ProjectType (Civ5 Type)

This page is a part of the Lua and UI Reference (Civ5).

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

XML: the Projects table

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

ID		Type
0		PROJECT_MANHATTAN_PROJECT
1		PROJECT_APOLLO_PROGRAM
2		PROJECT_SS_COCKPIT
3		PROJECT_SS_STASIS_CHAMBER
4		PROJECT_SS_ENGINE
5		PROJECT_SS_BOOSTER
6		PROJECT_UTOPIA_PROJECT

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.Projects.PROJECT_MANHATTAN_PROJECT.ID
local id = GameInfo["Projects"].["PROJECT_MANHATTAN_PROJECT"].ID
local id = GameInfo.Projects{Type="PROJECT_MANHATTAN_PROJECT"}().ID

Alternatively you could use the ID or the type to retrieve the value of the Cost column. Those examples will return and assign the value 750.

local cost = GameInfo.Projects[0].Cost
local cost = GameInfo["Projects"][0]["Cost"]
local cost = GameInfo.Projects{ID=0}().Cost
