[scripting] The "does this code work" - Thread

[Litharion]

It is a guessing game. With the parameters you use the game will likely crash. I couldn't find to right parameters for the function yet.

[Mitch_CA]

create_agent("faction_key", "agent_key", x_position, y_position, "id", true)

First parameter is the faction key, second the agent key, third and fourth the X/Y coordinates, fourth is a string identifier likely useless to you, last parameter sets whether the command happens immediately (false) or at the next best moment (true, should always be true for modders).

[Litharion]

Thank you for dropping by.

So the region was not needed, actually haven't tried it without the region name...

[Fridericus Secundus]

Thank you Mitch. I tried this in order to get a spy in sicily for debugging reasons (see what Syracuse AI will do an which units they recruit):

local function CreateDebugSpy(context)
local current_faction = context.string;
    if context:faction():is_human() == true 
    and conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 2 then
    scripting.game_interface:create_agent(current_faction,"dignitary",295,574,"001S",true);
    end
end
scripting.AddEventCallBack("OnFactionTurnStart", CreateDebugSpy);

However, it doesn't work. Note that I used a dignitary instead of a spy to exclude agent limit as a possible bug.

[Litharion]

conditions.TurnNumber(context) ? Don't think this works.

[Fridericus Secundus]

Well, I took it from the CiG scripts, where something similar is actually working:

if conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 1 and not CampaignUI.IsMultiplayer() and conditions.FactionIsLocal(context) then

I hope people are still around who are able to help. I have pored over and over this code. I am not sure the code is the problem so I am going to attach the whole mod in case I have missed something in the db tables.

This is a really simple supply script. But basically nothing happens. Originally I had the code as a separate file but in desperation I have now tried adding it to the end of the campaign script

Here is the code:

-- KANKRUSHA'S SIMPLIFIED SUPPLY SCRIPT


-- There are 4 levels of supply from very good which grants benefits to very poor which inflicts penalties
-- Moving will lower supply.
-- Keeping stationary while in your own region will improve supply


-- Make the script a module one
-- module(..., package.seeall);                     -- commented out now




-- load libraries
scripting = require "lua_scripts.EpisodicScripting"
events = require "data.lua_scripts.events"
require "data.lua_scripts.lib_export_triggers"




local function kk_supply_script(context)


    if not char_is_general_with_army(context:character()) then
        return false
    end


    -- Remove all previous effects
    scripting.game_interface:remove_effect_bundle_from_characters_force("rom_supply_1", context:character():cqi())
    scripting.game_interface:remove_effect_bundle_from_characters_force("rom_supply_2", context:character():cqi())
    scripting.game_interface:remove_effect_bundle_from_characters_force("rom_supply_3", ccontext:character():cqi())
    scripting.game_interface:remove_effect_bundle_from_characters_force("rom_supply_4", context:character():cqi())




    -- Siege has its own system so don't want that here
    if character:has_garrison_residence() and character:garrison_residence():is_under_siege() then
        return
    end


    -- Increase supply if stationary
    if context:character():action_points_remaining_percent() >= 90 then
            if context:character():turns_in_own_regions() >= 2 then
                scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_4", context:character():cqi(),-1)
            elseif context:character():turns_in_own_regions() >= 1 then
                scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_3", context:character():cqi(),-1)
            elseif  context:character():turns_in_enemy_regions() >= 5 then


                -- Supply always poor if in enemy territory too long
                scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_1", context:character():cqi(),-1)
            else scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_2", context:character():cqi(),-1)
            end
    end


    -- Decrease supply if moved this turn
    if context:character():action_points_remaining_percent() < 90 then
        if context:character():turns_in_enemy_regions() >= 2 then
            scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_1", context:character():cqi(),-1)
        elseif  context:character():turns_in_enemy_regions() >= 1 then
            scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_2", context:character():cqi(),-1)
        else scripting.game_interface:apply_effect_bundle_to_characters_force("rom_supply_3", context:character():cqi(),-1)
        end
    end


    return true


end


scripting.AddEventCallBack("CharacterTurnEnd",  kk_supply_script)

EncylopediaEntryRequested, CharacterSelected and others events does not work

[seregavlg]

Hi All!, please help me with this script:

function OnLEFUI(context)
if context:faction():name() == "rom_roxolani" and context:faction():is_human() == false then
scripting.game_interface:create_force("rom_roxolani", "Ste_Royal_Horse_Archers", "rom_scythia_scythia",510,430, "patrol1", true)
end;
end;

scripting.AddEventCallBack("SavingGame", OnLEFUI);

--more saves - more troops to AI

[Col.KanKrusha]

Hi

In the "context" of saving a game I think you would have to first identify the player

player_faction = GetPlayerFaction();

if player_faction ==

[seregavlg]

local function OnSavingGame(context)
scripting.game_interface:create_force("rom_roxolani", "Ste_Royal_Horse_Archers", "rom_scythia_scythia",510,430, "patrol1", true)
end;

this code create army ? but then appear window about violation of boarders and UI freeze. How to fix it?

[Col.KanKrusha]

Where did you get the co-ordinates? Are they correct?

also I would Add a check that the faction still exists

I am worried this is going to run at the end of every turn with autosave

[seregavlg]

Ok, I want spawn AI forces with events, but not with "FactionTurnStart". I try "SettlementSelected" but that no work. Coordinates is correct.

[Col.KanKrusha]

How about when settlement attackied? If you have Caesar in Gaul DLC there is a function In the campaign script that you could copy to main campaign

or whenever the human player spawns a new general (oncharactercreated) then you could have AI spawn one to match

[seregavlg]

onCharacterCreated work, thanks. How i can get cursor or settlement coordinates?

[seregavlg]

ok, all done

[Col.KanKrusha]

Well done. You should feel a sense of achievement, my own script which looks perfect to me is still dead in the water.

[seregavlg]

hmmm, someone else working command - create_agent?
I used this func, but not worked.
local function OnGenerateSpy(context)
if not CampaignUI.IsMultiplayer() then
scripting.game_interface:create_agent("rom_roxolani","spy",750,530,"dbspy",true)
end
end

[seregavlg]

and how i can get a settlement name from function context?

[Col.KanKrusha]

Have a look at page 1 of this thread

I think this will work (but haven't looked through code to check)

if context:region():name()== "rom_rome"
(from wrath of Sparta script)

there is is also a region_in_region_list function. Take this. It's dangerous to go alone
