Make a settlement a power centre for training special units.

[Ishan]

You just copied vanilla, didn't you? It works in vanilla so of course you (actually CA) got it right.

Thanks

[attyla]

are you sure it works under MTW2 vanilla too? I've tryed to do it and i can't recruit firethrowers no matter if i have Constantinople or not.

[Ishan]

Yes it will work on vanilla too coz the script is based on event_counters and vanilla has this condition type and used in for eg the world is round event.
Check properly.

[attyla]

hmmm. So holds_constantinople works after "world is around" event olny? So i should call world around on start of the game forth? Is it possible? I didn't examine script for this event.

[Ishan]

U misunderstood my sentence but forget that i know what u did wrong.
U copied this line right?

recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower" 0 0.000001 0.999 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter holds_constantinople 1

So it will not work coz the of the numbers the unit will not appear.
Try this then it will work

 recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower"  1   0.7   2  0  requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter holds_constantinople 1

[Taiji]

Why are you using '0.000001 0.999' as an example in the OP, Ishan?

You say 'It should look like this:' but then that unit will never be recruited, nor even be used as a retraining point. Maybe put some working code in there

Would this be how you would do it to have Germany be able to recruit Ritterbruder?

[/COLOR]campaign_script:
declare_counter holds_marienburg
;Increment
monitor_events I_SettlementOwner Marienburg = hre
set_counter holds_marienburg 1
end_monitor
;Decrease
monitor_events not I_SettlementOwner Marienburg = hre
set_counter holds_Marienburg 0
end_monitor

EDB:
recruit_pool "Dismounted Ritter" 0 0.000001 0.999 0 requires factions { hre, } and counter holds_Marienburg 1

Close but EDB will only accept event counters. So you can use 'set_event_counter' instead of 'set_counter' in the script, and then 'event_counter' instead of 'counter' in edb.

I failed to address that issue in a previous post, slipped my mind somehow

U are right the minute attyla said it didn't work i knew that a newbie who is not familiar with EDB will make that error that was my bad.

And Taiji the fact is that i made that thread when i was a rookie myself i didn't knew what those numbers mean. I just did exactly what was inside the EDB file. And since Crusades had a few for them for GFTs i picked the first one.
Hell when i was new here i didn't what was vanilla. and i actually had to search the internet to understand it's meaning(it was obvious that vanilla≠ icecream in that sentence).

Anyways i have updated the OP and hope it's all good now.

[Taiji]

That's much much better, really clear and concise +rep

[attyla]

Ishan
maby i'm thick, bun not so much I've seen and removed your mistakes (in the code of event too - in first line you've wrote i_settlementOwner Constantiniple).
I've checked all very carefully twise and tryed Taijis code too.
No success. I still cannot recruit units available under this condition...

[Ishan]

Ok post ur EDB and CS here we will take a look.

[attyla]

sorry. I've finally found an error.
I've used yours code and you were wrote:

recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower" 1 0.7 1 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter holds_constantinople 1

I've changed this entry in this mode:

recruit_pool "Greek Firethrower" 1 0.005 1 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and hidden_resource konstantynopol and event_counter holds_constantinople 0

and it works.
I didn't notice, that you use this event contrarivise: when you are holding Constantinople, you cannot recruit firethrowers aned when you will surrender this city, you can recruit them.

I don't understand what is your point?

In your EDB entry you have added 2 conditions and the unit will be available when both of them are true.
You have completed negated the use of the script.

[attyla]

No. I have 2 levels for spetial units. At first level you can recruit them on condition holding Constantinople but in particulare place or particulare region only(when i want to let recruit unit in more then one city - i.e Vardariotai you can recruit them only holding Constantinople and in some of balkan regions ). At second level (alias on next level of building) you can recruit units on condition holding Constantinople but in every city of empire.

[Ishan]

You are not getting the point i said why are u using 2 conditions for the same unit Hidden resource is not required when u are using the event counter one.

Use only one condition in GFT as......
Ahhhh forget it atleast u say it's working for you.

[Gigantus]

and event_counter holds_constantinople 0

The game does not recognize a zero in this condition. Instead use the negative way:

and not event_counter holds_constantinople 1

and moved to tutorials

.

[attyla]

i've changed it but i cannot see any different.

[Ishan]

i've changed it but i cannot see any different.

Gigantus has already told u the thing but u are not getting my point if u are using this script as stated in my first post then u don't need to use hidden resource thing for that unit.

Hidden resource makes the available when u have that settlement and it's available in that settlement only.
Now this one makes it global so it will be also available in Constantinople so you don't need to use hidden resource at all in case of this unit.

@Gigantus
Thanks for bumping up the thread in Tut section. +rep.

[Polycarpe]

It doesn't work for me and I've follow everything

EDB:
recruit_pool "Guards Of Jerusalem" 0 0.4 3 0 requires factions { jerusalem, } and event_counter holds_jerusalem 1

campaign_script:

;Increment
monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = jerusalem
and I_EventCounter holds_jerusalem == 0
add_events
event counterholds_jerusalem
date 0
end_add_events
end_monitor

;Decrease
monitor_conditions not I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = jerusalem
and I_EventCounter holds_jerusalem == 1
and I'NumberOfSettlements jerusalem > 0
set_event_counter holds_jerusalem 0
end_monitor

I also add for Antioch :

;Increment
monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Antioch = jerusalem
and I_EventCounter holds_antioch == 0
add_events
event counterholds_antioch
date 0
end_add_events
end_monitor

;Decrease
monitor_conditions not I_SettlementOwner Antioch = jerusalem
and I_EventCounter holds_antioch == 1
and I'NumberOfSettlements jerusalem > 0
set_event_counter holds_antioch 0
end_monitor

[Ishan]

@Byzantium guard
The first error i see is a missing space here:-

add_events
event counter*holds_jerusalem
date 0

where * is the missing space, so fix it.

[Taiji]

Perhaps just use set_event_counter if it's just an event counter that's being affected, I don't see any point using add_events there.


And check for more typos: I'NumberOfSettlements should be I_NumberOfSettlements

The log should be telling you about problems like that.
