[.Lua] Add treasury or researched tech?

[SkullXT]

Hello, I wondered if anyone could tell me how I could add treasury to a faction using a lua script, or add researched technologies.

I know of the scripting.game_interface:treasury_mod("fac_name", 10000); thingy but I can't seem to get it to work. Please help!

Thanks.

Where are you using the function?

What are you using as the faction name?

I've put my custom .lua file in the lua_scripts directory, and I've used the names that's in the factions table. att_fact_gauti, att_fact_juti etc.

Well you're using the function correctly, just not in the right place.

I'd suggest that if it's just a small personal mod you edit the factions scripting of the main_attila campaign, put the function within either the "start_game_for_faction" function or the "faction_new_sp_game_startup" function, depending on if you want the function called once at the start of the campaign or on every time it loads.

You can find these here:
data.pack/campaigns/main_attila/factions/whateverfaction.lua

However you'll have to use the function like this:
cm:treasury_mod("fac_name", 10000);
Due to the way these files work.

I see, thanks man! Also, do you know if there is any way to limit a table to a specific faction?

Example: I edit building_levels, but I only want the Jutes to be affected by the changes, or the player faction and not the AI.

And I saw in your Lua Game Functions thread the function "unlock_technology". Do you know if this could be used to let a faction start with finished technologies? Because as the way is now, I have to edit it in the startpos.esf file, and add every single of the 40-60 technologies if I want them to be researched at new campaign.

Thanks!

Unfortunately both of what you want is impossible.

You can't limit a table to a certain faction, you'd just have to make the changes specific to only that factions buildings, and if they don't have any buildings that aren't shared you'd have to make them.

The unlock_technology function only allows you to unlock techs that are locked with the lock_technology function.
