Make a settlement a power centre for training special units.

Marvelous it's working , it's incredible how a single space can messed up everything .

It's sure is not the good topic but how do we create a new hidden_ressource?
Like hidden_ressource acre and hidden_ressource antioch? Thank you

Glad it's working.
& read this for hidden resources.

Ahh., Thanks Ishan, now I can fulfill my final Crusader States

More than 2 years have passed, but it's never late for a little humor, i think...
Ishan, i wonder what you were thinking when you made this typo at the first line of your code in the first post
Constantiniple


Seriously now, can someone tell me which code is better? The one from Ishan, or the one from Gigantus, which was corrected by Taiji below?

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

And if i used this method, should i also use declare_event_counter instead of declare_counter, so it should look like:

declare_event_counter holds_contstantinople
;Increment
monitor_events I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
set_event_counter holds_constantinople 1
end_monitor
;Decrement
monitor_events not I_SettlementOwner Constantinople = byzantium
set_event_counter holds_constantinople 0
end_monitor

??

Anyway, i tried Ishan's code and it works for me, BUT it works the opposite way , when the line in EDB is

and event_counter holds_constantinople 0

instead of

and event_counter holds_constantinople 1




...why's that??

Use the one i've in the OP, i have used "event_counter", it's recognized by EDB file while "counter" is not recognized in EDB so gig's version won't work when put to practice.

And if i used this method, should i also use declare_event_counter instead of declare_counter

You don't declare event_counter.

The script works exactly as intented and described in the OP. And "zero" in event counters when used in EDB doesn't work.

and event_counter holds_constantinople 0

You have to put it as:

and not event_counter holds_constantinople 1

Hope that helps.

Edit
Thanks for pointing out the typo mate.

Ok, thanks for your answer

I think what caused my "problem" was that i had copied and pasted your typo in my file

I guess NOW it's working as intended.


....I began editing some files some days ago, it's fun!!

[Ishan]

Yeah that was totally my bad, obviously the script gets broken if the settlement name is entered wrong.

Well, the code might be nice and all, but the truth is i still don't understand a couple of things, and if someone could explain them i'd be grateful.

What does the "==" symbol mean, is it "equal" or is it "not equal"?

What does the line "date 0" do?

Could there be used monitor_events instead of monitor_conditions?

Wouldn't it be a little better if we named the counter "Byzantium_holds_Constantinople" for more clarity?

This method is better than the Hidden resource one coz with that we can only recruit that in that settlement only but with this script the recruitment is global(that is u can train them any settlement having the necessary building but u need to hold that Power centre city to make it recruitable Global throughout your kingdom.

I wouldn't say that it's better or worse... As i understand it, those are just two different approaches and one can choose to implement whatever he likes. I chose to mix those two, so as Byzantium only can train Firethrowers when it owns Constantinople (Ishan's way), but when they're trained there they get +1 exp and also Constantinople has a better recruitement rate for them (hidden_resource use in Constantinople for firethrowers).

== means "equal to", for not one would mention not before it or use exclamation mark to denote not "!".

Date 0 means instantly at the time when script is fired. If say the year in campaign was 1080 and the the script which fires has Date 2, then the effect will take place in year 1080+2 = 1082 A.D..

No, conditions & events are different things, they can't be replaced, they are fixed types, download the docudemons 4.0 to know all the valid events and conditions types.

Yes rename the event counter to anything you like, the name doesn't matters.

Hidden resources are fixed upto 64, so they're better spent on something else moreover this script acts globally while with hidden resources the unit is only available if the settlement has this hidden resource type, so that's why i used the word "better".

[EP!anastasi]

Thanks for your anwers again

== means "equal to", for not one would mention not before it or use exclamation mark to denote not "!".

Right, that's how i thought it should work, i just think i have seen other scripts use the symbol "=" in similar cases and not "==", that's why i was a bit confused...

...download the docudemons 4.0 to know all the valid events and conditions types.

I have, but i haven't unpacked them yet

Hidden resources are fixed upto 64, so they're better spent on something else

Yes, i agree that your code is better in this perspective
