Garrison Script

Tutorial for a Garrisonscript


Open campaign_script.txt
This is the code, which we implent in campaign_script.txt

;=========================================================================================


;---------- Counter ----------

declare_counter rome_siege


;---------- Garrionscript ----------
 
monitor_conditions not I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        set_counter rome_siege 0
end_monitor

monitor_conditions I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        and I_CompareCounter rome_siege = 0

if I_SettlementOwner Rome = papal_states                    
    create_unit Rome, peasant, num 2, exp 2, arm 1, wep 0
end_if        

set_counter rome_siege 1

end_monitor

First we set the counter rome_siege to 0.
If Rome is now under siege ("I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome" ) and is controlled by the papal states ("if I_SettlementOwner Rome = papal_states"), we spawn 2 Peasants ("num 2") with 2 experience (maximum 9) 1 Weaponupgrade (maximum 9) and no Armourupgrade (maximum 9) in Rome.
Now we set the counter rome_siege to 1, because we don't want to spawn the troops two times

Congrats, you have no written a full functional Garrisonscript.

Now you can implent some nice features like, if Arabs siege Rome you Spawn more troops etc.

;=========================================================================================


;---------- Counter ----------

declare_counter rome_siege


;---------- Garrionscript ----------
 
monitor_conditions not I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        set_counter rome_siege 0
end_monitor

monitor_conditions I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        and I_CompareCounter rome_siege = 0

if I_SettlementOwner Rome = papal_states 
and I_FactionBesieging egypt                  
    create_unit Rome, Feudal Knights, num 4, exp 2, arm 5, wep 5
end_if        

set_counter rome_siege 1

end_monitor

The small additonial line "and I_FactionBesieging egypt" give the game all inforamtions ehich are needed.



You can also make more conditions.
For example if it is a citadel better units will spawn:

;=========================================================================================

;---------- Counter ----------

declare_counter rome_siege

;---------- Garrionscript ----------


monitor_conditions not I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        set_counter rome_siege 0
end_monitor

monitor_conditions I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome            
        and I_CompareCounter rome_siege = 0


if I_SettlementOwner Rome = papal_states 
and I_FactionBesieging egypt                  
and SettlementBuildingExists = citadel    
    create_unit Rome, Feudal Knights, num 4, exp 2, arm 5, wep 5
    create_unit Rome, Armored Sergeants, num 4, exp 2, arm 5, wep 5
end_if        

set_counter rome_siege 1
end_monitor

I hope this small Tutorial will help

Hey, very nice tutorial. +rep(when i have 50 posts)

[weissnicht]

Anyone?

[Userpro]

Well done - the very first tutorial about integrating a garrison script!

[weissnicht]

Thanks mate

Nice tutorial.

You should check out my garrison script for additional ideas as i figured out a way to incorporate every settlment (199 is max) every faction (31 is max i think) and every unit (500 units is max i believe) into the one script and it causes no turn lag. I wrote the script for Stainless Steel originally and then helped King Kong adopt it for TATW. You can even have different units spawn depending on what year it is in game or what events have fired during the game. It is a very versatile garrison script.

[weissnicht]

I've already checked your great garrisonscript. Maybe I will adapt some infos from it and will implent them in this tut

Nice tutorial , but i have one question...

if I want make garrison for Rome if this city under siege by one of Islamic Faction such as : Turks, Egypt, Moors ?

What I have to make 3 garrison scripts one by one ? Or is there any other solution without making 3 garrison script, but only 1 garrison script ?

example :

if I_SettlementOwner Rome = papal_states
and I_FactionBesieging egypt, turks, moors

Can the script works ?

[IZob]

I would think just adding in the comma for eg: "and I_FactionBesieging egypt, turks, moors, hre, venice" etc... that should work. You can alwasy try it out/test it.

[weissnicht]

Yeah, try it out (you can script an army and let them attack rome) or you write 3 different garrison scripts for Rome, when besieged by moors, turks or egypt etc.

Nice tutorial , but i have one question...

Thank you
You can pay in €uro or rep

[longbowmen100]

I have tried but not work.
"and I_FactionBesieging egypt, turks, moors, hre, venice"

[weissnicht]

Then you have to write different scripts for each settlement.
But I will try to find a way to make one Code per settlement

[yujote]

will this work with Third age Total war?

[Ishan]

Yes Certainly.

[HELLEKIN]

hello,everyone,i would like to know if this works in vanilla?many thanks in advance

[oracle135]

Hi. After the siege, would the free garrison units disband a la Empire and Shogun 2, or would they remain in the city? If the latter, is there a way to automatically disband them after the city is saved?

[Gigantus]

You could edit this monitor to 'retire' garrison units (which requires additional EDU slots where you give a custom attribute to those units that you spawn):

monitor_conditions not I_SettlementUnderSiege Rome                     
        set_counter rome_siege 0
        destroy_units [faction] [custom attribute]
 end_monitor

[Badger-dude]

If the garrison already is full (20 units), will the script:

1) Spawn adjacent
or
2) Spawn nothing?

[Vegas_Bear]

If the garrison already is full (20 units), will the script:

1) Spawn adjacent
or
2) Spawn nothing?

If under siege, nothing.

VB

[Gigantus]

The spawn will add units to the garrison and when the limit is reached, nothing will happen after that.
