Okay thx, very great tutorial!

Mercuri:
Hello Gokiller, I'm having some problems. I want to create a new sections for the Infantry in order to divide it. But I want diferents names for each faction and each unit tipe. I tryed it but doesn't work, i don't know if it isn't possible or ir cause I did something wrong.

I'm getting this error: 'int' object is not callable.

First of all, the unit types that I want for each faction was:
SpoilerFaction 1
* Maestrazgo's Ift
* Northern Ift
* Cavalry
* SpecialistFaction 2
* Liberal Ift
* Royal Infantry
* Cavalry
* Specialist[close]
As I want diferent unit types for each faction I supposed that I need to create 4 new unit types and assign them the units (I dont know if this is possible or not)

Now I'm going to sow you what I did.

module_strings:

--- Code ---
#Unit Selection
("infantry", "Infantry"),
("infantry1", "Maestrazgo's Ift"),
("infantry2", "Northern Ift"),
("infantry3", "Liberal Ift"),
("infantry4", "Royal Infantry"),
("cavalry", "Cavalry"),
("specialists", "Specialists"),
("ranker", "Ranker"),
("equipment", "Equipment:"),
("random", "Random"),
("howitzer", "Howitzer"),
("cannon", "Cannon"),

So if you or anyone can help I will be so grateful.

Gokiller:
Don't really have the time atm to get a full look into that. But some first things I notice is that.

That you didn't edit the next part in both first presentation part and the second.

--- Quote --- (overlay_set_alpha, reg0, 0xD0),
(position_set_x, pos1, 110),
(position_set_y, pos1, 660),
--- End quote ---

As you can see in your presentation lines you have put the same position for like 4 sections. In which case you obviously won't see them because they now are just under the current one (infantry that is). So check out these values and adjust them accordingly. I'would advice to use the cavalry and artillery values as standard to work with.

Secondly. for module constants. Don't give out the same number twice. For example, you gave the number 1 to several slots same to 2. Just count ahead of the last one, so 5-6-7 etc.

First check if you get this fixed right. Then I'll check for the rest.

Goodluck.

Mercuri:
I've been talking with my team and we really didn't need to do this beacuse we eliminated unnecessary units from each faction and now fit in the list.But many thanks for reply me, when I have time I will do it for my personal use because I think it's a good idea to have different unit types in different factions.

DanyEle:
Very nice guide. I never actually tried to create a new unit selection myself, but this might come in handy in the future :)
