Passing a NULL CyUnit to CyPlot.getBestDefender()

[LyTning94]

I have a python function which calls CyPlot.getBestDefender() and it's giving me a python exception. First I tried to call it like this:

pDefender = gc.getPlayer(pDestPlot.getBestDefender(NO_PLAYER, pSelectionGroup.getOwner(), NULL, True).getOwner())

but the exception said that NO_PLAYER and NULL were not defined. So I tried changing them to -1 and 0 and now it's giving me another exception saying that I'm trying to pass an integer (0) when it should be a CyUnit object (as the third argument).

How do I pass a NULL CyUnit to this function???

The value that you're trying to pass NULL for is the attacking unit. Without this information, the function wont work.

In the SDK it allows for that value to be NULL...is this not the case in Python???

OK. Looks like you need to use PlayerTypes.NO_PLAYER. Not sure about the NULL. Try replacing it with a -1 and see if that works.

I already tried replacing it with 0 but it gave me an exception saying that I'm trying to pass an integer where I should be passing a CyUnit object. I'm not sure what else I should do. I suppose I could just throw a unit in there for the heck of it, since it doesn't really matter in this scenario...
