How do I remove AI boosts?

**RabidSheepLegion** · October 03, 2010, 04:25 PM

I have tried searching for this on forum but could not find it. I know it has something to do with putting ; in the character trait file for ai boosts, but when i did it, when I end turn i get error message and game turns off.

You have to comment out the triggers - and even then it won't help for your current game.
Your game crashes because you are commenting out the traits, but the AI generals don't magically lose them.
They still have them, the game looks, then fails to find them and throws a fit and crashes.
If you want to remove them in the current game then you have to change the triggers to that they will LOSE the traits.

oooh... (just changed title to how DO I remove traits)... how do I change it so they lose them?

The error is due to the triggers still existing.
Comment out these sections instead:

Code:

;----another ai boost trait--------
Trigger AI_general_boost
 WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

 Condition IsGeneral
       and not CharacterIsLocal
       and Trait NaturalAiBoost = 0

 Affects NaturalAiBoost 1 Chance 100

;------------------------------------------
Trigger AI_heir_boost

 Condition not IsFactionHeir
       and not CharacterIsLocal
       and Trait NaturalAiBoost < 2

;------------------------------------------
Trigger AI_leader_boost
 WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

 Condition not IsFactionLeader
       and not CharacterIsLocal
       and Trait NaturalAiBoost < 4

 Affects NaturalAiBoost 5 Chance 100

Code:

Don't mess with the move fix, it's so that AI characters don't get permanently stuck somewhere.

hmmm so something like this?

;----another ai boost trait--------
;Trigger AI_general_boost
; WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart
;
; Condition IsGeneral
; and not CharacterIsLocal
; and Trait NaturalAiBoost = 0
;
; Affects NaturalAiBoost 1 Chance 100

Yes.

ok so as far as I can tell, I am restricting the triggers for the ai, so in essence, they cannot use the traits?
