InterfaceMode (Civ5 Type)
This page is a part of the Lua and UI Reference (Civ5).
|
The InterfaceMode pseudo-type is actually a regular integer. Pseudo-types do not exist in Lua, they only serve a documentation purpose on the wiki!

The standard (unmodded) values in the ID and Type columns are also stored in the InterfaceModeTypes Lua enumeration.
Lua: the InterfaceModeTypes enumeration
Firaxis provides a Lua enumeration named InterfaceModeTypes. 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 InterfaceModes 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.
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.

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 0.
local id = InterfaceModeTypes.INTERFACEMODE_DEBUG
local id = InterfaceModeTypes["INTERFACEMODE_DEBUG"]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.InterfaceModes.INTERFACEMODE_GIFT_TILE_IMPROVEMENT.ID
local id = GameInfo["InterfaceModes"].["INTERFACEMODE_GIFT_TILE_IMPROVEMENT"].ID
local id = GameInfo.InterfaceModes{Type="INTERFACEMODE_GIFT_TILE_IMPROVEMENT"}().IDAlternatively 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_INTERFACEMODE_GIFT_TILE_IMPROVEMENT.
local description = GameInfo.InterfaceModes[0].Description
local description = GameInfo["InterfaceModes"][0]["Description"]
local description = GameInfo.InterfaceModes{ID=0}().Description
