"FactionIsLocal" or the equivalent

[doggg2]

I don't know if anyone here remembers the Minor Mod "Conqurable Units". It use a script which add an event to the game when a specific city is captured to activate the recruitment of some elite units of the subdued faction. For example, when London is captured by a HRE general, in the campaign_script.txt the following code is executed:

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement SettlementName London
and FactionType hre
add_events
event historic hre_conquers_england
date 0 0
end_add_events
end_monitor

so this line in EDB

recruit_pool "Yeoman Archers" 1 0.7 6 0 requires factions { hre, } and event_counter hre_conquers_england 1

would work, enabling the player to recruit Yeoman Archers.

But when I re-read its code, I become quite puzzled: If an AI HRE general captures London, will the player be able to recruit Yeoman Archers as well? I remember in Rome there was a "FactionisLocal" to assure that the script works only for the player.Is necessary to add that or something similar to the original code if I the code work only for player?? If so, can anyone post the modded script here? Any suggestion is welcomed........

You would just add:

and FactionIsLocal

after the and FactionType hre (after a line break)

Currently it works if any HRE faction captures it. It also would enable the recruitment of Yeomans in every HRE settlement with that setup, unless the building the pool is attached to is settlement specific. As well if the player loses London it would not set it back. That is of course if there isn't another section of the script which handles these factors.

Thanks!
Another problem...In the building browser I can see that specific unit in the recruitable units list..but in the recruitment tab, I can't find it! How come that would happen?? Any suggestions? (By the way, according to edb the recruitment of that unit should be activated when event_counter *** =1, and it was right after I triggered the event that I checked the recruitmen tab in a city..so the recruitment requirements are already met..)

The recruit pools in a city take a turn to update. If you set up an event counter to flip between two recruitment pools by clicking a button for instance, it seems to not recognize the switch immediately but only either at the Turn End or Turn Start. It's possible it just hadn't populated that list yet if the event fired during that turn.

At first I guess so, but after a few turns it still doesn't work..I restarted a campaign and tested the same..and still the same result.

To make things clear, perhaps I should post codes involved here ...

1. event trigger in campaign_script

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement SettlementName Edinburgh
and FactionIsLocal
add_events
event historic conquer_scotland
date 0 0
end_add_events
end_monitor

2. edb,"drill square" (started campaign as england)

recruit_pool "Galloglaich" 1 0.5 4 0 requires factions { england, } and event_counter conquer_scotland 1

Try this script.

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement SettlementName Edinburgh
and FactionIsLocal
set_event_counter conquer_scotland 1
end_monitor

[doggg2]

seems don't work。。recuitable units list had updated, but you just can't recruit..

[redxavier]

Silly question, but is England specified in the EDU ownership line for the Galloglaich?

[doggg2]

My fault, i'm sorry............It is not that I didn't remember to change the ownership of Galloglaich in edu...In this version I'm working on, there are two units using the same screen-name "Galloglaich",and the one I modified is not the one in edb..Indeed silly question

Thanks anyway!

Have you ended the turn, or is it the same turn still as the capture, since apparently the recruitment/construction lists won't update until the next turn, even if descriptions do.
