Script based on buildings constructed

**Polycarpe** · February 03, 2012, 08:40 AM

Hi I was wondering if it was possible to do this

It is possible to have a script that if I build a building,the event is triggered let's say like this:

"and event_counter barrack_constructed 1"

This is for recruiting units as well certain building attributes in that specific settlement. I hope it's possible but I'm afraid it will be linked to each settlement, making the script kinda large.

Regards.

monitor_event BuildingCompleted FactionIsLocal (or whatever)
and SettlementBuildingFinished = blahblah

set_event_counter blahblah_completed 1
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

Should work.

Not sure what you mean here

Got something planned, that with technologies ("building"), once it's built in that settlement, the script will trigger and then the unit or building attribute (public health) will be gained.

Hmm, I'm not sure that's going to be possible. Event counters won't work on a per settlement basis. Good luck finding a way

Ahh... I somehow thought this'd be enough for you. It's still scriptable though, I wouldn't worry about resources.

I'd need to run some tests to see how it works, unfortunately I don't have much spare time atm.

Why don´t you just add the public health attribut just to the building that triggers the trigger ?! ( in EDB )

Or add the public health stuff to a building that has to exist ( like the settlements wall ) and add to its capability "public_health_bonus 1 and event_counter barrack_constructed 1"
public_health_bonus is misspelled for sure... but the rest should work I bet...

Or if you want to have it for every single settlement...

set_event_counter blahblah_completed 1
and SettlementName = Settlement1
set_counter settlement1counter 1
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

You can create an indestructible building for every settlement ( which will be constructed via desc_strat ) and give it the desired attribute like

for settlement1
"public_health_bonus 1 and event_counter settlement1counter 1"

for settlement2
"public_health_bonus 1 and event_counter settlement2counter 1"

and so on...

I'd go for pre-placed buildings, it's the easiest way of implementing it. My initial idea was more complicated than required, but would possibly enable doing it all via already existing buildings.

So tweaked version of Lazy's proposal would be:

Code:

monitor_event BuildingCompleted SettlementName = London
and SettlementBuildingFinished = Dungeon

generate_random_counter my_random_counter 1 2

    if I_EventCounter my_random_counter = 1
    set_event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 1
    end_if
    if I_EventCounter g5_random_counter = 2
    set_event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 2
    end_if
terminate_monitor
end_monitor 

London_Dungeon (whatever):
public_health_bonus 1 and event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 1
recruit_pool "Women-At-Arms"  1   0.085   1  0  requires factions {..........., } and event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 2

If you want it to circle bonuses every turn, then you need:
monitor_event BuildingCompleted SettlementName = London
and SettlementBuildingFinished = Dungeon

set_event_counter London_Dungeon_calc 1

terminate_monitor
end_monitor

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart (or FactionTurnEnd) FactionIsLocal
    generate_random_counter my_random_counter 1 2

    if I_EventCounter London_Dungeon_calc = 1
     if I_EventCounter my_random_counter = 1
     set_event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 1
     end_if
     if I_EventCounter g5_random_counter = 2
     set_event_counter London_Dungeon_bonus 2
     end_if
    end_if
end_monitor

Very interesting, will take that into account as well, will see what the best combination I could do.

How would I go about making armourers required to recruit certain units? Do I just need to add under the proper barracks in the EDB

and building_exists armourer

or should it be

and event_counter armourer exists

?

**Germanicu5** · February 08, 2012, 04:00 AM

Code:

        recruit_pool "Lithuanian Archers"  1   0.17   2  0  requires factions { ..., } and building_present_min_level tree_name specific_building

Should work.

I hear it only works with the castle armourer.

Ok, thanks, Germanicu5. I took a look at the EDB and saw the line you gave. Doh!

That's not good, since in TLK there are only cities. I will try it and report back.

I made a building a prerequisite for a few units in the EDB and my saved game loaded but crashed soon after. I tried to start a new campaign and the game crashed. So it looks like buildings can't be prerequisites for recruitment (at least not in cities).
