Unit

class library.Unit

An instance of the class Unit represents one unit in the game. The units are not limited to moveable units, but every entity which is not part of the background is a unit. For example, the minerals and geysers are units as well as all buildings.

For all possible types of units see the enum library.UNIT_TYPEID. Some types of objects are almost the same, for example there are many types of mineral deposits, but all of them are mineable. This is one of the motivations behind the library.UnitType which aims to to make the list of types more manageable. The UnitType can be accessed by the Unit.unit_type property.

It is possible to use Unit as keys in a dictionary, which might be helpful for bookkeeping.

Properties:

Unit.buffs

Returns a list of BuffID

Unit.build_percentage

Unit.is_blip

Returns true if unit is a “blip” - a ping on the map

Unit.is_being_constructed

Returns build_progress > 0

Unit.is_burrowed

Unit.is_cloaked

Unit.is_completed

Returns build_progress >= 1

Unit.is_flying

Unit.is_idle

Unit.is_powered

Unit.is_training

Unit.is_valid

Unit.player

Returns the progress of currently used ability (-1 if not using ability)

Unit.radius

Retruns the radius of the unit

Unit.weapon_cooldown

Unit.is_carrying_minerals

Returns if this unit is currently holding minerals

Unit.is_carrying_gas

Returns if this unit is currently holding gas

Unit.target

Returns target if unit has one, otherwise will fail the assertion (make sure not to call this unless certain that the unit has a target!)

Unit.gas_left_in_refinery

This is used on the geyser. Returns the amount of gas left in refinery

Unit.minerals_left_in_mineralfield

Returns the amount of minerals left in mineralfield

Unit.owner

Returns the Player ID, the owner of the unit

Methods:

Unit.ability(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. ability(self: library.Unit, arg0: sc2::SC2Type<sc2::ABILITY_ID>) -> None
2. ability(self: library.Unit, arg0: sc2::SC2Type<sc2::ABILITY_ID>, arg1: sc2::Point2D) -> None
3. ability(self: library.Unit, arg0: sc2::SC2Type<sc2::ABILITY_ID>, arg1: library.Unit) -> None

Call an ability directly, different abilities has different targets. Some target the unit itself (no argument), target a point (Point2D as argument) and some target a Unit (instance of Unit as argument)

Unit.is_constructing(self, unit_type: library.UnitType)

Returns true if the unit is currently constructing another unit of type unit_type. Note that unit_type needs to be an instance of library.UnitType

Unit.stop(self: library.Unit) → None

Unit.attack_unit(self: library.Unit, arg0: library.Unit) → None

Unit.attack_move(self: library.Unit, arg0: sc2::Point2D) → None

Unit.move(self, point)

Move the unit to the given point, the point being an instance of either library.Point2D or library.Point2DI.

Unit.right_click(self: library.Unit, arg0: library.Unit) → None

Same as right-clicking in the game, for example making workers mine minerals

Unit.repair(self: library.Unit, arg0: library.Unit) → None

Unit.build(self: library.Unit, building_type: UnitType, position: sc2::Point2DI) → None

Build unit of type building_type at given position

Unit.build_target(self: library.Unit, building_type: UnitType, target: library.Unit) → None

Build building_type on top of target Unit, useful for building refineries

Unit.train(self: library.Unit, unit_type: UnitType) → None

Train unit of type

Unit.research(self: library.Unit, upgrade_id: sc2::SC2Type<sc2::UPGRADE_ID>) → None

Research the given library.UPGRADE_ID

Unit.morph(self: library.Unit, unit_type: UnitType) → None

Morph into type of unit_type

Unit.has_target()

Returns True if the target has a valid target and False otherwise

Unit.hold_position(self: library.Unit) → None

Unit.stop_dance(self: library.Unit) → None

Stop and dance
