Travel / undergoing military duties

[betto]

I always thought it strange that the generals and royals were traveling the same speed with or accompanying an entire army or alone (with only his bodyguard). So I thought about how to resolve this.

I huge increased the: type character named
...
starting_action_points 420

and held: type general
...
starting_action_points 140

within a settlement will work perfect the general can travel very far and the other troops have normal action points, but if I keep them on the field infantary, cavalry, artilery also travel farther ...

any idea how to monitor if a general shift the turn in the field and if is acompanied by other units add a trait on him ( undergoing military duties) to reduce his movement points or if alone the trait ( traveling alone ) keeping the huge movement points.
then whe he end a turn in a settlement remove this traits.

You could do something like:

Trait ExtraMovementWhenAlone 
    Characters named character
    Hidden

    Level Alone
        Description Alone_desc
        EffectsDescriotion Alone_effects_desc
        Threshold 1

        MovementPoints 50

;------------------------------------------
Trigger CharacterMovingAlone
    WhenToTest CharacterSelected

    Condition AgentType = named character
           and PercentageUnitAttribute general_unit = 100
           and ExtraMovementWhenAlone = 0

    Affects ExtraMovementWhenAlone 1 Chance 100

;------------------------------------------
Trigger CharacterMovingWithOthers
    WhenToTest CharacterSelected

    Condition AgentType = named character
           and PercentageUnitAttribute general_unit < 100
           and ExtraMovementWhenAlone = 1

    Affects ExtraMovementWhenAlone -1 Chance 100

The above is not quite what your after since any group of recruitable generals and/or family members travelling together will get the bonus. I didn't spot something to track army size on the campaign map. This will also require them to be separated from their unit and then reselected for it to kick in.

i tried this code ,but ctd

ctd solved but

when testing <PercentageUnitAttribute> condition
13:33:57.937 [game.script] [error] Trigger processing error in <SizeSet1>
: PercentageUnitAttribute needs a living character with an army.

Maybe try 'and not IsGeneral' instead of 'PercentageUnitAttribute'.

Did you change the event? There's no way, that I know of at any rate, to select a dead character.

I've had it crash trying.

: PercentageUnitAttribute needs a living character with an army.

My experience: "PercentageUnitAttribute" will ALWAYS create an error message if it is used for the stratmap. (Remember Tajii?) - regardless if the trigger works perfectly or not.

[Taiji]

To be honest no, I didn't come to that conclusion exactly, but you could be right. Look at my second to last post in that thread. I think there are around 3 events which export an army on the campaign map. Possibly they don't produce an error, but then they're pretty crappy events to use - eliminates a lot of ideas.

BTW Gigantus when the trigger works but reports an error does the PercentageUnitAttribute part of the trigger work?

[Gigantus]

Yup. Trigger works perfectly.
It checks for the presence of particular unit (via EDU custom attribute) in the army and then gives a trait to the general (effect increased movement). Error message gets created every time the trigger fires.
