Some modest results with spawn_army

Will someone be making a small tutorial on how this is done. ie. which files to put the script into. Kinda new to this. Thnx

This seems to work with "named character" too.

JEROME YOU ARE THE MAN!
/me throws away months of trial and error

BTW, I have used call_object_shortcut before and it works fine

I've incorporated it into my Beginner guide to scripting:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=46738

Read the first post through fully, that'll tell you how to set up a script, then you can read the specific entry for spawn_army at the top of the second page.

(And if someone with a working copy of RTW wouldn't mind checking my syntax is correct before I look stupid I'd appreciate it :beam: )

A suitor scorned becomes a rebel... sounds about right to me. I tend to get fighting mad when I can't get the lady I'm after, too... LOL

If anyone gets any CTDs with this and can't figure why, this might be an explanation:
The name of the character must be included in descr_names.txt for the specified faction.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

I' m sure someone got this to work in RTW awhile ago on the twcenter site.

Hi rorarii,

Do you mean this?

Code:

---

script
declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 0

monitor_event FactionTurnStart empire_east
            and I_TurnNumber = 1

if I_SettlementOwner Alexandria = empire_east
provoke_rebellion Alexandria
end_if
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

while I_CompareCounter loop = 0
end_while
end_script

From here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...voke_rebellion

I'm going this now....

Cheers

Hmm, that code doesn't seem to work or variations of it, at least not in B.I :wall:

Anyone had success with provoke_rebellion in B.I ? - Personally i don't think it works...:furious3:

any way of applying a date onto the end of spawn_army maybe making for example:

spawn_army summer_184BC
etc...

This would be way better than clicking to activate a new script every time.

No.

But you can do what you want by running a background script which executes a spawn on the desired turn.

has anyone been able to spawn an actual family member who gets a place on the family tree? so far, all i've been able to spawn are generals.
