UI - EditUnitNames Vanilla

Right-click a unit's name to edit it at any time - not just after a promotion.
Uses UnitPanel.lua - not compatible with any other mods that modify that file.

Vanilla version of the mod - for the expansions look for
UI - EditUnitNames
BNW Version
UI - EditUnitNames 3
GnK Version

I have no way to test the vanilla version of this mod, so let me know if it works.

To get this functionality with other Unit Panel mods, insert the following into the mod's UnitPanel.lua:

function OnUnitNameRClicked()
-- rename this unit

if UI.GetHeadSelectedUnit() then
local popupInfo = {
Type = ButtonPopupTypes.BUTTONPOPUP_RENAME_UNIT,
Data1 = UI.GetHeadSelectedUnit():GetID(),
Data2 = -1,
Data3 = -1,
Option1 = false,
Option2 = false;
}
Events.SerialEventGameMessagePopup(popupInfo);
end
end
Controls.UnitNameButton:RegisterCallback( Mouse.eRClick, OnUnitNameRClicked );
