J@mes' Kingdoms Scripts

[J@mes]

I have not had a chance to fully test the retire_characters but it only seems to retire all character of that type in this case priest so i don't think it can be used to kill off a character.

there is the kill_character for that type of work but the character must be tagged with a label or the script must know the characters name.

I'm unfamilliar with the convert religion event, if I use it to allow a faction to convert will I need to add that faction to the appropriate religious buildings in EDB?

[J@mes]

yes you can use a event_counter to trigger this like a switch for a tech tree i will update the tutorial tomorrow on this and explain.

[Gigantus]

- The only way to get a character on to the campaign map during game play is by spawning.
- The off_map command avoids removing the character from the family tree.
- In the Britannia campaign the Norwegian king STARTS off_map. That way he is alive in the family tree, ages accordingly and is available for spawning.

[J@mes]

updated with the send_character_off_map command.

Yeah, I understand that. But AFAIK when you spawn the new Edward the engine actually creates a new one. I mean, data like acquired traits and ancillaries are not exactly the same as from the guy that was sent off the map. Or is it?

yes those are saved, check my script i wrote for sending Hernán Cortés to the new world i did not respawn him with the same traits but he still had them.

[BozosLiveHere]

Oh, that is awesome. It means the command is actually useful.

[krycek]

Will this include link_faction_ai? and good tutorial btw. +rep.

and thanks for thoses scripts you wrote for me.

[J@mes]

Yes I plan to cover link_faction_ai soon.

My game crashes when I try to implement the convert religion script. This is how I have it, based on the Kingdoms grand campaign script for Lithuania:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;------------------- MONGOL CONVERSION TO ISLAM -------------------;

;increment the timer for conversion offer
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType mongols

inc_event_counter mongols_conversion_timer 1

if I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_accepted = 1
terminate_monitor
end_if

end_monitor

;offer the conversion to Lithuania if the correct conditions are met

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType mongols

if I_NumberOfSettlements mongols < 10
and I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_timer >= 5
and I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_accepted = 0

;offer conversion to christianity
historic_event mongols_conversion true factions { mongols, }

;if AI random chance to accept
if I_IsFactionAIControlled mongols

generate_random_counter random_accept 0 2
if I_EventCounter random_accept < 2
set_event_counter mongols_conversion_accepted 1
end_if

end_if

terminate_monitor

end_if

if I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_timer >= 65
and I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_accepted = 0

;offer conversion to christianity
historic_event mongols_conversion true factions { mongols, }

;if AI random chance to accept
if I_IsFactionAIControlled mongols

generate_random_counter random_accept 0 2
if I_EventCounter random_accept < 2
set_event_counter mongols_conversion_accepted 1
end_if

end_if

terminate_monitor

end_if

end_monitor

monitor_conditions I_EventCounter mongols_conversion_accepted = 1

;Three easy steps for conversion

;1 - Convert the people
set_religion mongols islam
change_population_religion mongols islam 75 pagan

;2 - Destroy the pagan buildings
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_dievas true
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_dievas_castle true
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_perkunas true
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_perkunas_castle true
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_giltine true
;destroy_buildings lithuania temple_giltine_castle true

;3 - Disband the pagan units
retire_characters mongols priest
;destroy_units Lithuania pagan_unit

;notify all factions that Lithuania has converted and become Catholic
historic_event mongols_converts event/Lithuania_converts.bik

set_event_counter pagan_mongols 0
set_event_counter not_pagan_mongols 1
; change lithuania ai label
link_faction_ai mongols islam

terminate_monitor

end_monitor

Did you declare the counters at the beginning of the script? (unlikely error, the script wouldn't have crashed because of this, just not fired)

Did you make entries in historic_events? (mongols_conversion, mongols_converts) - this causes a crash if you don't.

[AndariusHaliusScipio]

I found my problem:

{MONGOLS_CONVERSION_TITLE}Convert to Islam?
{MONGOLS_CONVERSION_TITLE}Will the great Khanate submit to Allah and Muhammad, His Messenger?


Guess what it was

[Gigantus]

{MONGOLS_CONVERSION_TITLE}Convert to Islam?
{MONGOLS_CONVERSION_TITLEBODY}Will the great Khanate submit to Allah and Muhammad, His Messenger?

[AndariusHaliusScipio]

The game's now crashing when I have it accept the change in religion.

[Gigantus]

mongols_converts - have you got the entry in historic_events?

[AndariusHaliusScipio]

That's not in the tutorial. What do I put?

[Gigantus]

You create two entries in the historic_events file in the same way like you did the ones for "mongols_conversions" - don't forget the picture for this event!

[AndariusHaliusScipio]

James should really add that to the tutorial

[Gigantus]

He hasn't been around for ages. So don't expect it soon.

But as a principle: every historic_event needs it's entry in the data\text \historic_events file. Otherwise it will crash the game without error message.

I want to chek a first script with change settlement name.
This script is not out of order:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; -- Istanbul
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Venice = milan
and I_CompareCounter Venice_milan = 0

set_counter Venice_milan 1
change_settlement_name Venice Istanbul

end_monitor


monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Venice = venice
and I_CompareCounter Venice_milan = 1

set_counter Venice_milan 0
change_settlement_name Venice Venice

end_monitor

And I add to expanded:

{Istanbul}hagafa
{Venice}wenecja

Settlement name do not change, when my milan army counter Venice city.
Did I do something badly?
