Triggering - beyond traits and ancillaries

[Dol Guldur]

I have been looking over the Traits and Ancillaries and wonder if there is a way that these can provide a way to indirectly affect or open up the creation of units and/or buildings.

Can these triggers have a more direct effect?

[Epistolary Richard]

No, those files can only effect traits and ancillaries. The same events, conditionals and commands however can be used in scripts which can simulate the creation of buildings and units.
.

[Dol Guldur]

Show Me scripts are of no use, but there must be a way to make units and buildings be built or accessible through such code as is found in the ancillaries/traits files.

How does Rome bestow (say) wardogs upon your capital when you complete a mission in vanilla?

How does it recognise which settlement is capital as well? How does it create the unit?

[Epistolary Richard]

The Senate and the method by which it grants its rewards are all hard-coded. The only thing we have access to is in descr_senate.

[Dol Guldur]

I see.

What about "spawn_army"?

What about adoption and successful bribery effects (i.e. the creation of units)?

[Epistolary Richard]

We've had no success getting spawn_army to work, spawn_character works but only for agents - captains and generals appear without their bodyguards and cannot move or interact with others. The mechanism by which adoptions occur and bribery works are both hard-coded (as far as I'm aware). All we can do with bribery is change which factions the unit will actually fight for when bribed.
