making a army apper in strat map i turn and message appears

[Miguel_80]

Simply the tag of "subfaccion" in the "spawn army" of the "campaign_script" file, don't have any effect. Ignores it the label.

Sample:

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType slave
        and I_TurnNumber > 1

        spawn_army 
            faction slave, sub_faction france
            character    random_name, named character, age 26, x 174, y 105
            traits LoyaltyStarter 1 , NaturalMilitarySkill 1, GoodCommander 2
            unit        NE Bodyguard        exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mailed Knights        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mailed Knights        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Sergeant Spearmen        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Sergeant Spearmen        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Sergeant Spearmen        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Peasant Crossbowmen        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Peasant Crossbowmen        exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
        end

        terminate_monitor
    end_monitor

I can only confirm: the subfaction tag is not used with regular spawns (never seen it) and it gets ignored as well with regular factions: I used my script from post #11 and replaced slave with France - the result were 8 French armies with the default French strat model.

I'm more looking at the name issue. In post #11, as you said you replaced slave with france and got 8 french armies, but if you replaced slave with france and used a subfaction only name (i.e. for the second army is you assigned a specific england only name) as opposed to random_name what is the result?

Example of what I mean:

;; Campaign script
;
script

    restrict_strat_radar false

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal

        ; Vilnius - owner Russia, loyal Russia

        spawn_army
            faction france, sub_faction england
            character    england_only_name, named character, age 38, x 198, y 162
            unit    Billmen        exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
        end

        terminate_monitor
    end_monitor

    ; keep script unfinished until last monitor termination
    wait_monitors

end_script

What happens with the name?

Other sample:

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType slave
		and I_TurnNumber = 1

		spawn_army 
			faction slave, sub_faction egypt
			character	random_name, named character, age 36, x 67, y 103, direction E
			unit		Arab Cavalry		exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
			unit		Arab Cavalry		exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
			unit		Arab Cavalry		exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
			unit		Arab Cavalry			exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
			unit		Arab Cavalry			exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
			unit		Arab Cavalry		exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
		end

		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

I created a unique name for england in descr_names and text\names and used that:

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal

        spawn_army
            faction slave, sub_faction england
            character    Gigantus, named character, age 38, x 207, y 178
            unit    Billmen            exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
        end

        terminate_monitor
    end_monitor

Didn't display - not even an empty color bar where the name would be. Made an overlay from first selecting the faction character and then the slave character.




Gave the name to the French leader - no display.
Used the following (descr_strat) slave faction entry and got the name displayed (see pic below):

character    sub_faction england, Gigantus, general, male, age 26, x 209, y 178 
army
unit        Spear Militia                exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Spear Militia                exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Crossbowmen                exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Crossbowmen                exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

Changed the sub faction entry to france and again no name display.





Added the name to the slave faction and still no display for the captain, named character displayed correctly - used 'display names' for pic.






Summary of slave name use (else no display):
script - from slave faction's list
descr-strat - from sub faction's list

not even an empty color bar where the name would be.

Good to know. Sometimes I spawn invisible temporary characters but the name (if they're toggled on) is a bad look, even if it's just ".".

[Gigantus]

I just had a closer look - there is a small color bar visible, just couldn't see it properly because it is grey\semi-transparent.

[Miguel_80]

In short, if I want appears a rebel army of Arab culture, I have to add a new trait level for general strat_model, battle model and portrait...

[Gigantus]

Yup, spawned rebels are default everything: culture, battle model, strat model.
