Question about Garrison Script

**pilatus** · August 15, 2011, 02:49 PM

i've done a garrison script for all important and capital citys for factions and important free civ citys in rsII 2.1
but it ctd in campaign when the egypt besieges petra and there are already too many units >20 placed in the city

is there a command which can provide that the ai places too many units or something else??

this is the code for the petra garrison script against egypt

HTML Code:

monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementName Petra
   and not SettlementIsLocal
   and I_CharacterTypeNearTile egypt general, 2 339, 48
      if I_SettlementOwner Petra = slave
      and I_FactionBesieged slave
         console_command create_unit Petra "nabatean horse archer" 1 2 1 1
         console_command create_unit Petra "thorakitai arabes" 2 2 0 0
         console_command create_unit Petra "nabatean archer" 1 2 1 0
         console_command create_unit Petra "eastern skirmisher" 2 2 1 1
       end_if
end_monitor
monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementName Petra
   and not SettlementIsLocal
   and I_CharacterTypeNearTile egypt family, 2 339, 48
      if I_SettlementOwner Petra = slave
      and I_FactionBesieged slave
         console_command create_unit Petra "nabatean horse archer" 1 2 1 1
         console_command create_unit Petra "thorakitai arabes" 2 2 0 0
         console_command create_unit Petra "nabatean archer" 1 2 1 0
         console_command create_unit Petra "eastern skirmisher" 2 2 1 1
       end_if
end_monitor

thank you in advance!

Take your problem to the mod workshop im sure they can sort you out there...

**pilatus** · August 16, 2011, 04:17 AM

@Nakharar: can i port the thread by myself tp the mod workshop ??

just one additional question:
i guess the placement outside the city will solve the problem
BUT what will happen if there is already a army on the place i want to spawn the army ? ctd?

HTML Code:

It will be spawned over the other, like the army already there is under a trapdoor and your new army stays on it - it can´t do anything, and can´t be attacked, either. But no ctd.

Change to:

Code:

         character Nidintu-Bel, general, age 32, , x 365, y 89

At least I think it will work then.

I've moved the thread from the RSII forum to the Rome Workshop 'text editing and scripting' sub-fourm.

You can access the new army from the armies scroll, even if it spawns on top of another army.

Yes, but can it actually do anything?

**pilatus** · August 17, 2011, 03:02 AM

Thank you all!

This means that if the ai army (x faction) besieges a city and there will be a spawned ai army (y faction) on the same place and there will be no ctd ?? what happens with the army (faction x) ? The new spawned army (y faction) can attack the other without problems?

Change to:

Code:
character Nidintu-Bel, general, age 32, , x 365, y 89

Are you sure? i have to test but i think it works with one semicolon, too...

I tested it and House of Ham was right - the player can access the army, and it works like normal, and can even attack the other one. For the ai there is absolutely no difference.

Its not about the second comma (not semicolon), it is about the Space between them. It is always made that way, even in descr_strat. No one really knows why it is there - but I guess it is the rest of the non-implented feature supply.

**pilatus** · August 19, 2011, 04:45 AM

I recently read in the scripting tutorial forum that if i want to spawn an army for the slave faction it will ctd ... ??

Will that mean that my script will not work..because i want to "spawn" armys for slave faction owned cities... i tested it with the "console_command create_unit" and it worked...

I´m not sure what you have read but this is not true. I´ve successfully spawned Spartacus for slaves once, and there was no ctd.

**HouseOfHam** · August 16, 2011, 01:40 PM

yes

**Squid** · August 19, 2011, 10:40 AM

Have you run your script through my script editor, see the link in my sig?

**Spartan 666** · August 28, 2011, 03:19 AM

One question: aren't the two conditions

if I_SettlementOwner Palmyra = slave
and I_FactionBesieged slave

the same thing? I mean, it says the same thing twice, of course the faction besieged is the same as the owner!

Not necessarily, in fact those conditions don't mean that Palmyra is slave owned and besiged. As long as any slave owned settlement is besiged the second condition will be true, even if it isn't Palmyra.
