I've found X2Ability_ClassTraining.uc, which is where templates for abilities gained from training are defined. Good examples for how to create trained abilities, often as passives that act as conditionals for behavior in associated abilities.

I've found X2StrategyElement_DioHQTemplates.uc, where trainings themselves (X2DioTrainingProgramTemplates) are defined. Good examples for how to create custom trainings.

Where I'm stuck is how to associate a training with a specific character based on their level.

I've found DefaultClassData.ini, which looks to be where abilities and trainings are assigned to characters by level.

But I do not know the means to override this to insert training at the appropriate level. Is this the only place where that can happen?

I've been trying to do this programmatically instead, noting that if we can get a X2SoldierClassTemplate for a specific character from the X2SoldierClassTemplateManager, this var should be available to use:

var config protected array<SoldierClassRank> SoldierRanks;


A SoldierClassRank struct has:

var array<name> TrainingPrograms;

Problem is the SoldierRanks var on X2SoldierClassTemplate is protected, we can't access it directly. But this function is present in the same class:

function array<name> GetTrainingPrograms(int Rank)

My thinking was to find the soldier's template via the soldier class template manager, get its training programs for the desired rank (testing with 0), then add the name of the training program.

I don't think this part is working properly, though, it doesn't look like I can modify the training programs this way.

I did a redscreen of the contents of GetTrainingPrograms(0) after adding mine, which looked fine.

But as a sanity check, I accessed the training programs fresh after the addition, and my addition isn't present:

```
...
CharacterTemplateManager = class'X2SoldierClassTemplateManager'.static.GetSoldierClassTemplateManager();
PsionTemplate = CharacterTemplateManager.FindSoldierClassTemplate('SoldierClass_Psion');
TrainingPrograms = PsionTemplate.GetTrainingPrograms(0);
TrainingPrograms.AddItem('TrainingProgram_ShelterSlipstream');

// it should be added, sanity check

PsionTemplate = CharacterTemplateManager.FindSoldierClassTemplate('SoldierClass_Psion');
TrainingPrograms = PsionTemplate.GetTrainingPrograms(0);
foreach TrainingPrograms( Program )
{
`RedScreen( "Training program =" @ Program ); // my addition doesn't print
}
```

Looking for help or insight here. If there's a better way to add a training program to a character, I definitely want to know!
