Spawning armies

[Tyranno85]

So I made a script to spawn in armies so the Ai would have an easier time to garrison their settlements without losing them.

            end

Is the script I created. Don't mind the general since it's a copy-paste from the Mongols just to test if it works, which it doesn't and this is what the system.log has to say about it;

18:27:51.146 [game.script] [error] Script parsing error at line 712, column 17 in mods/calradia/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt
don't recognise this token: faction
18:27:51.146 [game.script] [error] Script parsing error at line 715, column 17 in mods/calradia/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt
Couldn't create a script from file mods/calradia/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt

Which puts me at a loss since in all the spawn scripts I've taken a look at, there usually is faction *factionname* before you put down the rest. Yet for some reason the game doesn't seem to recognise faction before factionname....

For comparison, here's a part from the Mongol invasion script;

        spawn_army 
            faction mongols
            character    Jebe, named character, age 30, x 292, y 166, family    ;command 8, dread 9, loyalty 7, piety 1

            unit        Mongol Foot Archers        exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Foot Archers        exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Archers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Archers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Archers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Archers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Archers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Lancers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Lancers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Lancers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Lancers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
            unit        Mongol Heavy Lancers    exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

which clearly shows that the same aspects are in the script I created and those that are present in the Mongol script...

Anyone with a clue on what is going on here, or rather, isn't going on?

[makanyane]

what are you editing the file with?

I'd suggest if you're not using it maybe trying notepad++ and checking to see if you've got anything odd going on with line breaks or tabs etc. (that should show the additional characters in the text file)

[Gigantus]

Agree with Mak - compress and attach your script for a format check.

[QuintusSertorius]

You do realise that script will spam units every single turn, right?

[Tyranno85]

@makanyane I'm already using Notepad++

@Gigantus The file added is the script as I've created it, before I tried my hand at fixing it. It's just this script.

@QuintusSertorius I am aware that this is currently an issue that needs to be addressed. Yet before I can address that issue of the armies spawning each turn, I do need the armies to spawn the first turn. Then I can turn my attention on making them spawn only once and also to make 'm spawn more dependant on the difficulty the player has chosen.

[Tyranno85]

I just make this new post since the forum seems to be on an infinite loading loop when I want to edit.

Here's the full campaign_script currently being used in testing.

[makanyane]

I haven't looked deeply into the line 712 issue but a couple of things jump out about that whole script

the campaign_script.txt should have the first uncomented line
script
and the last line
end_script

each spawn_army section should have an
end
after the army list and before you get to the next spawn_army

everywhere you have an 'if' you need an
end_if
at the end of it, in your case the not I_LocalFaction france section needs an
end_if
before you get to the if not I_LocalFaction milan etc

try fixing those bits and see what happens and report back please

[Tyranno85]

Ok, I've ammended some things;

looks better - what happens now when you run it?

[Tyranno85]

Nothing happened when I gave it a test run and the system.log comes with the following;

So, I've spotted the lines and they're currently as follows

    end_monitor
end_script

I assume I can get rid of the end_monitor and that should then....Hopefully, run the script.

Nope, now it says it doesn't recognize the end_script command?

[makanyane]

erm, I think you might have something 'open' further up that shouldn't be, so it thinks those things are part of the conditions for something and therefore not recognising them

can you post the whole script again as it now is please?

[Tyranno85]

Here is the campaign_script with the additions I made with your additions to it.

[makanyane]

script and end_script are meant to be 'bookends' to the whole script - you had a spare end_script in the middle and script was just before your new section - it should have been right at the beginning - you were also missing an end_if on your last if.
& I think the add_money command should also actually be console_command add_money

I've made those changes and it now loads in Geomod without error message - can't tell if it fires or not, but try this;campaign_script.rar

[Tyranno85]

Skimming through the system.log I can't find any error messages but...there are no extra armies on the campaign map. So the script runs, they just don't spawn on the map?

[QuintusSertorius]

Just out of interest, if you're concerned with garrisons, why are you spawning armies nearby, rather than using console_command create_unit to put units directly into the garrisons?

[Tyranno85]

Because its easier to give a few armies to the AI which it can then garrison as it sees fit instead of having to find the coordinates to all settlements and giving them units like that.

Firstly, chances are high the AI won't use them for garrisons at all. Secondly, you don't need co-ordinates for settlements to spawn units there directly, just the settlement name.

This is a garrison script which has one set of loops like the above for each settlement concerned, all in one monitor (so negligible performance impact).

[Tyranno85]

Considering the current behaviour of the AI; withdrawing troops from garrisoned cities and moving them into settlements that aren't garrisoned, I can tell with certainty that if the AI gets a few armies dotted around their territory they will be continueing that behaviour till they are in a sufficient position to expand.

The amount of villages would make even a garrison script like yours an extreme pain to set up due to the amount of them on the map.

[Tyranno85]

So...I had a bit of a think. I've got 4Zumi's debt script and he uses a different method of signaling the AI factions. Instead of the if not I_LocalFaction he uses the IsFactionAIControlled.

With that, I've amended the script to the following. I can't test it now since I'm editing the script on a tablet that can't run Medieval 2 but is perfect for text editing. It is build further on the edits made by Makanye. I'm wondering if there are any edits that have to be further made or if this should run without issue.

That will spawn a load of units every single turn. Do you not want any element of randomness, or a timer that stops it happening every turn?
