Hey!
How do I modify a flag on a unit WITHOUT using a proto mods file? Not because I don’t know.
I didn’t find a trigger. Maybe with a tech? But with a quick look, I didn’t find an effect that could allow me to modify a flag.
I’m not sure how to do that, but I think I have a clue: in the techtreey.xml look for “ProtoUnitFlag”, for example:
<tech name="DEChasquiHCDropoff" type="Normal">
<dbid>6676</dbid>
<researchpoints>0.0000</researchpoints>
<status>UNOBTAINABLE</status>
<flag>Shadow</flag>
<effects>
<effect type="CommandAdd" command="SetUnitAsHomeCityGatherPointEconomic" page="0" column="10">
<target type="ProtoUnit">deChasqui</target>
</effect>
<effect type="Data" amount="1.00" subtype="SetUnitType" unittype="HCGatherPointPri3" relativity="Assign">
<target type="ProtoUnit">deChasqui</target>
</effect>
<effect type="Data" amount="1.00" subtype="ProtoUnitFlag" flagid="206" relativity="Assign">
<target type="ProtoUnit">deChasqui</target>
</effect>
</effects>
</tech>
<tech name="deUnknownNoWallsEcoRegen" type="Normal">
<dbid>10191</dbid>
<status>UNOBTAINABLE</status>
<flag>Shadow</flag>
<effects>
<effect type="Data" amount="0.00" subtype="Enable" relativity="Absolute">
<target type="ProtoUnit">AbstractWall</target>
</effect>
<effect type="Data" amount="0.25" subtype="UnitRegenRate" relativity="Assign">
<target type="ProtoUnit">ColonyBuilding</target>
</effect>
<effect type="Data" amount="0.00" subtype="ProtoUnitFlag" flagid="233" relativity="Assign">
<target type="ProtoUnit">ColonyBuilding</target>
</effect>
</effects>
</tech>
(The first example is to add a flag and the second is to remove a flag)
If I am understanding correctly, the problem is that in order to add or remove a flag, a list of each flagid would be needed, in order to know which flagid number corresponds to each flag, but I don’t know where to get that.

This is a great clue. Too bad we don’t know the flagid’s, hhaa
Thanks!
Edit: this may be it

This one is the same, but for some reason it triggers a risk warning

Because you are a mod maybe?
I wanted to create a new post instead of editing the former post
I added a new tech succesfully. I tested adding like 5000 HP to a unit and it worked.
The thing is that I also set to 1 the id in Legacy that corresponds to NotDeletable and the unit was deletable. Fine, it may have changed for DE. I set to 0 the id that corresponded to NotShowOnMinimap in DE, according to the people from aoebbs and it didn’t work, too.
I’m out of luck, it seems.
