Help with faction emerge script

**4zumi** · April 01, 2018, 02:49 AM

Hello everyone,

I am stuck in creating a faction emerge script. I read the threads, I tried several variants, but it seems that I could not get it to work.

Code:

;Faction EMERGE TEST variant
    
    declare_counter scotland_emerge

    end_if
 
    set_counter scotland_emerge 0
    set_counter scotlandEdinburgh 0
    
end_monitor

In my test I start a grand campaign, surrender_regions scotland, then evacuate London and let it riot for 2 or more turns.
Scotland should emerge now in London, or at least in some England owned settlement, as far as I have understood this.

But nothing happens. No army spawns (as it should regarding the script) nor does scotland emerge.

I have tried several variants of code (the above one is the last iteration).
I do not know where my mistake lies.

I have 31 factions in my mod. Maybe I would need a free faction slot for a successful emergence?

Help would be much appreciated.

cheers

Any errors in the log?

**4zumi** · April 01, 2018, 05:20 AM

No errors in the standard log.
I looked at the trace log, but honestly i do not know what to look for in there.
I searched for the specific trigger, but could not find it or anything else.
So i have no real clue here.
if you have any advice what i could look for in the trace log, i will do it.
thanks

I tried your first script and got a log error about unknown unit. I can't remember the exact message but the problem was a space instead of a tab between the unit type and the "exp" of all of those unit lines.

Once I fixed that it worked. Scotland turned up but it took a few goes - there was a fine line between London being "< content" and turning rebel itself before Scotland had a chance to appear.

**4zumi** · April 01, 2018, 06:37 AM

Thanks, i will look after that.
Could i use cityriots instead of the loyalty level?
So i save one monitor and say :
If settlement riots emerge faction and spawn army.

I am on mobile right now, so sorry for formating and thelike.

**Withwnar** · April 01, 2018, 06:46 AM

The CityRiots event or the IsSettlementRioting condition. Perhaps, not familiar with them myself.

Something I noticed in your script: if england doesn't own London then you're spawning the scotland army but not doing the faction_emerge, so the army will have no settlements and go rebel.

**4zumi** · April 01, 2018, 07:17 AM

Ok, thanks. I will try these out too.

Yeah, it is just a test to see if it works. The final script will have a condition including every faction in the game.
Then the correct settlement (Edinburgh) will be in there too. London was just for testing convenience.

**4zumi** · April 01, 2018, 08:27 AM

I made a short testrun with a new compressed script and it seems to work quiet well.
Thanks again Withwnar for spotting the error.

Here is the script I use for now
(If this settlement riots, the faction will emerge)

Code:

monitor_event SettlementTurnStart SettlementName London
        and I_NumberOfSettlements scotland < 1
        and IsSettlementRioting
        
        console_command create_building London ros_target
        
        spawn_army
    faction scotland
    character random_name, named character, age 30, x 107, y 164, family
    traits ReligionStarter 1, LoyaltyStarter 1, NaturalMilitarySkill 2, GoodCommander 2, BattleChivalry 2, Loyal 2, Just 2
    unit NE Bodyguard    exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
    unit Feudal Knights    exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit Highland Nobles    exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
    unit Highland Nobles    exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0

    unit Highland Archers    exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
    unit Highland Archers    exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
    end
    
    if I_SettlementOwner London = england
        faction_emerge scotland england 1 400.0 0.0 1.2 town true unused_label1 unused_name 30
    end_if

    end_monitor

You've got to get up early in the morning to beat Withwnar to the answer!

**Withwnar** · April 01, 2018, 09:50 AM

On a bit of a roll today, for sure.

If a settlement other than London becomes the emerged-into one then that building won't be destroyed in London because scotland don't own it. It would be safer to have one of those destroy_buildings lines for scotland and every faction who could possibly own it.

Also, it's quite likely that the ros_target building won't do much to make London the desired target. The real strength of ROS is the other building that gives a huge public order boost to all of the other settlements.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Before I get to the other stuff, is there a command where I can destroy a building in a certain settlement
"destroy_building London ros_target" or can i just destroy buildings factionwide?

Naturally I want to avoid the tedious work of making the script for giving 198 settlements the "+ Public Order ROS building" and destroying them afterwards.

So maybe I could make another approach at a small cost. I have read some threads about the emerge faction thing here, so I know there is a small chance it might fail to work correct.
If I add settlement_turmoil the the settlement, were I want to emerge a faction I could theoretically bring it down to 0% PO, by adding settlement turmoil for 14 turns (-70% po).
My trigger only fires, if the settlement in question is already rioting (so it is at its highest at 65% po). The added unrest will bring it down to 0%.

If I am correct (the emergence will happen at the settlement with the lowest PO), there would have to be a highly unlikely incident of another settlement, that I or the faction the emerge happens from, owns, that has to be also at 0% PO.
So it is highly likely, that the emerge will happen at the desired settlement, at the cost of a small uncertainty and residing settlement turmoil for the newly emerged faction.

As it is the capital of that faction (and I suppose the capital gets special PO boni; it seemed so, as I tested it with London and only needed 1 or 2 units of garrison to counter the 80% unrest.) the newly emerged faction is most likely able to handle the unrest for the remaining turns until it normalizes.

Another question would be, if there is a command like "remove_settlement_turmoil"? I suppose there is no such thing. Otherwise I would have read about it here in the forum most likely.

Thanks for your help

Only factionwide.

If I add settlement_turmoil the the settlement...

I don't have experience with turmoil.

Naturally I want to avoid the tedious work of making the script for giving 198 settlements the "+ Public Order ROS building" and destroying them afterwards.

Your script will already be destroying all of them, once you expand it to do it for all factions.

ROS has a tool that generates script. You could use that, telling it you want it for all regions, then find the part of the generated script that is creating the buildings and copy-paste into yours. It literally took me about two minutes to do that to get this...
