Making a unit ignore borders

[Daenvil]

Edit: I solved it, it was a silly mistake in the code.

I am new to modding and I'm stuck in this. It should be easy, I just want my unique unit (which replaces the settler) to be able to enter any territory, just like missionaries do. I tried to copy the code in the game files and after several tries I have this:

Nice! any idea if this could work with any unit type / ai type?

EDIT: kind of a stupid question turns out. It looks like using the type tags, we can give any unit class this ability.

But I do have a question for you. Could your code simply be this? (under UnitAbilityModifiers, just set the modifier ID to "MOD_ENTER_FOREIGN_LANDS", and let the base code handle the rest from there?)

Sorry to resuscitate an old thread but I've been trying to do a similar thing and encountered issues as it "half" works. I can enter ennemy territory, but next turn if I move inside ennemy territory I have the "Do you want to declare war?" dialog popping.
