More noobd scripting questions....

[RollingWave]

I'm trying to create a building system where the buildings would be destroyed if they every change hand, no matter who capture it from who.... (mostly to depict the destruction of systems whenever regions fall, obviously you can't just "repair" things like feudal fief setups.)

I have very little clue on scripting, looking through Ultimate Document 4.0 and asking around a little I THINK what i'm attempting should be something like...

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement FactionType lithuania
and SettlementBuildingExists = feudalism
destroy_buildings feudalism true

terminate_monitor
end_monitor

but it's not working which isn't surprising I guess, I'm not really sure what I should do though.... i'm faiiirly sure that this should be doable... but how?

It's more like:-

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement FactionType lithuania
and SettlementBuildingExists = hospital
destroy_buildings lithuania hospital true
end_monitor

Use terminate_monitor only when you want to fire the script once in game.
From EDB:-

building hospital
{
    levels bimaristan great_bimaristan 
.............

feudalism is the building I added to the edb that's not the real key obviously I know how to change that around

I talked to Rozonov and he stated that the destroy building script will destroy all the same type building in all settlements and not just one, is that confirmed ?

For example I have a feudalism building in 3 settlement and I capture a new settlement that also have the building, if I fire this script i'll end up destroying all 4 building and not just the one in the newly captured settlement?

I thought there use to be times when you capture settlements some buildings will be destroyed (or maybe i'm remembering the ole MTW and STW .... those certainly had that...)

Lol I know that feudalism is a building i should've highlighted the faction name in the destroy command as in the OP you are not using it. It's required otherwise the command won't work. And yeah this command will remove all buildings in a chain for the whole faction so not useful on what you are trying to achieve.
And such a command is used in the Teutonic campaign for destroying taverns for Teutonic faction since it was a religious order.

[RollingWave]

well it is still useful and it is what I want to achieve, what this means is that i'll basically have to make one of these building for one faction (a few might share one .. like the italian states).

[Ishan]

What you can do is say make these buildings restricted in certain settlements only. Then you can re-spawn them in other settlements via script.

[RollingWave]

nah.. i guess i'll just do something like...

For example I call all the buidling Feudalism_XXX (faction)

so Lithaunia is feudalism_lithuania

and the script will be

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement FactionType lithuania
and SettlementBuildingExists = feudalism_england
or SettlementBuildingExists = feudalism_scotland
or SettlementBuildingExists = feudalism_france
or SettlementBuildingExists = feudalism_hre

destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_england true
destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_scotland true
destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_france true
destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_hre true

end_monitor

and obviously make one for every faction.

I had wanted to eventually make one for each faction anyway, I guess this just force me to get to that sooner than i'd hoped

RollingWave: You don't really need to worry about testing for the building:

	monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement FactionType lithuania
		destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_england true
		destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_scotland true
		destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_france true
		destroy_buildings lithuania feudalism_hre true
	end_monitor

Or you could do something like this:

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType lithuania
		and FactionBuildingExists >= bimaristan
		destroy_buildings lithuania hospital true
	end_monitor

[RollingWave]

yeah.. but I want it to be destroyed on conquest...

heh, I tested it, for some reason if I go with capturesettlement it'll destroy the onces I have... except for the onces in the settlement I actually capture... woops, guess using FactionTurnStart is indeed a better idea

One thing to keep in mind when using the ‘destroy_buildings’ command is that it will destroy all buildings in that chain across the entire faction.
