Money Script Generator

Money Script Generator



It's actually very simple...

Step 1
list all faction you want a money script for. All factions should be separated by a comma and a space.

Example 1: "faction_1, faction_2"
Example 2: "romans_julii, gauls, spain"

Step 2
Now you have to define when you want the money script to be triggered. The example says "0, -500, -2000, -10000, -50000" but you can obviously change this to anything you like. If you say "0" then the listed factions will get financial support as soon as their treasury drops below zero. when you say "5000" then this will only happen when they go 5000 into dept. You can also list mulitple values by separating them with a comma and a space like above.

Step 3
After choosing when you want the faction to get financial aid, you now have to chose how with how much money you want to aid the faction.
By default, the tool has the following values: "1500, 3000, 12000, 50000, 100000". This list corresponds with the list of triggers you had before.

Triggers: 0, -500, -2000, -10000, -50000
Bonuses: 1500, 3000, 12000, 50000, 100000

or if we put them next to each other:
0 - 1500
-500 - 3000
-2000 - 12000
-10000 - 50000
-50000 -100000

In other words, this means that if an AI faction goes 10 denarii in dept, it will get a bonus of 1500 denarii at the start of its turn. And in the case it would go 60.000 in dept, it will get a bonus of 100.000 denarii.

Note: The more trigger/bonus values and factions you add, the longer (and thus heavier) the script becomes. To prevent lag on the campaign map, try to minimize this as much as possible.

Step 4
Now we now how to put our info in the tool, we press the button to generate the money script. Nothing to understand here, except that I assume you know where you should place the end product in your script.

If you use all default values, you will get the following result:

You might wonder why there are several bonuses of 40.000 instead of just one sum of them, but that's actually because RTW only allows a max of 40.000 to be added for each command.

I hope this makes the lives of a few people a little bit easier

That's awesome.

[Killerbee]

Lol, good job Pat

[Pat89]

thanks

[CaesarVincens]

Great tool!

However, looking at the script, I read it as saying when the faction is under +50,000, etc., it gets money, not when it is under -50,000.
It seems to me that there should be a negative sign in front of those threshold numbers.

[Pat89]

you're right

But that's just a mistake in the default values I set... if you list your triggers with a - in front of them it will be ok

So my list of triggers should have been: "0, -500, -2000, -10000, -50000" and it should work.

Thanks for the note, I'll fix the default values

Excellent tool, PatS. This will be really helpful.

I updated the first post so it now has the correct default values.

Thanks

(make sure to download the latest version, I updated it a few mins ago because of what C.V. pointed out)

[Hopit]

script file in your rtw data folder

[Pat89]

You have to put the content of the file in the background script. For more info about how to get a background script, see here: How-to: Add a background script to your mod
