mutually exclusive techs

[dewell]

Hi there,

how can I make 2 techs mutually exclusive? The player can't explore tech1 if he explores tech2 and the other way round ... is this possible in FFH2?

Not via XML, but easy enough to do in CvGameUtils.py.

mh got no experience with python, will try it later ... perhaps you can give me a hint how to implement it?

Something like this, in CvGameUtils.py, def cannotResearch.

ePlayer = argsList[0]
eTech = argsList[1]
pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(ePlayer)
eTeam = gc.getTeam(pPlayer.getTeam())

if eTech == gc.getInfoTypeForString('TECH_X'):
    if eTeam.isHasTech(gc.getInfoTypeForString('TECH_Y'):
        return True

The initial four lines should be taken care of for you, important part is the last three; Says that if you have Tech_Y, you cannot research Tech_X.

Heh, wasn't much time. Only took around 30seconds to write out that bit of python.
