An Intermediate Guide to Scripting

Well maybe trigger rebelling in BI? Is that possible? Where are these docudemon files BTW?

No, as far I know there's no change allegiance command.

The docudemon files are linked in the first post of this topic. They can be found here:

If you're using loyalty in BI, you could always give the character a huge negative to loyalty using a trait. I haven't messed around much with loyalty though, so I'm not so sure how predictable it is.

Thanks for the replies, it sucks you have to kill the character though, makes scripting Roman civil war MUCH harder...

Has anyone found a way to script a keystroke? For instance, making the game peform a quick save in the script by having "Ctrl-S" invoked? I know there are ways to get UI elements activatedd, but I'm specifically trying to do something that has a shortcut, but no UI element. Probably not possible but I thought I'd ask.

Shortcuts can be called using a scripting command. I made a post about it somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up.

[Myrddraal]

here is a neat scripting command which I found whilst working on the MP campaign:

call_object_shortcut

Here is an example of the syntax:

call_object_shortcut strat_ui speedup_ai

the strat_ui bit is the category of the shortcut. If you open data\text\descr_shortcuts.txt and scroll to the bottom end, you'll find a list of the shortcuts with their categories to the right.

Ok - I thought I tried that and it didn't work. Guess I'll try again.

Edit: Forgot my manners! Thanks for the quick response!
Edit2: Looks like I had the wrong category for the shortcut I was trying to invoke. I'll test the new one when I get home...
