Campaign script - adding a building

[Epistolary Richard]

To give it, yes. To take it away, no. We don't have a demolish building command. The only thing you can do to remove its effects is to include in a background script a monitor that damages it every turn. All the reforms in EB and Res Gestae are done by placing unbuildable, undamageable buildings in settlements on certain dates (or other events).

Well, that's good enough. How would you make an unbuyable and indestructible building though, if I may ask (if it is available to, lets say the Roman factions, it won't appear in the building construction list?)

Thanks very much,

Unconstructable - make the building require a hidden resource that doesn't appear anywhere on the map.

Indestructable - Add the hinterland_ prefix to building tree name (as used in hinterland_roads)

So you might have for example:

hinterland_newbuilding
- smallbuilding
- mediumbuilding
- largebuilding

[dclare4]

So let's say I call this resource PBDISSENT and make it a hidden resource then a script can create this building depending on other factors (ie. the presence of a certain religion in a settlement)?

Thanks,

Gah, OK I give up. I've been having a little go at getting this very simple script working every now and again for months. It just does not work (I knew I should have left scripting alone).

Can someone point me to a mod download that uses a BI modfolder and has a campaign script working? I will have to study the files - perhaps that will help.

Thx.

p.s. the mod downloads section (which is great) could be enhanced by having a division for the form of the mod installation (does it overwrite, go into a modfolder, work of the JSGME thingy, etc.). At least, a clear symbol (along the same lines as the 'P' in the red triangle) could be used to denote the same. It would be very useful.

I've got the following setup working (in BI, but not in a -mod folder).

descr_strat

script
CreateBuildings_Script.txt

CreateBuildings_Script.txt

start_script
console_command create_building Minas_Tirith men0
end_script

Remember that you have to use the name of the settlement, not the name of the region.

Thx. Encaitar - but already tried and a no no.
