Getting the Current Production Progress of Units/Buildings in Lua

I want to get lua to show the current Production Progress of a Unit (and Building, but didn't try this latter) but I always get a Nil value from this code:

Code: 
function OnUnitProductionHash(PlayerID, CityID, iProdcutionItemType, unitReference)
    local pPlayer = Players[PlayerID];
    local pCity =  pPlayer:GetCities():FindID(CityID)
    if pCity ~= nil then
        for row in GameInfo.Units() do
            local UnitHash = row.Hash
            local UnitTypeInfo = GameInfo.Units[row.UnitType];
            local UnitToBuild = row.Index
            local UnitName = Locale.Lookup(UnitTypeInfo.Name);
            print("Check 1", UnitName, UnitToBuild, UnitHash);
            if (UnitTypeInfo ~= nil) then
                local pBuildQueue: table = pCity:GetBuildQueue()
                local nProductionProgress : number = pBuildQueue:GetUnitProgress( UnitToBuild );
                print("Check 2", UnitName, UnitToBuild, UnitHash, nProductionProgress);
            end
        end
    end
end

The Nil value error comes from the line: "nProductionProgress : number = pBuildQueue:GetUnitProgress( UnitToBuild );"
(The Code is a little bit messy cause it's just for testing purposes)
I've tryed many things (changed the function's code, the HookEvents...) but I always get the Nil value.
Any Ideas how to get this to work?

Thanks in advance!

you've already set UnitToBuild to be the current unit's row index here
Code: 
local UnitToBuild = row.Index

Forgot to fix that. But I get the Nil value Error anyway (I double checked it to be sure).
 
would be easier to help with the log.

Here is what I get from the lua Log:
Code: 
SRE_CityPanel: Check 1    Settler    0    -798712536    table: 00000000FB394C90

Line 111 is "nProductionProgress : number = pBuildQueue:GetUnitProgress( UnitToBuild );"
 
GetUnitProgress is not valid in a gameplay script so the first question would be whether you are running it in a User Interface context or in a GameplayScript ?

The error messages you are getting in the log are the usual kind a Gameplay Script spits when you attempt an invalid method -- usually a User Interface will either lock the panel or lock up the entire game when the panel is used if there is a nil function error.
 
how's SRE_CityPanel.lua loaded ?

edit: as LeeS is pointing, the context is important. from your file name I would have thought this was an UI file, but from the error it seems to be loaded in script context.
 
Yes, I'm running it in a GameplayScript. So it would only work correctly if made in a UI context?!

I was working on a Mod that would make Units require multiple resources in order to be produced. I managed to get that work. The City would only produce a unit if there is enough amount of a resource, if not it will remove the unit from the Productionqueue, and it won't show up till there is enough resources for it. But this would repeat for units that the city already started producing and (of some reason, such as deciding building something else) stopped at some point (the code would repeat if the city reterns to build a halfway finished unit). And I wanted to fix that. That's why I want to get the productionprogress for Units.
I would prefer Ai also getting affected by that. (That's not possible in a UI context)
I can post the code of it if you want.

Edit: would "HasProductionProgress" work in this case? And how can I get The current Number of a Specific Unit Type that a Player has? "pPlayer:GetUnits():GetCount();" shows only the Total amount of the Player's Units.

Third argument is whether to count directly based upon the supplied Unit Index # or by equivalent types of units.
  1. By using boolean true for the third argument it will act like a "Unit-Class" method in the sense the replacement unit-types will be considered, as will the 'default' unit-type for a unique replacement so long as the unique replacement is listed in the "UnitReplaces" table.
  2. If the original unit is unique but not listed in the "UnitReplaces" table then nothing except the original unit will be counted.
  3. If more than one unit-type replaces the same "primary" unit-type, then all of these will also be counted if the player owns any.

Also, see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...D_xTTld4sFEyMxrDoPwX2NUFc/edit#gid=1205978888
So far as we know HasProductionProgress is valid in both GameplayScript and UI Context but what the needed arguments are (if any) is unclear.

Wow! Thanks a lot LeeS!! You really helped me a lot with this.
I'm working on a "Deals with Units" Mod, and this is really helpful in getting that Mod to work.

I've tried it but I get this Error:

end

I've changed the "kBuildParameters" argumen with: UnitTypeInfo, UnitTypeHash, UnitType... and also with .Index prefix (UnitType.Index). But same Error.
 
you may want to check the game's code for example of key/value used with the kBuildParameters table passed to that function.
 
Thanks Gedemon for the Answer!

Ok, I will try the Exposed members method. Didn't know that we can pass UI fonctions to GamePlayScript. Good to know!

No I haven't tryed "ProductionType.Units", but "iProductionItemType". I will give it a try.
 
iProductionItemType is a variable that you have to assign a value to in your code.

ProductionType is a table created by the game that contain constants used to ID something (in that case the Units, Buildings, Districts and Projects production types)

and it's "ProductionType.UNIT" the case is important here.
 
I've tryed "ProductionType.UNIT" but I get the same Error.

Now I'm trying the ExposedMember Method, but I'm not sure about this:
GameplayScript:
Code: 
ExposedMembers.SRE = {};

function GetUnitProgress(playerID, CityID)
   return ExposedMembers.SRE.GetUnitProgress(playerID, CityID); ===> (I get a: function expected instead of nil value here)
end

function OnUnitBuildableCheck( PlayerID, cityID, iProdcutionItemType)
    code...
end

Events.CitySelectionChanged.Add( GetUnitProgress );
Events.CitySelectionChanged.Add( OnUnitBuildableCheck );
Events.PlayerResourceChanged.Add( OnUnitBuildableCheck );

UIScript:
Code: 
function GetUnitProgress(playerID, CityID)
    local pPlayer = Players[playerID]
    local pCity =  pPlayer:GetCities():FindID(CityID)
    if pCity ~= nil then
        if ( iProdcutionItemType  == 0 ) then
            return pCity:GetBuildQueue():GetUnitProgress()
        end
    end
end
ExposedMembers.SRE.GetUnitProgress = GetUnitProgress;

I've never used this Method befor, so I don't have any clue how I should do it correctly.
 
just had a look, ProductionType is defined in Civ6Common.lua, and the arguments for HasProductionProgress are strings
Code: 
ProductionType = {
    BUILDING    = "BUILDING",
    DISTRICT    = "DISTRICT",
    PROJECT        = "PROJECT",
    UNIT        = "UNIT"
}

which will be useless in your case as you want to test an unit type if I understand correctly...

for your code, you need to pass the unit type index when calling the function, and you may want to check if the UI file is loaded before Events.CitySelectionChanged is called the first time.
 
Ah! So that's why it doesn't work.

Yes, I want to use it for a UnitType.
For the UI file, for my understanding, I just have to make it trigerred by another Event that loads befor Events.CitySelectionChanged, for Example: Events.PlayerTurnActivated. Is that right?
 
I haven't made any Event for the UI file, so I'm not sure how I should check if it loads before Events.CitySelectionChanged.
 
the "print" function is your (only) friend for Lua debugging, sometime there is a "print" every 2 lines in some parts of my code, help understand in which order things are called.
