Proto Units

This section is a work in progress

TODO:

• Add an example for each function.
• Add more details if relevant (e.g. constants for movement types).

Proto units are the "items" that can be seen in the command panel or the scenario editor's object catalog.

Getting the Proto Unit ID

The proto unit ID is required in order to obtain any information about a proto unit. It's an integer number that is stored in a constant prefixed with cUnitType (e.g. cUnitTypeMusketeer).

To find the proto unit ID of a proto unit, proceed as follows:

• place the unit in the scenario editor.
• select the unit.
• press Alt+Q to open the debugger.
• at the top right, click on Misc.
• click on Display Selected KBUnit (Dynamic).
• a small blue window will appear with the proto unit name. Prefix this name with cUnitType to get the proto unit ID.

Proto unit name

In this example, the proto unit name is Musketeer, so the proto unit ID is cUnitTypeMusketeer.
