Need Python help for fantasy mod

[1diehard1]

I am making a mod where I intend to make units capable of summoning other units, presumably via a promotion. I don't have an in-depth enough knowledge of python to know how to do this. Also, I need to know how to make this summoned unit able to cross both land and water.

Take a glance at Fall From Heaven...

I tried. I can't for the life of me figure out how they summon units, or have one that goes over water + land. I scanned over their python files, but couldn't figure out anything substantive. All I got was how to do a timer on summoned units, using promotions.

 

[1diehard1]

could somebody at least tell me which python file contains the summoning information, and the amphibious information? I am really lost when it comes to this.

That information is in the DLL for Fall from heaven, not in python.

 

[1diehard1]

thank you so much. do you, or anyone else, know any way to dissect that dll?

 

[xienwolf]

Yes, hit up the Modders Guide thread stickied in the Fall from Heaven forums. DLL source code is available there.

Stickied thread in the Creation & Customization forum is a post on how to compile your own DLL
