Op2extra

From OPU Wiki

This library contains a new unit class, that allows the programmer to do more sophisticated AI actions, then with the standard Unit class.

To use the extra functionality download the Op2extra_10.zip (http://www.wiki.outpost-universe.net/images/f/f2/Op2extra_10.zip) libraries and headers.

[edit]

Using the op2extra library

Op2extra declares a new class called IUnit (for Internal Unit class). Include the header in your source file when you want to use the new units functions: 

#include "IUnit.h"

From there on, you can just substitue any occurence of Unit with IUnit. All standard member functions will still work, and you can use the new IUnit as a param for other procedures, such as TethysGame::CreateUnit(...), your code, nor Outpost2 can tell the difference.

  • do NOT include commands.h - IUnit.h already includes it;
  • make sure IUnit.h can find the Outpost2dll.h > put the path into your project setup for additional headers paths;
  • include IUnit.lib into your project as well: either by inserting it in your project settings as an additional library, or by just putting the lib into your source file's list


[edit]

How to use the new class

For a brief description of all the new member functions go to IUnit.h in the SDK section.

Running missions using IUnit

To run an IUnit-mission you will need op2extra.dll in your main Outpost2-folder. When distributing a mission that utilizes the new IUnit class, be sure to include op2extra.dll into the package, otherwise other people cannot run your mision.
