An Intermediate Guide to Scripting

Hi all. I want to write a script to achieve this result: Every time I press the "disband unit" button, it will create a certain unit in a certain city.

script

declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 1
 
monitor_event ButtonPressed ButtonPressed disband_unit
console_command create_unit  Bordeaux "Dismounted Feudal Knights80" 1
end_monitor
 
while I_CompareCounter loop = 1
end_while

end_script

As you can see, the problem is I don't know what the real button ID of "disband unit". The CA docudemon says it can be found in a file called available_ui_elements.txt. But where can I find it?

You were very close: it's disband_unit_button. Jerome Grasdyke from CA was kind enough to post the contents of this file here.

Hello everyone. I m'essaye scripting and hope poster to the right place. That is my problem.
I managed (with the help of another modder of TWcenter) to a script that damages the shrine battleforge and built a shrine fun when you take the city of genua. Here is the script

script
declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 0

monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement SettlementName Genua
and CharacterIsLocal
and not SettlementBuildingExists = shrine_fun

console_command set_building_health Genua battleforge 0
console_command create_building Genua shrine_fun

end_monitor
while I_compareCounter loop = 0
end_while
end_script

I wish now that the shrine battleforge damage and fun shrine built for all cities that I will take. Do you have any idea?

Sorry for my English, I am french

Replacing the condition SettlementName Genua with TrueCondition should do the trick. You do realise that the script as currently written will give you a shrine_fun even if a settlement doesn't have a battleforge shrine?

Yes, I know and that troubles me. But in console_command I replaces genua by what?
