Thread: Make a settlement a power centre for training special units.

    Default Make a settlement a power centre for training special units.

    How to make a Settlement "Power Centre" for recruiting certain units

    Well this was something i found in the crusades campaign_script.txt and thought it would be useful to some of the guys who want to put this cool trigger in the script of their mods.
    Lets us suppose there is a unit like Greek firethrower which you guys want to train only when you have a ownership of a particular settlement in this case lets take Constantinople for the Byzantium.

    Firstly open the campaign_script.txt for your mod which can found in this path:-
    your mod\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder.

    Open the file and paste this entry given below:

    ;Increment
    Code:
    monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
    and I_EventCounter holds_constantinople == 0
    add_events
    event counter holds_constantinople
    date 0
    end_add_events
    end_monitor
    ;Decrement
    Code:
    monitor_conditions not I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
    and I_EventCounter holds_constantinople == 1
    and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 0
    set_event_counter holds_constantinople 0
    end_monitor
    Save the script and now open the EDB(export_descr_buildings.txt) file in the data folder of your mod.
    Now add this line with a space after the recruit pool of your unit
    Code:
     and event_counter holds_constantinople 1
    The complete line should look like this now:-
    Code:
    recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower"  1   0.7   2  0  requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter holds_constantinople 1
    Remember to add this event counter to every line of Greek firethrower recruitment entry present in the EDB file.
    And that's it we are done here.

    Now the Byzantium can train Greek firethrower's only when it has the ownership of Constantinople. So in this way we can add more units attached to ownership of Constantinople or any other city.

    This method is better than the Hidden resource one coz with that we can only recruit that in that settlement only but with this script the recruitment is global(that is u can train them any settlement having the necessary building but u need to hold that Power centre city to make it recruitable Global throughout your kingdom.

    This kind of event (with variations of the condition) has been used even in the vanilla version - remember those "overseas" ships that you could only build when 'The world is round' had happened?

    Somewhat more elegant

    campaign_script:
    declare_counter holds_contstantinople
    ;Increment
    monitor_events I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
    set_counter holds_constantinople 1
    end_monitor

    ;Decrease
    monitor_events not I_SettlementOwner
    Constantinople = byzantium
    set_counter holds_constantinople 0
    end_monito
    r

    EDB:
    recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower" 0 0.000001 0.999 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and counter holds_constantinople 1

    Ah yes you are right gigantus the overseas ships example and also the gunpowder units when the gunpowder event pops up.

    Thank you for that...
    That is what i needed to add more realism in the medieval Roman (byzantine) faction for every era...
    Imperial troops and spesific kind of ships that can ONLY be reqruited to Constantinople.
    That could make the byzantine civil wars we intend to add to TGC mod more realistic and acurate because who ever holds the capital will gain the imperial troops also!
    A rep for you sir!
    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.

    could one not also have greek_fire as a hidden resource.
    allocate to constantinople only.
    and have the EDB say the necessary building requires faction byzantium and hidden resource greek_fire ?

    It will work just as fine, but only in Constantinople. The script will allow the unit to be build even in Paris (by Byzantium) as long as that faction holds Constantinople as well.

    The counter requirement is by far more flexible in this case, and it does not take a spot in the hidden_resource list - which is limited (64 entries I believe).

    Very true, gigantus, I read the O/P as saying poster wanted something for Constantinople alone.

    If this is for greek firethrowers for byzantine:

    campaign_script:
    declare_counter holds_contstantinople
    ;Increment
    monitor_events I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
    set_counter holds_constantinople 1
    end_monitor

    ;Decrease
    monitor_events not I_SettlementOwner
    Constantinople = byzantium
    set_counter holds_constantinople 0
    end_monito
    r

    EDB:
    recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower" 0 0.000001 0.999 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and counter holds_constantinople 1

    Would this be how you would do it to have Germany be able to recruit Ritterbruder?

    campaign_script:
    declare_counter holds_marienburg
    ;Increment
    monitor_events I_SettlementOwner Marienburg = hre
    set_counter holds_marienburg 1
    end_monitor

    ;Decrease
    monitor_events not I_SettlementOwner
    Marienburg = hre
    set_counter holds_Marienburg 0
    end_monito
    r

    EDB:
    recruit_pool "Dismounted Ritter" 0 0.000001 0.999 0 requires factions { hre, } and counter holds_Marienburg 1

    Monitor_events?
    How's that different from monitor_event?

    In that we all overlooked this obvious mistake. Thanks for pointing out.

    How can I adjust the script so that the effect is that whenever whatever faction conquers Constantinople they can train Greek_Firethrowers?

    You need a monitor for each faction whether they hold Constantinople, which triggers an event
    In the EDB you have to set a condition in the recruitment line for each faction combined with that event.

    Some confusing/wrong stuff in this thread. Shouldn't the examples use event counters?

    I have used event counters in the first post.
    Is there something wrong with it?

    You just copied vanilla, didn't you? It works in vanilla so of course you (actually CA) got it right.
