Creating Garrison Script.

[daud.fr]

Bardo, i got confused a bit with your instructions :(.
Could you please just clarify this for me.
Am i right here:
[city name = map name = Acre, faction1 = sassanids, faction 2 = franks, unit name = crusader latin knigts (just for testing)]

script

This For each Settlement

declare_counter AcreBesiged
set_counter AcreBesiged 0

Repeat For Each Faction

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType sassanids
and I_LocalFaction sassanids

;;;;;;;Repeat For Each Settlement;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
   if I_CompareCounter AcreBesiged = 0
      and not I_SettlementOwner Acre = sassanids
      if I_CharacterTypeNearTile sassanids general,  2 151,162
         set_counter AcreBesiged 1
      end_if
      if I_CharacterTypeNearTile sassanids family,  2 151,162
         set_counter AcreBesiged 1
      end_if
   end_if
   if I_CompareCounter AcreBesiged = 2
      and not I_CharacterTypeNearTile sassanids family, 2 151,162
      and not I_CharacterTypeNearTile sassanids general, 2 151,162
      set_counter AcreBesiged 0
   end_if
;;;;;;;^^^Repeat for Each Settlement^^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

end_monitor

This Monitor For Every Settlement

monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementName Acre
   and I_CompareCounter AcreBesiged = 1
   and GarrisonSettlementRatio < 0.5
      if I_SettlementOwner Acre = sassanids
         console_command create_unit Acre "crusader latin knights" 4
         console_command add_money -2000       
         console_command add_population Acre -1500
      end_if
      if I_SettlementOwner Acre = franks
         console_command create_unit Acre "crusader latin knights" 4
         console_command add_money -2000       
         console_command add_population Acre -1500
      end_if
      if I_SettlementOwner Acre = slave
         console_command create_unit Acre "crusader latin knights" 4
         console_command add_money -2000       
         console_command add_population Acre -1500
      end_if
      set_counter AcreBesiged 2
end_monitor

while TrueCondition
end_while

end_script

Did i understand your instructions correctly?
Thanks Bardo.

Bardo
Thanks bro, i made it work!
The problem was i forgot to add
"declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 0" in the begginning

and

"while I_CompareCounter loop = 0
end_while
end_script

in the end".

Also thanks a lot for letting me use your kind. It was very kind of you. Hopefully it is going to be included in a new patch for the Crusades!
Now i'm gonna have to copy it for all the factions))) A lot of boring work to do))

Did i understand your instructions correctly?

Yes, you understood right.

Also thanks a lot for letting me use your kind.

No problem, man. In fact, mine is just an evolution from LorDBula's.
And I'm happy if my work is useful to other people.

The problem was i forgot to add...

Weird, because this code has the same effect:

while TrueCondition
end_while

than that:

declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 0
while I_CompareCounter loop = 0
end_while

Now i'm gonna have to copy it for all the factions))) A lot of boring work to do))

I agree... really boring.

You can pm me if you have some other doubt, or if you find some bug in the script.

I followed Bardo's guide and it works. Thanks!

Note I find that garrison script too complicated and hard to maintain, since it needs all the settlement names and coordinates. If I would have to create a garrison script now, from scratch, I would use one based on this simpler method:

monitor_event CharacterTurnEndInSettlement FactionType [faction name]
   and IsUnderSiege
   and SettlementName [settlement MAP name]

      console_command create_unit [settlement INTERNAL name] "[unit name]" 1

end_monitor

The limitation is it only works if there is a named character inside the city, but you only need to write one monitor per city.
It would be easy to add one named charater at each city, and to give them a trait with penalty to movement points to avoid AI move them.

I already used this method for siege of Helm's Deep in our mod and it works. I would just need to add a counter to avoid the script being triggered every turn.

I tried to place other useful info about scripts here:
