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


Lua: the BeliefTypes enumeration

Firaxis provides a Lua enumeration named BeliefTypes. 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 Beliefs 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_BELIEF" -1

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 = BeliefTypes.NO_BELIEF
local id = BeliefTypes["NO_BELIEF"]

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.Beliefs.BELIEF_GODDESS_HUNT.ID
local id = GameInfo["Beliefs"].["BELIEF_GODDESS_HUNT"].ID
local id = GameInfo.Beliefs{Type="BELIEF_GODDESS_HUNT"}().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_BELIEF_GODDESS_HUNT.

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