An Intermediate Guide to Scripting

[Hans Kloss]

Yes, perfectly possible - but obviously not through the existing mercenary mechanism. Look at the Client Kingdoms mod for one way of doing it for the player. For non-player factions you would have to do it in a background script using a monitor_event with whatever conditionals you want and a create_unit console command inside.

Thx for your reply Richard

Would something like this make any sens ?

script
if I_SettlementOwner Tarsus =(probably list of all non roman factions or is that another way ?)
console_command create_unit Tarsus "merc roman deserters" 1
end_if
end_script

pilatus I remember Myrddraal saying something about the disable_ai command when putting together the Hot Seat Mod. He certainly used halt_ai for that.

Maly Jacek If that's an event script then you're better off putting the conditionals in the trigger. If that's a background script you need a loop to keep it running and a monitor event in there to tell the game when to check the conditionals.

thx richard
but i've already checked the halt_ai command in myrdaals script and there is the problem that you can't make all factions playable at yourself..only two of them...if you make more the script says good bye!

I've also already checked the set_ai off command but i think this is only for the battle_ai...

has nobody checked the disable_ai command ?
