How to make a unit that has a bigger bonus movement speed on railroad??

[margustoo]

I would want to make a New Civ that has UU called Armored Train. While there are pre made units that do what I would like them to do.. they all need ether DLL or the Community Patch to run them properly. Is there an option where I don't need DLL or Community Patch but this UU still moves far more faster on Railroad than it does on terrain without Railroad.. (f.e normally it has 1 movement speed while on Railroad it has 5 or even 10 movement speed). Also it would be good if such an unit wouldn't be able to attack when it is on a terrain that doesn't have Railroad..

Currently I am looking examples such as: UU of Tibet and Maurya (made by guy who is behind More civs), UU of Norway and Scotland (made by JDF) and UU of New California (made by RawSasquatch)

I'm thinking using 2 units would be easiest, one of them hidden and unbuildable, and just hook GameEvents.UnitSetXY, and swap them with Lua if the non-RR one is on a RR, or to the non-RR when the RR one isn't. When it's a Convert to the non-RR, so that it doesn't get extra moves, set the movement points to 0, or decrease by the appropriate percentage (or if you just want to e.g., always give 1 additional move, remember they're actually multiplied by 60 internally, e.g., 120 movement points are 2 moves).

Hopefully I manage to do that..
