New Commands: AddGarrison & ClearGarrisons

[Pocus]

Yes, it is a script command.

callipygian indeed.

Yes, it is a script command.

callipygian indeed.

And so once again, I must plod to the dictionary and look it up....

...a fine word, suitable for public use wherein noone will know of what I speak...

[bigus]

Well I finally got the command into an event. I made it so it will fire 100% of the time for now.
Problem is I still don't see any units being created.

I've tried $mdl and $uni for units. I've also added Early force pool.

any help would be much appreciated.

What does this mean?

Goats and Monkeys! There is a fine rennaissance faire not far from your dwelling, where I worked for several summers (many years ago). The callipygian wenches there are happy to give the short course in Elizabethan English. Some of them even know a few French and Latin terms.

now authorized for all games but BOA, so it should not be the problem

I'm there for you dear modders
By the way if one of the vet modders here want to give us an hand on some VGN data creation, you're welcome


There is a point to remark in your script, which is not wrong but is not used as it should. AddGarrison add a garrison potential to the faction. You don't have to do that every turn!

Also I checked the code and saw that garrisons with the same area where not replaced but added, so this would mean in your case that you get an entry for KY added up in the faction garrison list for each turn. I modified the code so that a new garrison entry with same area replace the previous one.

But this would not lead your script to fail, so the possibilities are:

a) no garrison is ever added in region that don't have a fort, a depot or a city under level 7.
b) no garrison added if there is a locked force with a line unit in the region or if the same Unit UID is in the region.
c) you have to have enough replacement of the type used by the first element of the unit (and this is a unit alias reference you need)

I'm sorry Pocus but I don't understand what your trying to say.

O.K ..... are you saying I don't have to have the Command in an event the way I do? (ie: With a start event and an end event.)
It does work and the script does fire. I have it at 100% so I can see if it fires for testing.

Also I checked the code and saw that garrisons with the same area where not replaced but added, so this would mean in your case that you get an entry for KY added up in the faction garrison list for each turn.

b) no garrison added if there is a locked force with a line unit in the region or if the same Unit UID is in the region.
c) you have to have enough replacement of the type used by the first element of the unit (and this is a unit alias reference you need)

a) I do have 1 fort and 3 depots.
b) I do have locked forces with line units in all three depots. This might be it.
c) I believe I have enough replacements.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help

for the first part, it works but you added a 999 # of occurences, so this trigger every turn, which is not needed.

(b) that's the reason.

[Pocus]

moved to public forum. Now activable in all games.

Just kidding to get someone's attention to hopefully get some help.

I don't seem to be able to get this to work. leure:

Could someone post an event XLS file and the resulting text files (once that cvsplitter thing does it magic)? If I can see the XLS code and how it should look after its been executed, it would be greatly appreciated!

O.k so I redid it to have one occurence.
The Rebels do not have locked units in Kentucky so I'll test with them first.
My question now is if I add a garrison in Kentucky for instance, does this mean I can't have any other garrisons in Kentucky. ie: Only one garrison added per state?

Bigus can show you his script, as he has already his xls ready.

No, it will works fine. I think we are not understanding each other. The command works like a permanent command (you can add it by setup). Once it is set, it tells the code to add the garrison in each legal spot, every turn the conditions are met. It is like when you add a ammo production in a city, once done, the city produce every turn the ammos. Same here, once set, when the conditions are met, a garrison will pop up.

Wow Thanks for the quick response Pocus!
I understand you now
testing it out now.....

Dear Modders/AGeod: How about a patch to 1.10. This is an excellent idea? T
