Trigger identifier for recruitable generals

[Haleth]

Hello all,

I have added the recruitable general i.e. being able to build a generals bodyguard. However when trying to give them traits when spawing, I've been unable to find any useful trigger identifiers. The CharacterComesOfAge, OfferedForMarriage or OfferedForAdoption doesn't seem to apply for them, with reason... I'm not sure what the LesserGeneralOfferdForAdoption does, but the one trigger I made wasn't working. Could that be the Man of the Hour identifier? Anybody any thoughts on what identifiers might work?

Cheers, Haleth

Hello,

try it with some logic:

For example:
Trigger newGeneral
WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

Condition Trait IAmGeneral = 0 ; Each general will have this Trait, if not he is freshly recruited

Affects IAmGeneral 1 Chance 100 ;Now he is a general so next time the trait is not 0
Affects xyTrait 1 Chance 55
...


cheers

Hey, thanks for your reply. However, I'm afraid I don't really understand. My question is not to find the newly recruited generals, but to find the right 'identifier'. I use this term because I saw it in a tutorial topic. To make sure we are talking about the same thing: I'm interested in the proper red line in the quote.

Trigger Worthy_Of_Marriage_loyalty_2
WhenToTest OfferedForMarriage

Condition Trait Loyal >= 1

Affects Loyal 1 Chance 50

Oh sorry,

There is no such one. (not know to me and never saw it, nor in the docudemons_events.txt) Thats why I offered the solution.

Hm:
Identifier: AgentCreated
Event: An agent has been trained
Exports: character_record, character_type, settlement, faction
Class: ET_AGENT_CREATED
Author: Lee

Identifier: AgentType
Trigger requirements: character_record
Parameters: character type (spy, assassin, diplomat, admiral, general, named character, family)
Sample use: AgentType = diplomat
Description: Test to see if a character is of a particular type (spy, admiral, named character &c.)
Battle or Strat: Strat
Class: CHARACTER_TYPE_TEST
Implemented: Yes
Author: Lee

Trigger Worthy_Of_Marriage_loyalty_2
    WhenToTest AgentCreated

    Condition AgentType = general

    Affects Loyal  1  Chance  50

Do not think it will work, but worth trying it.
If it does not do first time try to replace general with named character.
Or general is normaly used for captains. So try first with named character.
family is normaly for family members.

Other way to do it would be as follows, have two traits IsFamily and IsGeneral that have triggers as follows:

Trigger FamilyTrigger
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

Effect IsFamily 1 Chance 100

and

Trigger GeneralTrigger
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
Condition Trait IsFamily = 0

Effect IsGeneral 1 Chance 100

Hmm, interesting idea. I'll work with that and see if it does the trick!

and what about... governor if recruit in a city ,general if recruited on a castle

and what about... governor if recruit in a city ,general if recruited on a castle

That's an artificial distinction that doesn't exist in the game. A character is either a general or a family member (or a captain if there are no general units in the army), whether a character is a governor of a city/castle has only to do with their stats and not any other factor.

i know but... the traits to be a decent field general or to be a decent governor are not the same

like in bgr for ss...governor inclination/ military inclination

Silly question: a recruited body guard (general) is a normal unit, why would you be able to attribute traits (or ancillaries) to it? Or is a recruited body guard unit automatically a named_character?

If you recruit a 'bodyguard' unit the game will automatically link a general (named_character) to that unit just like a 'bodyguard' unit created when a general spawns (such as marrying your princess to an acceptable suitor or an adoption.) Additionally such generals use the min_adoption_age unit max_adoption_age unit as per descr_campaign_db as well as the 'starter' traits as WhenToTest OfferedForAdoption in export_descr_character_traits
