Help giving Special Abilities to a Unique Building....

[The Capo]

I am adding Israel as a civ in a mod I am working on, everything is working fine I just wanted to add a couple extra features to the Mossad so it has everything the Intelligence Agency has plus its own features, currently I can't get these two things to show up for the Mossad Building;

- +2 Experiance to Spies
- 50% Production Cost for Protective leaders (Ben-Gurion has this trait and was the founder of the Mossad, so I think its appropriate)

Here is the XML from the BuildingInfos for it:

If you want a production bonus for a certain trait, you need to add an entry into the ProductionTraits section. Here is an example from Walls:

			<ProductionTraits>
				<ProductionTrait>
					<ProductionTraitType>TRAIT_PROTECTIVE</ProductionTraitType>
					<iProductionTrait>100</iProductionTrait>
				</ProductionTrait>
			</ProductionTraits>

In the unmodified game, spies have no use for experience; if you have a mod that adds that you may want to check that mod's docs. For examples of the normal methods of adding experience look at the Barracks (shows usage of DomainFreeExperiences to give exp to all land units) or Citadel (show usage of UnitCombatFreeExperiences to give exp to all siege units)

Yeah, in my mod uses the SuperSpies mod which can give spies experience, so in my mod they get experience. But thanks a lot for your help, because I would be lost without it. I'll post if it worked.

Thanks again.

I got it to work, thank you so much.
