Governor in settlement script

**uanime5** · August 08, 2008, 05:56 PM

I'm planning on making a building that gives positive traits to a settlement if the Governor is present and negative traits if no Governor is present. What script would I need to do this?

I think the script should go something like this but I'm not sure if 'IsGovernor' is the right command to require that the Governor be present:

Code:

    monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
        and IsGovernor 
        and SettlementBuildingExists = royal_barracks
     set_counter governor_present 1
    end_monitor

    monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
        and not IsGovernor 
        and SettlementBuildingExists = royal_barracks
     set_counter governor_present 0
    end_monitor

It looks like you took my governor in residence script and changed it

What you need to do is fire it on SettlementTurnEnd/Start so it will process for each settlement. SettlementTurnEnd/Start fires before FactionTurnEnd/Start so you should also be able to control whether or not it applies to the AI.

This will turn the counter off and on for each settlement in the players control as it processes the settlement. Then just put the counter in the requirements line of the EDB. If you want to apply the bonus to the AI the same way it is applied to the player, then make two more identical monitors except they will say "not SettlementIsLocal"

Code:

monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementIsLocal
     and GovernorInResidence
     and SettlementBuildingExists = royal_barracks
     other conditions if you want
     set_event_counter governor_present 1
end_monitor

monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementIsLocal
     and not GovernorInResidence
     other conditions if you want
     set_event_counter governor_present 0
end_monitor

If you want the bonus to apply to the AI all the time regardless of whether the governor is there or not, then simply set the counter to 1 at FactionTurnEnd FactionIsLocal. Then all the AI factions will get the bonus, but when the first player settlement is processed it will begin switching off and on again.
