New level up city structures code question - Solved

from Elemental Forums

The code should be adding a new building, very common for testing purposes to the level up options of a fortress.  It is not showing up as an option.

 

<AbilityBonusOption InternalName="UnlockPsionicTrainingAcademy">
<DisplayName>Psionic Training Academy</DisplayName>
<Description>Unlock the mental forces latent in your race. All units trained here will have the psionic bolt trait, allowing them to attack the minds of their enemies.</Description>

*shoots all the trouble*...

Sorry I had to :)

Did you remove one of the other buildings, or set so the city will have more than 3 options per levelup?

Edit: Found it here in the "ElementalDefs.xml"
To be honest, I can't tell if the code is correct or not, not too experienced with that, but I did notice this one item last time I looked through the definitions.

no, I want it to show up as a random option, kinda like level up traits for heroes.   The idea is that this would be a rare option for an upgrade, once I change the chance of it showing up to 25 or so.

Arh, sorry, also just noticed your high likelihood (first glance just told me you had it ;)).

Just my first though, re-edited my first post a few times though, because I didn't feel like I said it all at first, and had to correct it... (but you responded rather quickly :))

Edit: Also, looks like a perfect copy/paste of the Underforge (my ability of reference), so myself is at a loss. sorry

No worries.  I did use your advice for further trouble shooting, when I delete one of the other options from the list, it only gives me two level up choices.  So it is not showing up at all.

Solved it.   I somehow missed the tag  <AbilityBonus InternalName="CityLevel_UnlockLevel3">

Thanks for your help,  you got my mind working on a more reasonable track :)
