Looking for a battle script

[Dekhatres]

that can lock control over units charging, once i set a unit to attack and it starts charging i dont have control over that unit until it finished charging and a few seconds passed

basically the exact same thing as G5 AI's hardcore version but without that annoying bug that makes general bodyguard forever stuck

but it doesnt have to be exactly same, i am looking for any script/mod that makes battles significantly harder by putting restrictions like that

I don't think one like that exists, but it is not that hard to create.

You just need to label all the units (no fatal error if one does not exist), for each army. And then after that you need to check for their state (charging).

Then you remove player control for a set period of time. EG wait 5 or 10 seconds etc.

[Dekhatres]

not that hard

G5's script has 8600 lines

Here's the entirety of the EBII battle scripts. About 600~ lines, most of them unrelated to what you want to do.

Labels are there however, if you need direction about how to start that.

I use berserker ability for mounted units for that purpose.

[bitterhowl]

Also heard about feature from EBII about orders delaying in battle. Asked their team but no clear answer granted.

[z3n]

What was the question? I wrote it so I should be able to answer.


There is no delay script written into the EBII one, unless someone added it while I didnt pay attention, if you want to add one I dont think it is very hard though.

[bitterhowl]

It was about .xml not campaign_script. I'll find the link to that thread.

[bitterhowl]

Here we got my question and an answer below
https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...1#post15740502

[Dekhatres]

so what are those .xml parameters ? did u get an answer to that yet ?

[bitterhowl]

Nope, good sir. That's why I wrote it here wondering for solution.

[z3n]

That delay is from the descr_pathfinding file. It is necessary to delete the corresponding descr_pathfinding_db file to regenerate it (or possibly change the version number, my memory is foggy on that)

[bitterhowl]

Many thanks! Can you say which parameter in pathfinding answers for that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but replacing the whole file will cause changes in Skynet?

[z3n]

It's been a long time since I messed around with the values but from what I remember you'll want to adjust the budget parameter of the scheduler, and also try out different values for the paths and nodes.

[Dekhatres]

Here's the entirety of the EBII battle scripts. About 600~ lines, most of them unrelated to what you want to do.

Labels are there however, if you need direction about how to start that.

can you give me any further direction ?

cause i am sitting here looking back and forth between that code you posted and g5's script trying to figure out how to do it but still no idea how exactly, it doesnt help that g5's script has a bunch of other things like limited deployment time stuffed up in there making the whole thing even more confusing

"and I_UnitStatus a1u1 charging" so this must be for checking unit status as you said

Identifier: release_unit
Parameters: unit_label
Description: Unlabels the specified unit and releases it back to player or AI control
Sample use: release_unit
Class: RELEASE_UNIT

so this is what that labeling is for i guess, taking or giving control of a unit

then the timer, "battle_wait 15" i suppose

but how do i put together all this stuff to create an actual working script ?

can you give me an example for 1 unit ?

[z3n]

I haven't touched battle scripts in over 3 years so take from this what you will, here is what you need to do conceptually

1) Assign unit labels
2) Check unit state using the label (charging)
3) Give unit from player to AI control
4) Release unit back to the player after some time (use battle_wait and then add the "release_unit" after)

I don't remember what the command is to swap the unit from player to AI sadly... Even though I've done it in the past.

the problem i am having is how to actually script it, been looking at some tutorials but havent learnt anything useful for what i am trying to do, those tutorials only teach basic scripts

do you know any tutorials who might help ?

[Erken]

If you want make the player lose the control of an unit, the command is "filter_unit_commands on/off [unit label]".

[bitterhowl]

Yes, release_unit will unlabel it and finish entire script. For re-use this feature in same battle don't use release_unit.
