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


ID.png The PolicyBranchType 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 PolicyBranchType corresponds to the ID column of the PolicyBranchTypes XML table.
  • Lua.png The standard (unmodded) values in the ID and Type columns are also stored in the PolicyBranchTypes Lua enumeration.


Lua: the PolicyBranchTypes enumeration

Firaxis provides a Lua enumeration named PolicyBranchTypes. This is just a regular global table. Its keys are the constants' names and the pairs the corresponding values.

  • This specific enumeration contains data from the PolicyBranchTypes data table.
  • They are stored as key/value pairs: the keys are the strings from the Type column and the values are the integers from the ID column.

Radioactive.png Be careful: this enumeration do not reflect the changes, additions and deletions made by mods. As a result it is advised to rely on GameInfo instead.


Below are the values found in this enumeration.

Key Value
"NO_POLICY_BRANCH_TYPE" -1


XML: the PolicyBranchTypes table

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

ID Type
0 POLICY_BRANCH_TRADITION
1 POLICY_BRANCH_LIBERTY
2 POLICY_BRANCH_HONOR
3 POLICY_BRANCH_PIETY
4 POLICY_BRANCH_PATRONAGE
5 POLICY_BRANCH_COMMERCE
6 POLICY_BRANCH_RATIONALISM
7 POLICY_BRANCH_FREEDOM
8 POLICY_BRANCH_ORDER
9 POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY


Examples

Here is how to use the LUA enumeration to retrieve the ID from the type. Those examples will return and assign the integer value -1.

local id = PolicyBranchTypes.NO_POLICY_BRANCH_TYPE
local id = PolicyBranchTypes["NO_POLICY_BRANCH_TYPE"]

PolicyBranchType Player:GetDominantPolicyBranchForTitle()
