Spear Bracing Kit (Updated)

[FrisianDude]

Now it might be that it's because it's 4:17 in the morning, but I can't think of where to put all this script. Ofcourse, if it's obvious I'll be angry at myself when I wake up, but I honestly can't think of it now.

There are pieces missing (like slot definitions).  Wait a bit, I think TheMercenary will be fixing it up soon.

[FrisianDude]

Oh, right. See, that's what I meant whith my previous post, same things has been asked before.

[Merlkir]

O_o this is pretty awesome.

It wouldn't be hard to add the agent slots yourself.  All the code goes near the top of the mission_templates.py file (where the other pre-defined triggers are), then you use the one line calls in your mission_templates tuples.

[Berserker Pride]

hey jik,

when you say the predefined triggers do you mean the pilgrim_disguise trigger and the af_castle_lord trigger so the code goes right below those two?
I'm not a very experienced coder what are the agent_slots slot definitions and where would they go? I understand what you are saying about only needing to list the nine triggers in the separte mt battle tuples though.

Yup, right there would work.  Anywhere between there and above:

mission_templates = [

then in the templates you want to be able to use it (such as with the charge mission_template) you need to add the constant names with the other triggers.

The agent slots go in the module_constants.py.  Search for agents, the area is clearly marked.

is there any way to know how to put it to a specific unit (or item and then assign the item to that unit? and make it unique?)

[Lord Leoric of Wercheg]

You can assign which weapons could brace, it clearly says so in Merc's first post. You could make, the item(s) unique but my question is why?

[jik]

You could make the item unique to a specific troop which would mean that only a specific troop can use the option...

If you look at the code, they check for the weapon(s) allowed to be used.  Adjust that to only be the weapon(s) you want to use the spear brace, such as pikes.

[Leopardo]

Ummm define brace please?
I don't see what bracing a weapon would look like (and its utility)

sorry, sometimes i just don't understand...

Bracing a polearm is an infantry tactic to prevent cavalry from crashing into their lines.  You basically take a reasonably long weapon, stick it in the ground and raise it at an angle toward the charging horsies.  If braced well, the horse and often rider will impale themselves on the weapons and have a generally bad day. 

[Leopardo]

oh ok, i understand now
thanks!

Basically the agents. You need the deliver damage to agent, get wielded item, has item equipped...umm, just stick them all in. Override the agents with it.

I think you miss understood my initial request.  You must have defined some new slots, because you call a few that don't exist in native.  Those who try to add this with out basic knowledge of slots will never get it to work...
