ID.png The ActionType pseudo-type is actually a regular integer. Pseudo-types do not exist in Lua, they only serve a documentation purpose on the wiki!
  • DB.png Integers labeled as ActionType corresponds to the ID column of the Commands XML table.


XML: the Commands table

Here are the ID and Type columns found in this table.

ID Type
0 COMMAND_PROMOTION
1 COMMAND_UPGRADE
2 COMMAND_AUTOMATE
3 COMMAND_WAKE
4 COMMAND_CANCEL
5 COMMAND_CANCEL_ALL
6 COMMAND_STOP_AUTOMATION
7 COMMAND_DELETE
8 COMMAND_GIFT
9 COMMAND_HOTKEY


Examples

Here are different ways to query the database to retrieve the ID from the type. Those examples will return and assign the integer value 0. See also GameInfo.

local id = GameInfo.Commands.COMMAND_PROMOTION.ID
local id = GameInfo["Commands"].["COMMAND_PROMOTION"].ID
local id = GameInfo.Commands{Type="COMMAND_PROMOTION"}().ID

Alternatively you could use the ID or the type to retrieve the value of the Description column. Those examples will return and assign the value TXT_KEY_COMMAND_PROMOTION.

local description = GameInfo.Commands[0].Description
local description = GameInfo["Commands"][0]["Description"]
local description = GameInfo.Commands{ID=0}().Description
