possible to remove a button from an existing unit?

[naf4ever]

I want to remove the "recon" ability altogether from an air unit im making. I notice all air units do this by default, even bombers which seems odd. I was hoping there was an XML value i could just set to zero but im not seeing one. If there is one please let me know.

Or if you know which .py file i need to edit it would help me get pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

You can't do this via XML, you have to mod that. Go to toe file CyMainInterface.py and look for the line "actions = CyInterface().getActionsToShow()". In the following lines the buttons are added to the multi list container. Here you have a chance to filter the buttons you don't want to have.

Would it be enough to just remove the selection button for the human player? I don't think I've ever seen the AI using recon, though I don't get into many end-game wars.

If you want to do this check out lines 1300-1360 in a vanilla CvMainInterface.py - in the updateSelectionButtons function.

Specifically, you'll want to edit:

actions = CyInterface().getActionsToShow()
for i in actions:
	screen.appendMultiListButton( "BottomButtonContainer", gc.getActionInfo(i).getButton(), 0, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_ACTION, i, -1, False )
	screen.show( "BottomButtonContainer" )

So that if the action is the recon action the loop continues to the next action. Something like:

actions = CyInterface().getActionsToShow()
for i in actions:
	if i == WhateverTheCodeForReconIs:
		continue
	screen.appendMultiListButton( "BottomButtonContainer", gc.getActionInfo(i).getButton(), 0, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_ACTION, i, -1, False )
	screen.show( "BottomButtonContainer" )

You'll have to work out what value of i corresponds with the recon command by playing with a few print commands for units which can recon.

Sweet. Thanks guys. I'll mess around with both those options.

Sweet. Thanks guys. I'll mess around with both those options.

They're both the same option

No Option. TGA and me had the same idea . He explained it more in detail, while I was faster with posting.
