help out with this as well. Let's say I want to make a unit ignore terrain costs for a certain type of terrain. Looking at the Hills ignoring ability, for example, gives me:

        <Row>
            <ModifierId>ALTITUDE_TRAINING_IGNORE_HILLS</ModifierId>
            <ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_UNIT_ADJUST_IGNORE_TERRAIN_COST</ModifierType>
        </Row>

Digging into Modifiers.xml:

        <Row>
            <ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_UNIT_ADJUST_IGNORE_TERRAIN_COST</ModifierType>
            <CollectionType>COLLECTION_OWNER</CollectionType>
            <EffectType>EFFECT_ADJUST_UNIT_IGNORE_TERRAIN_COST</EffectType>
        </Row>

And tracing that to GameEffects.xml:

<Row Type="EFFECT_ADJUST_UNIT_IGNORE_TERRAIN_COST" Kind="KIND_EFFECT"/>

So that's where I hit a dead end. I don't see anywhere where it specifies that it's only for hills. I understand this is probably getting into some of the deeper parts of the game logic, but if you have any info, it would be appreciated.

search the exact term ALTITUDE_TRAINING_IGNORE_HILLS in the folder. but yes, things are not as simple any more.

Thank you again for that info.
