Using Hastechnology()
« on: March 03, 2006, 05:21:59 PM »
I've been trying to create some code that does something if a player has researched rare ore, and something else if the player hasn't. I can't get HasTechnology() to work for me. Could someone post and example of it working?

Edit: I figured it out, I was getting the tech from the .txt file, not the header. The numbers in the .txt have an extra 0 in the front.

When I was looking for the tech to use with that function, I didn't know there was a header with them defined. I was opening the tech file and looking in there. They are listed differently in the tech file.

You can still put the numbers, just be sure that you don't put any 0's before the tech ID.

That is, if the techfile says 00210 as a research ID, get rid of the leading zeros.

(In C++, any number prefixed with 0 is an octal (base 8) number. Tech IDs are decimal (base 10) however).
