another question is it possible to have a book once read will give a bonus to all companions in your party at the same time like say plus one to strength.

Click to expand...

yeap, just use the book read trigger, a loop on companions current in the party and the operation to change atributes

Code:

store_attribute_level = 2172 # (store_attribute_level, <destination>, <troop_id>, <attribute_id>), # Stores current value of troop attribute. See ca_* constants in header_troops.py for reference. troop_raise_attribute = 1520 # (troop_raise_attribute, <troop_id>, <attribute_id>, <value>), # Increases troop attribute by the specified amount. See ca_* constants in header_troops.py for reference. Use negative values to reduce attributes. When used on non-hero troop, will affect all instances of that troop.

Thank you

I did this which I know is wrong as I assume it can only handle one troop instead of the group but I cannot find any reference for an entire group
simple trigger

(else_try),
(eq, "$g_player_reading_book", "itm_book_happy_feet"),
(try_for_range, ":troop_no", companions_begin, companions_end),
(str_store_troop_name,s4,":troop_no"),
(troop_raise_attribute, "troop_no", ca_agility, 3),
(str_store_string, s2, "@ {s4}'s all companions agility has increased by 3."),

So I have problem regarding the troops and the meshes.Take a look at these screenshots :
https://ibb.co/Wn4nvDv
https://ibb.co/r3NgxhD
https://ibb.co/xqY8qMc
https://ibb.co/9ppVfsM
https://ibb.co/w4b5TNn

I have the same problem with all the Post Tier 2 troops.Also,if you didnt notice at the last screenshot,the skills are broken,except the attributes.So does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue?

(str_store_string, s2, "@ {s4}'s all companions agility has increased by 3."),

missing the try_end for the loop
missing the ":" on the raise operation
your s4 string makes no sense. If you want to concatenate the list of names like "A, B, C, D" then do something like

Code:

(str_clear, s1)
...
(try_for_range, ...
  (str_store_troop_name,s2,":troop_no"),
  (str_store_string, s1, "@{s2},{s1}"),
  ...
(try_end),

this will get each name on s2 and store it on s1
s1 = empty
s1 = A,
s1 = A, B,
s1 = A, B, C,
...

Hello, sorry to be a bother, but is it possible to check how many enemies a troop(the player) killed or wounded personally? Thank you!

I haven't personally tried it, but

Code:

(get_player_agent_kill_count, <destination>, [get_wounded]),
 # Retrieves the total number of enemies killed by the player. Call with non-zero <get_wounded> parameter to retrieve the total number of knocked down enemies.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

Usually the errors are a bit more helpful to find but this one is less so.

It does say the error location tho. The easiest way to find it would be opening simple_triggers.txt of your mod (the compiled one) with Notepad++, look at the line 83 (since first two lines are not actually triggers), and then try to find it in module_simple_triggers.py. Once you find it, count 17 lines from the beginning of the trigger and find out what the problem is.

Since I made quite a few custom troops,I want to implement the troop tree of all the factions into the game,so I can balance all those troops more easily.How do I do that?

When I give the troop bigger strenght than 30(in this case,31)I get this error : "NameError: name 'str_31' is not defined".What is the deal?

Antonis · Jun 17, 2019

In header troops, strength, like the other attributes are as far as 30(...str_30 = bignum | 0x0000001e)

Sir John Hawkwood · Jun 17, 2019

Hallo dar,

how to animate a scene-prop from mission_templates?
For example a Ballista, how to make it shift between two states (loaded, empty) of the same vertex animation?

Edit- Easy, too much help! It was simpler than expected, i've never used vertex anims' operations before.
I was putting the right operations in the wrong mission template.
I had another trite question though: what do the _no tags exactly mean? Number?

Add after str_30 in header troops

Thank you I didn't even register in my head the simple trigger part must get my glasses changed

check Lav's modsys for a better reference and documented version of header_XXX.py files.

as a example he has this that creates all the str_XX from str_3 to str_63

Code:

# LAV TWEAKS BEGIN

# Generate constants for attribute levels in [3..64) range.
for index in range(3, 64):
	globals()['str_%d' % index] = bignum | index
	globals()['agi_%d' % index] = bignum | (index << 8)
	globals()['int_%d' % index] = bignum | (index << 16)
	globals()['cha_%d' % index] = bignum | (index << 24)

Hi! I am trying to create my own mission in module_templates.

I have experimented with 'Duel with the lord' mission, tweaking it, but I still feel like I am stupid. More or less I understand that ->

Code:

 (11,mtef_visitor_source|mtef_team_0,0,aif_start_alarmed,12,[]),

and I think I can use it properly. What I mean is that I more or less can deal with setting individual friends / enemies on scene. But now I need to deal with whole parties, and I feel lost.

I see that other missions have something like that

Code:

 # (3,mtef_defenders|mtef_team_0,0,aif_start_alarmed,0,[]),
     #(1,mtef_attackers|mtef_team_0,0,aif_start_alarmed,12,[]),

Questions:
1A. When I do use it in my mission, I see my own party (p_main_party) fighting against enemy. How game engine 'knows' what party is related to attackers or to defenders?
1B. How do I set 'source' party to attackers or defenders? Let's say that instead "p_main_party" I want to use "p_quest_tmp_party"? I don't really need to cover wounded/killed friends/enemies, I just need to set up simple fight.

2. Is there any complete tutorial about setting up missions? I read lav's headers and some comments on entry points, but couldn't find anything that would cover exactly 'set-up missions' subject. Does it have any 'official name', that part of modding?
