Question regarding LUA

[Lord_Phan]

Is the number listed there after effect the percentage chance of gaining the ancilleriy?

events.CharacterCompletedBattle[#events.CharacterCompletedBattle+1] =
function (context)
if conditions.CharacterType("General", context) and conditions.CharacterTrait("C_General_Scout", context) == 1 and conditions.CharacterTurnsInEnemyLands(context) >= 0 and conditions.CharacterWonBattle(context) and not conditions.CampaignName("episodic_1", context) and not conditions.CampaignName("episodic_3", context) and not conditions.CharacterCultureType("tribal", context) then
if conditions.DateInRange(1700, 1900, context) then
effect.ancillary("Ancillary_Army_Military_Surveyor", 2, context)
end
return true
end




return false
end
--[[ Ancillary_Army_Ottoman_Turncoat_2_Trigger ]]--
events.CharacterCompletedBattle[#events.CharacterCompletedBattle+1] =
function (context)
if conditions.CharacterType("General", context) and not conditions.CharacterFactionName("ottomans", context) and conditions.CharacterFoughtCulture("middle_east", context) and conditions.CharacterWonBattle(context) and conditions.BattleResult("major_victory", context) and not conditions.CampaignName("episodic_1", context) and not conditions.CampaignName("episodic_3", context) and not conditions.CharacterCultureType("tribal", context) then
if conditions.DateInRange(1700, 1900, context) then
effect.ancillary("Ancillary_Army_Ottoman_Turncoat", 17, context)
end
return true
end
return false
end


Also where are the events being called from?

[alpaca]

effect.ancillary("Ancillary_Army_Military_Surveyor", 2, context)

This number is the probability in percent.

And they're called from the game exe. What you do is add an event listener to a kind of dictionary. This dictionary is then read by Empire.exe and the events are executed appropriately.

And the "dictonary" are the events.lua ?

So if i add my own trigger in events.lua and define him in one of the export_*.lua it will be called?
How can i control when its called? I assume there are triggers for battles and other ones for the campain map.....

All events are listed in events.lua in the root directory of patch.pack

Jep i get that, but i didnot manage to add my own events.

It logs only if i use existing ones.

And what I am most curious about;

Can we create effects, then, can I attach that effect to a building?

Also;

What variables can I adjust using said events?

I'm fairly sure events are hardcoded so you can't add any. I think they're in the C++ LuA-governing code

I think that effects are also hardcoded. As is the game_interface.
