Some modest results with spawn_army

[Vegas_Bear]

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

[Apollodotus]

This seems to work with "named character" too.

/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 )

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

[alpaca]

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.

provoke_rebellion should work, it takes a Phrase which is matched worldwide to a settlement name and should cause a rebellion in that settlement on the next end-of-turn

Has anyone gotten this to work?

[rorarii]

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

Hi rorarii,

Do you mean this?

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

[Legatus_Legionis]

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

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

[spurs_dan21]

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.

[Atilius]

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.
