handover

[tamabald]

can anyone please explain what do 6 and 15 stand for, or in other worth, how do these two parameters define the handover:

scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 6, 15, context)

tried different numbers but got some weird results.

isnt it variation in turns before handover happens? 6-15 turns after start..

That was my first guess, but putting 2,2, instead of 6,15, triggered the handover in turn 4...

here's a few more examples:

2,2, handover in turn 4
3,4 handover in turn 6
4,6 handover in turn 6

(Had more examples written down but can't find them right now... )

This doesn't make any sense to me

Anyone, please? Some help would be appreciated.

They're documented as the first and last possible turns for the handovers. If you are loading up a game with an edited scripting.lua you might get weird results; it's possible the values would become relevant to when the script was first implemented, rather than turn 0.

I wasn't loading games, I always tested by starting a new campaign (that's why I was playing with smaller numbers, so I wouldnt have to wait too long).
But this answer of yours pointed me to something interesting. If I assume that the game doesn't start counting till turn 2 then:

0=2

2,2, = 4,4, --- handover in turn 4
3,4 = 5,6 ----- handover in turn 6
4,6 = 6,8, ----- handover in turn 6

this makes sense. Buty why always counting from turn 2? Damned if I knew.

This is how my OnFactionTurnStart in scripting.lua looks like (and this is the only thing in the file that I changed)

local function OnFactionTurnStart(context)
if conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 5 then
scripting.game_interface:enable_auto_generated_missions(true)
end
if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 2, 2, context)
end
if conditions.FactionName("spain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("spain", "new_spain", 2, 2, context)
end
end
