VoteSourceType (Civ5 Type)

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

The VoteSourceType 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 VoteSourceType corresponds to the ID column of the VoteSources XML table.

XML: the VoteSources table

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

ID		Type
0		DIPLOVOTE_UN
1		DIPLOVOTE_POPE

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.VoteSources.DIPLOVOTE_UN.ID
local id = GameInfo["VoteSources"].["DIPLOVOTE_UN"].ID
local id = GameInfo.VoteSources{Type="DIPLOVOTE_UN"}().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_BUILDING_UNITED_NATIONS.

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