  • unit_type.advances_tolist of strings

A list of unit type IDs that this unit can advance to.

  • unit_type.advances_fromlist of strings

A list of unit type IDs that can advance to this unit.

  • unit_type.variationsvariation list

Returns a list of unit type userdata representing possible variations of this unit, including gender variations. You can look up specific variations by their ID. Male and female variations have the ID male or female.

  • unit_type.__cfgconfig

Returns the full unit type definition as raw WML. This can be used if you need something that's not directly supported.

Weapon

This represents a single attack on a unit or unit type; it can also exist as an orphaned attack not attached to either a unit or unit type. It has the following attributes:
