Help with TATW modding

[orclover5]

I want to set_building_health in Annuminus and Arthedain to 10% so I can basically turn these settlements into ruins and then rebuild them... here is my script... it doesn't work, either through console or script. Do any experts have advice?



monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType turks
console_command set_building_health lake_evendim core_building 10
console_command set_building_health lake_evendim barracks 10
console_command set_building_health lake_evendim city_hall 10
console_command set_building_health lake_evendim market 10
console_command set_building_health lake_evendim hinterland_roads 10
terminate_monitor

What means "nd" on the last line? I wish this should be end_monitor? Can you please send your system.log file here as attachment?

nd is just a mistake from the copy paste from the CS....the formatting got messed up in the post. Here are the parts of my log that have to do with the CS......

Thanks for your help... I am including this here because I would like to create a release that turns all bandit regions in ruins that need to be rebuilt...

It's Lake_Evendim, not lake_evendim, right?

In the future, I would post all modding questions in this thread:

If you are modding MOS or DAC, be sure to edit files with Notepad++, not with Notepad or some other text editor.

Just to point it out, while buildings could be destroyed and population killed, the size of the settlement can not be altered so if it was a large town when it turned rebel it can't be made into a village - IIRC.

That's correct: settlements can't be downgraded.

Also beware of using set_building_health on buildings that do not exist in the settlement. The monitor that is attempting to do so will crash; anything in that monitor below that line will not execute and, I believe, the monitor will not fire again in this campaign.

If you really want rebuilt and not just repaired then you could use the destroy_buildings command instead. Bear in mind that it will destroy those building trees in all settlements of the faction in question (i.e. slave).

thanks for the help, I got it to work with every building just haven't tested if the damage shows on the battle map as if it is a ruin.

I really just wanted an immersion experience where maybe fornost would get sieged by Gundabad early in game and the castle would have ruined walls and other buildings visually damaged... I found I can't let rebels take it as they repair immediately... I may try to handicap their "economy"....also I am going to make building MUCH more expensive as it should be.... so this should make it at least a challenge to repair these huge decrepit cities and castles...
