Destroying buildings - scripting question?

Is there any way to force the AI/player, or force the system, to destroy any buildings of a given complex or group of complexes in a given province when that province is taken over?

Alternatively, is there any way to make the building of a building from a particular complex destroy any buildings that exist from another particular complex or group of complexes?

I believe ER was working on something like that... What r u up to K? I'm trying to find the connection between ur questions...

:grin:

Our system of governing conquered provinces - in order to have the AI use it correctly, we have to have some way of removing the old government when the province is taken over.

I first tried the potential destroy_building command using the same parameters as the create_building but with no success.

I then tried the same approach as Myrddraal used in his campaign script for the multiple turns - simulating button clicks but there you need to know what the UI element is called. So I'm now looking for the alleged available_ui_elements.txt that may or may not have come with the demo.

But all this, of course, is reliant on the player clicking a showme button which when the trigger is something that's activated by something in the AI's turn brings its own problems.

Unless you incorperate it into one script that runs in the background. A scirpt that checks if the building exists and if so destroys it. I'm not sure if this is possible, but it might be...

Another question like this: Is it possible to script building construction, and make a city build a building as soon as it's captured? Maybe something to put a building in the building queue directly after the city is captured? I've just read something about create_building, what does this do?

create building makes the building appear immidiately, not put it on the building queue.

You could do this by simulating the mouse clicks again.

@ Myrddraal
Yes, of course, my head was just in completely the wrong place.

So, just to spout code randomly:

Code:

---


        declare_counter TarquiniiCaptured

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement FactionType romans_julii
                and SettlementName Tarquinii

                set_counter TarquiniiCaptured 1
                inc_counter citiescaptured 1

                terminate_monitor
        end_monitor

        monitor_conditions I_CompareCounter TarquiniiCaptured = 1

console_command destroy_building milita_barracks ; if such a command exists
;don't know if you could destroy AI buildings by mouse clicks

        end_monitor
