Kill city

[Mike4Life]

In a mod I'm working on, there's a function that has multiple actions in it, one of which is to destroy a city at a fixed coordinate. When I run the mod, all other code of the function works well except the code to destroy the city.
This is the code I have:

local plot = Map.GetPlot( 65, 43 );
local city = plot:GetPlotCity();
city:Kill();

What am I doing wrong?

Are you getting the right plot ?

 

[Mike4Life]

Yeah. I checked the plot of city that's to be razed in world builder. Plus I have a separate script that spawns a unit in the same spot and that one works correctly.

The city you are trying to destroy is neither a Capitol nor a City-State is it?

The city you are trying to destroy is neither a Capitol nor a City-State is it?

Nope. Just an ordinary city.

Was looking into something similar, maybe it is the capital K in kill

The function is without capital: void CvCity::kill()

 

[whoward69]

it's Kill() from lua, see CvLuaCity.cpp

 

[whoward69]

pCity:Kill() almost certainly doesn't do what you think it does - it is called as part of the capture of a city and deletes defending units, breaks trade routes, puts out the fires from the attacks, etc

Try pPlayer: Disband(pCity) instead

Uh, right... too much time looking into cpp files

 

[rf900]

Yeah... thx whoward, was doing a similar thing at the DLL level, disband function works correctly to remove the city, kill does not. I have nearly all I need to release my Capital and Outposts mod for Civ V
