Population Trait Lua Help

[Carloso]

I need help with a trait for a civilization. It goes like this,

Receive +1 Population in every city when you advance to the next era.

Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Untested (especially in that as this is a "SerialEvent" it may only work for human players and not the AI), but it'll be something like

local iMySpecialCiv = GameInfoTypes.CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND

Events.SerialEventEraChanged.Add(function(iEra, iPlayer)
  local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
  
  if (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == iMySpecialCiv) then
    for pCity in pPlayer:Cities() do
      pCity:ChangePopulation(1, true)
    end
  end
end)

I did some testing on the SerialEventEraChanged awhile back and it works for AI players. It did seem to be tied to when the art style of a player's cities changed, so if a player got a tech and advanced to the next age in the middle of a turn (say via Great Scientist slingshot) than the SerialEvent wouldn't fire until the start of that player's next turn.

I have an algorithm that detects era changes using the tech finished event, so it does not have the above limitation. However, I didn't implement it after I realized that the SerialEvent was almost as good and required less work.

Hang on, what would that be if the civilization is lets say Uruguay under the leadership of Rivera?

Just change the ["CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND"] to ["CIVILIZATION_URUGUAY"] or something.

Just change the ["CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND"] to ["CIVILIZATION_URUGUAY"] or something.

Theres also the iMySpecialCiv Whoward added in but I'm unsure whether its iuruguay, iUruguay or uruguay.

Mesa new to lua.

 

[whoward69]

In your mod that adds the new civ, you added a CIVILIZATION_XYZ entry, just do as Viregel says and change CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND to whatever you added as CIVILIZATION_XYZ there is no need to change anything else. You will obviously need to actually add the code into your mod and activate it - see the File attributes link in my sig for how to activate it

Thanks Whoward, it worked!

It seems your right Machiavelli. It only changes when the art-style does.
