Giving money and settlements to other factions
I found a way to give money and settlements to a faction other then the player's faction. This was thought to be impossible because add_money and capture_settlement only work for the local (player's) faction. Or atleast I think it is, if this is old news then excuse my ignorance.
First you need to store the player's faction (the "local" faction). This is done with the following piece of code, at the beginning of the script:
Now to give money/settlements to another faction. The console commands "add_money" and "capture_settlement" only work for the "local" faction, but there is a way around this problem: This is done with the "control" command. Control changes the faction the player controls, thereby changing the "local" faction. An example:Code:declare_counter player_faction if I_LocalFaction romans_julii set_counter player_faction 1 end_if if I_LocalFaction romans_brutii set_counter player_faction 2 end_if if I_LocalFaction romans_scipii set_counter player_faction 3 end_if if I_LocalFaction romans_senate set_counter player_faction 4 end_if if I_LocalFaction macedon set_counter player_faction 5 end_if if I_LocalFaction egypt set_counter player_faction 6 end_if if I_LocalFaction seleucid set_counter player_faction 7 end_if if I_LocalFaction carthage set_counter player_faction 8 end_if if I_LocalFaction parthia set_counter player_faction 9 end_if if I_LocalFaction pontus set_counter player_faction 10 end_if if I_LocalFaction gauls set_counter player_faction 11 end_if if I_LocalFaction germans set_counter player_faction 12 end_if if I_LocalFaction britons set_counter player_faction 13 end_if if I_LocalFaction armenia set_counter player_faction 14 end_if if I_LocalFaction dacia set_counter player_faction 15 end_if if I_LocalFaction greek_cities set_counter player_faction 16 end_if if I_LocalFaction numidia set_counter player_faction 17 end_if if I_LocalFaction scythia set_counter player_faction 18 end_if if I_LocalFaction spain set_counter player_faction 19 end_if if I_LocalFaction thrace set_counter player_faction 20 end_if
First the local faction is set to the britons, then the settlement "Paris" is given to the local faction (the britons), then money is added to the local faction (yep, still the britons). This all happens within the same turn, so the player won't notice anything (apart from a small delay while the current garrison moves our of the settlement).Code:console_command control britons console_command capture_settlement Paris console_command add_money 2000
Now all that remains is giving control back to the original player's faction, with the following piece of code:
Note that I haven't done a great lot of tests on this yet, so there might be drawbacks that I haven't discovered yet (switching control *might* mess up the AI). But if there aren't any problems then it should be usefull to help the AI by giving them extra money and for special events that change settlement control. There might be other commands that are limited to the "local" faction that work with this too, I haven't really checked them all.Code:if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 1 console_command control romans_julii end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 2 console_command control romans_brutii end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 3 console_command control romans_scipii end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 4 console_command control romans_senate end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 5 console_command control macedon end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 6 console_command control egypt end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 7 console_command control seleucid end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 8 console_command control carthage end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 9 console_command control parthia end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 10 console_command control pontus end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 11 console_command control gauls end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 12 console_command control germans end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 13 console_command control britons end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 14 console_command control armenia end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 15 console_command control dacia end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 16 console_command control greek_cities end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 17 console_command control numidia end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 18 console_command control scythia end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 19 console_command control spain end_if if I_CompareCounter player_faction = 20 console_command control thrace end_if
