What's wrong with this code?

[Thalassicus]

The first test message displays, the second message (and lines following it) do not run:

for iXLoop in range(iPlotX - 2, iPlotX + 2):
    for iYLoop in range(iPlotY - 2, iPlotY + 2):
        CyInterface().addMessage(CyGame().getActivePlayer(), True, 10, "Testing Plot 1", None, 2, None, ColorTypes(8), 0, 0, False, False)
        pPlot = gc.getMap().getPlot(iXLoop, iYLoop)
        CyInterface().addMessage(CyGame().getActivePlayer(), True, 10, "Testing Plot 2", None, 2, None, ColorTypes(8), 0, 0, False, False)

Any idea what's wrong?

Well, firstly I've a feeling that the loop isn't what you want. The range function doesn't include the upper value, so range(0,5) would return 0,1,2,3,4. It'd have to be +3 instead.

Apart form that I can't see anything wrong. What does the log say?

 

[Thalassicus]

The range function doesn't include the upper value

Ah, a few other problems I was having make sense now. Strange that it does it that way...

What does the log say?

It just shows "Testing Plot 1". No error messages or other text display, and the lines following this don't run.

Gonne have to turn debug on and see what it reports.

1) That's the same as cheat mode? I have that enabled.

2) How would I do that?

You'll probably want to edit that post so that it doesn't have your email in, or you might get quite some spam.

I think the important lines are:

HidePythonExceptions = 0
ShowPythonDebugMsgs = 1
LoggingEnabled = 1
MessageLog = 1

 

[Thalassicus]

Well, here's the error:

AttributeError: 'CyMap' object has no attribute 'getPlot'

Any idea what would cause this? Unless the API is in error...

API error most likely...

Checking GBM's slightly more reliable API shows that it is. Function should be just:

CyMap().plot(x,y)

This function is also listed in the other API.

BTW, GBM's API is here: http://sthurlow.com/cvDocs/cvDoc/CyMap.htm I prefer the interface of the other one, but if it fails you this one is more likely to give results.

 

[Thalassicus]

Thanks for the link! That was the problem

Thanks, I cleaned it up.

One more question: how do you create a unit? I tried the initUnit function listed in both API's:

CyUnit* initUnit(UnitTypes iIndex, plotX, plotY, UnitAITypes iIndex)

It returns an arguement mismatch with this code:

pCapturedUnit = playerX.initUnit(pLoser.getUnitType(), pWinner.getX(), pWinner.getY(), -1)

ArguementError: Python argument types in
CyPlayer.initUnit(CyPlayer, int, int, int, int)
did not match C++ signature:
initUnit(class CyPlayer {lvalue}, int, int, int, enum UnitAITypes)

Could this be caused by a change to that function in a recent patch? I searched in several of the main python files for an occurance of initUnit() to check for usage, without locating it.

newUnit = playerX.player.initUnit(pLoser.getUnitType(), pWinner.getX(), pWinner.getY(), UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI)

 

[Thalassicus]

UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI)

That was the problem, thanks. Didn't realize an integer wouldn't work there.

A third question

In this code block, coastalPlots is a previously-defined list of CyPlot objects; I then remove plots from the list when visible to any player.

for pPlot in coastalPlots[:]:
    debugMessage = "A " + str(coastalPlots.count(pPlot))
    if coastalPlots.count(pPlot) == 0: CyInterface().addMessage(CyGame().getActivePlayer(), True, 10, tempMessage, None, 2, None, ColorTypes(7), 0, 0, False, False)
    for n in range(gc.getMAX_PLAYERS()):
        if (n != gc.getBARBARIAN_PLAYER()):
            if (pPlot.isVisible(gc.getPlayer(n).getTeam(), False) == True):
                debugMessage = "B " + str(coastalPlots.count(pPlot))
                if coastalPlots.count(pPlot) == 0: CyInterface().addMessage(CyGame().getActivePlayer(), True, 10, tempMessage, None, 2, None, ColorTypes(7), 0, 0, False, False)
                coastalPlots.remove(pPlot)

The problem is, somehow, the pPlot element doesn't always exist at the removal stage, with an accompanying "element does not exist in list" error. The debug message "A 0" never displays, but "B 0" sometimes does. How is this possible? Could the isVisible function be at fault?
