using a script to change ownership
Does anyone know how to change ownership of a province at the start of a campaign? I'm adjusting my campaign script so that if the player isn't playing a certain faction. That faction would get another province. The province in question belongs to the slave faction and of course has a garrison. Thank you in advance for any help.

The descr_strat in data/world/maps/campaign maybe ?
Re: using a script to change ownership
That would change ownership when the player plays that faction also. I only want to change ownership when the ai controls the faction.

Add a campaign script at the end of descr_strat.txt. In the campaign script, switch to the faction that should get the region using console_command control <faction>, console_command capture_settlement <settlement_name> to pass it to that faction, then switch back to the player faction. For example, let's say you want to give Rome to carthage:
Code:declare_counter PlayerFaction if I_LocalFaction carthage set_counter PlayerFaction 1 end_if if I_LocalFaction gauls set_counter PlayerFaction 2 end_if ; etc, for all other factions if I_CompareCounter PlayerFaction != 1 console_command control carthage console_command capture_settlement Rome ; pass control back to the player faction if I_CompareCounter PlayerFaction = 2 console_command control gauls end_if ; do the same check for all the other factions (except the one you gave the settlement to) end_if

Re: using a script to change ownership
do I have to get rid of the slave garrison?
Here's the script as I typed it in.

Re: using a script to change ownership
- All the conditions for passing control back to the player faction should be inside the same if block where you pass settlements
- Please use "if ... != 1" instead of "if not ... = 1"
- I thought the capture_settlement command is supposed to kick the original garrison out. If for some reason that isn't happening, remove the rebel garrison from descr_strat.txt and add it as part of the campaign_script, as needed
- Any idea whether the CTD happens before or after the settlements are passed? You could try adding wait 3 between capture_settlement commands for debugging purposes

Re: using a script to change ownership
I made the changes you suggested. I had assumed that the i=1 was a typo. Sorry about that.
Here's what it looks like now.

no more CTD's. The perfect spy at the beginning doesn't work now also none of the settlements change hands. I get an error on exit that says that it doesn't recognize the "end script" token.

Re: using a script to change ownership
I've now added them twice, please put all your code within [spoiler][/spoiler] tags if its more than a couple of lines in length. You should also get into the habit of putting your code into [code][/code] tags

Re: using a script to change ownership
I'm afraid I don't know how to do any of what you just told me Squid!

Re: using a script to change ownership
See those tags I put in my last post, put your script inside the [code][/code] like [code]console_command toggle_perfect_spy
declare_counter PlayerFaction[/code],
That will generate the following:
and then put the entire thing inside the [spoiler][/spoiler] tags like [spoiler][code]console_command toggle_perfect_spyCode:console_command toggle_perfect_spy declare_counter PlayerFaction
declare_counter PlayerFaction[/code][/spoiler]
This finally will generate:

Must be missing the end_if tag after returning control to the player faction.

Re: using a script to change ownership
Where do I put the end_if tag?

Re: using a script to change ownership
At the end, after the if I_CompareCounter PlayerFaction = 21...end_if block.

Re: using a script to change ownership
Ok It doesn't get any CTD's. But it gets an error that the following line doesn't have a value set.

Re: using a script to change ownership
There is nothing wrong with that line. Please post the whole script again. I have a feeling the problem is somewhere else.

Looks like you confused ! for i and didn't get what I was saying about end_if. Try this:

Re: using a script to change ownership
Well progress is being made. The Romans_scipii faction works perfectly. But any other faction gets error less CTD's.

Re: using a script to change ownership
Try adding wait commands to see if you can pinpoint where exactly it CTDs:
Code:console_command control romans_scipii wait 3 console_command capture_settlement Campus_Melanchlaeni wait 3 console_command capture_settlement Vicus_Careotae wait 3 console_command capture_settlement Campus_Roxolani wait 3
