Where art thou, Caravan?

[bane_]

Is there any *easy* way to get the count of passing caravans over a plot without using UnitSetXY?

I searched a bit and found you can do it for trade routes, but that would fire each turn while the route is passing through, and I need to check only when a Caravan does.

Ideas?

For Warhammer I'm planning to just use UnitSetXY, unless I end up doing it through DLL again.
There may be a way to do what you want without UnitSetXY, but if you want easy I'd go with the obvious hook.

Going with the obvious hook is a terrible decision, because mid-game there are thousands of calls from the hook. More modest computers will make each turn a drag.
I recommend you doing it through the DLL, that way you don't have the same problem I'm having.

...might as well modify Howard's DLL if I get permission.
