Making farms destructible

[GaiusJulius]

@ scott2978: No problem, I'm just glad you got it working! It can be very frustrating.

[ThePianist]

So how do I make the palace building destructible? Or any other undestructible building? I am playing this mod where there is this one custom-made religious building that is not destructible and it's messing up the population contentment. So what are the tags that makes a building undestructible? (it's not a farm nor a palace nor a road)

[Aradan]

The "core" buildings cannot become destructible. The rest can, by removing the "hinterland_" prefix the trees have in their entry's name in export_descr_buildings.txt. (You will then need to edit any other references to those building trees in other files)

Mods however might be using indestructible buildings as markers or to block a specific type of crash, so you should probably not change it.

Thanks to your help, I found the building:
The lines of code in export_descr_buildings is here. It looks like a lot, but only a few lines are relevant:

building hinterland_unique2
{
levels unique_base_2 villa_jovis muro_pianto constantine_column grotta_ercole carthage_bath terme_caracalla
{
unique_base_2 requires factions { roman, } and hidden_resource no_access

........(some other code).....

}


This muro_pianto, I would like to make it a destructible building, like how the Acropolis in EB can be destroyed. Otherwise I'd have to take jerusalem again and again to keep it in the ERE and i don't want to do that. The building gives +5 of Judaism, and there are 5 surrounding Christian provinces. Extra unrest of +85% and the population is growing nearing 24000.


I would like to make a new building class, only for that building. I would first remove all the muro_pianto lines from the previous paragraph, then:

building specialbuilding
{
levels unique_base_100 muro_pianto
{
unique_base_100 requires factions { roman, } and hidden_resource no_access
{
capability
{
}
construction 1
cost 400
settlement_min city
upgrades
{
muro_pianto
}
}
}


muro_pianto requires factions { roman, } and hidden_resource jerusalem
{
capability
{
religious_belief judaism 5
happiness_bonus bonus 3
}
construction 5
cost 2200
settlement_min city
upgrades
{
}
}
}
}

That's merely the original paragraph with all the other buildings removed, only muro_pianto remaining, with a new building class "specialbuilding" and a new building level "unique_base_100"

and I add this paragraph to export_decr_buildings.txt
I add specialbuilding to:
export_descr_buildings
export_buildings
export_descr_buildings_enums
descr_strat (modifying it accordingly in the jerusalem paragraph)

I add unique_base_100 to:
export_descr_buildings
export_descr_buildings_enums
export_buildings


Do I seem to be doing things correctly?

[Makanyane]

I haven't checked in detail, looks like you've got right idea, you need to check descr_strat for all instances of hinterland_unique2... and simpler way to fix your problem might be to just to comment out or remove the religious_belief line

if you definitely want to destroy the building search the EB script (in data/scripts/show_me)
for any reference to muro_pianto in case that building is needed for something in the running of the script

[ThePianist]

and simpler way to fix your problem might be to just to comment out or remove the religious_belief line

Woohoo, I never thought of that one and it is so simple! Thanks a lot!
