ould someone explain for-next loops

check this tutorial https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,142422.0.html, it has a section on for-next loops (among others). If you need further help you can ask again. Bring code examples of what you are trying to do as well.

Cheers

That was actually the tutorial I just came from, lol.

In terms of code examples, one thing I'm trying to do is spawn 20 of the same troop type, but I don't want to have to copy paste the same spawn_agent and accompanying code over and over again. Hoping that would be possible to do with loops.

I don't really have a background in programming, so any outside resource I look at tends to have a lot of prerequisite knowledge required to understand.

Thanks for the quick response!

sure you can use a loop for that, but first check if the operation cant already solve your problem. As a example if you are still on setup phase you have

Code:

set_visitors                                 = 1264  # (set_visitors, <entry_no>, <troop_id>, <number_of_troops>),
                                                     # Save as (set_visitors), but spawns an entire group of some troop type.

or how the game handles reinforcements waves

Code:

add_reinforcements_to_entry              = 1930  # (add_reinforcements_to_entry, <mission_template_spawn_record>, <wave_size>),
                                                 # For battle missions, adds reinforcement wave to the specified spawn record (not the entry point). Additional parameter determines relative wave size. Agents in reinforcement wave are taken from all parties of the side that the entry point belongs to due to mtef_team_* flags.

Oh cool, thanks.
I hadn't thought to use that operation. I will definitely try it now.

@pete99

you move prop but noone except server/host know that.you must inform clients about this.

How would you go about informing the clients?

Pitch · Jul 10, 2018

First check that you create loop trought all players.
Then read something about mp events

Is it normal that upon using the tf_guarantee_polearm on a troop it always spawn but never uses said polearm?

I've run some tests with Swadian Footmen. By default, they can spawn with swords, picks and spears, and they will use any of those for combat.

Upon applying the tf_guarantee_polearm flag to them (I'm using the 1.171 module system), all Swadian footmen (I've run 200 x 200 footmen on custom battles just to test it) spawn with spears in addition to swords or picks. However, they never use said spears, always keeping them in their backs, giving preference to onehanded weapons.

I've buffed the Footmen polearm proficiency up to 100, 20 points above onehanded proficiency.

Same situation actually applies to any troop who receives onehanded+polearm via the troop flag.

base game AI is quite simple, with simple rules. Give a spear to a troop (plus a secondary weak weapon like a dagger), and it will use the spear. If you try something more complicate like a sword and spear, then you need to experiment with the boundaries for the calculation of what is the best weapon (engine-wise).

OSP Formations, as a example, implements this logic on the modsys instead, so you can choose parameters like if you should consider just damage, damage plus reach, speed, etc, when choosing the best weapon.

You also have battle commands for manual selection (use polearms, use blunt, no ranged weapons, etc). Some orders are Native, others would require coding.

Either keep it simple or use a custom AI code for weapons.

What's wrong. I even cannot understand the compiler

Everyone gets that. You can't use build_module.bat you have to use WRECK compile.bat
it's one of the weaknesses of custom troops. The mod author doesn't really have time for support so its something you just have to figure out by yourself.
Or at least, that's what I did. You'd think since modmerger was involved you could do something clever with wreck but actually it works fine. I usually on any other add-in would have used WRECK to check for syntax errors (much faster than build_module.bat) but ran build_module.bat anyway for the final build for the public. They tend to see different problems. it's possible I was just too shy to pester him; I never actually asked. He might have quickly walked me through something, but if you use WRECK you can get the add-in up and running. It gave me the needed heads up to get upstab spear animations going (although you sort of have to again know what you're doing - he has it turned off by default). It also has the option to start as king, which I broke out and merged by hand for my v156 build Phantasy 2018. So been there/done that, all sides of the puzzle.

Although I did use custom troop trees in v155 Phantasy 2018, in my opinion it could stand some further reforms. The custom troop trees seem twitchy when exporting a savegame from one PC to another, which I do often, and they don't repopulate as nicely as I'd like, possibly because I use many skins not just male and female human. I've decided to try to not modmerge next time but to insert the code by hand next time, as it seemed to not get along gracefully with Tournament Play Enhancements from Floris. But I might be doing something foolish. If you close your eyes and use compile.bat from a correctly installed WRECK this add in works.

Good luck

I have already been using this:

Wouldn't that do the job?

Is it normal that upon using the tf_guarantee_polearm on a troop it always spawn but never uses said polearm?

Click to expand...

base game AI is quite simple, with simple rules. Give a spear to a troop (plus a secondary weak weapon like a dagger), and it will use the spear. If you try something more complicate like a sword and spear, then you need to experiment with the boundaries for the calculation of what is the best weapon (engine-wise).

OSP Formations, as a example, implements this logic on the modsys instead, so you can choose parameters like if you should consider just damage, damage plus reach, speed, etc, when choosing the best weapon.

You also have battle commands for manual selection (use polearms, use blunt, no ranged weapons, etc). Some orders are Native, others would require coding.

Either keep it simple or use a custom AI code for weapons.

Thanks kalarhan, setting most onehanded weapons as secondary weapons worked fine.

EDIT: actually, it did not. I forgot that setting a weapon as secondary only makes it impossible to be draw

Since having unusable swords on the belt is only beneficial for looks, I guess i'll follow through with spear-only armed footman.

i am getting this while trying to implement PBOD again

Got Guitarma? · Jul 11, 2018

Hello again everyone,

I'm trying to make a multiplayer mod that requires some new key bindings. I looked thru lav's header_operations.py and found the key_clicked operation, but it only allows you to store the key that's pressed, not the player/agent ID that pressed it. I'm assuming this would cause all players to react as if they had just pressed the key, rather than just the one actually pressing the key. Either that, or it's only a singleplayer function. Whatever happens, I need to find some kind of work around.

Anyone got any ideas?

While I'm here, I'd also like to know if all of the orders listed in headers_mission_templates.py actually work in Native, even the ones that aren't used in the base game.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

It is technically a client operation. You can run a mission trigger or presentation on a client and listen for a key input. This can then be sent to the server using the multiplayer_send_message_to_server or one of the multiplayer_send_int_to_server operations.

Pitch · Jul 11, 2018

What you exacly want do?

Create triger with key required and You can store Player id using multiplayer_get_my_player.

Got Guitarma? · Jul 11, 2018

Ah thanks to both of you. That helps a lot. I'm trying to add in new ai bot formations, but for multiplayer bots.

your best bet is to ask on the tool thread itself. Not to say that someone wont answer here tho, just a suggestion.
