Event assistance needed TOT

[Colwyn]

Hi comrades, I have a event that will create a supply convoy ie caravan and I want to know how in the event language i can tell it to be created with a particular caravan commodity ie food suplies to be specific

please advise what i need to add and if its even possible


@Then
createunit
unit=supply convoy
owner=soviets
vetran=no
homecity=gorkiy
locations
23,113
endlocation


I need it to be created so in the scenario, food supplies can be delivered to lenigrad via the road of life

Can't do it. Event created caravans are automatically hides. Sorry.

There is nothing you can do. The unit created always carries the first item in the commodity list, just as when you manually create a freight.

If you rename the first commodity "Food"and deliver it, the starving population will find that it is inedible.

Can you have a couple of real food caravans stashed away in the UK at the start of the scen for delivery when they are needed?

Yeah ag a good thought, nice one mate.

Now let me see a event to move them automatically without the player sticking them on a freighter first!

Why automatic if they are Russian?

I was thinking aloud but if they exisit at the start of the scen in the UK whats stopping the player from using a freighter or building one to move them to Murmansk.

Hmm we need to figure out another way.

Another few questions for you all is this a valid tot events command

@IF
CITYTAKEN
city=Luga
city=Nava
attacker=Germans
defender=Soviets
@THEN

i want the event to occur only when 2 or more cities are in german control.

Also is there a event syntex that will allow you to create a Fortress improvement on a location? as i don't want all units killed there.

Nothing, as far as I can see. C'mon Colwyn, could you please try to explain the problem using the Queen's English. The above is as opaque as the previous posts. From what you have written, I don't think that anyone can possibly have a clue as to what your problem is.


No, the event won't work. See the guide to using masks at The Cradle of Civilization.

Cannot create Fortress or any other terrain improvement. Suggest you download TOT manual and check out extensive EVENTS section.

I think this has something to do with preventing the Sovs from building freighters.

I see no real trouble with allowing Russia to build these units...

[AGRICOLA]

Neither do I but maybe it is a rhetorical question.

For the lack of a freighter there is no PQ convoy
For the lack of a PQ convoy, there are no Valentine tanks
For the lack of Valentines, the battle is lost
For the loss of the battle, the scen is lost
And all for the lack of a beaten-up old scow

The story of Mary Lou the old scow!

You may not believe it, but here's how it happened.
One fine summer morning a little bug sneezed.
Because of that sneeze, a little seed dropped.
Because that seed dropped, a worm got hit.
Because he got hit, that worm got mad.
Because he got mad, he kicked a tree.
Because of that kick, a coconut dropped.
Because that nut dropped, a turtle got bopped.
Because he got bopped, that turtle named Jake
fell on his back with a splash in the lake.
Because of that splash, a hen got wet.
Because she got wet, that hen got mad.
Because she got mad, that hen kicked a bucket.
Because of that kick, the bucket went up.
Because it went up...the bucket came down.
Because it came down, it hit Farmer Brown.
And that bucket got stuck on his head.
Because it got stuck, Farmer Brown phoned for help.
Because of his phone call, policemen came speeding.
Because they were speeding, they hit a big stone.
And so one policeman flew up all alone.
Because he flew up...he had to come down.
And because he came down on the boat Mary Lou...
and because he hit hard...he went right through.
He made a big hole in the boat Mary Lou.
Because of that hole, the boat started to sink.
And because it was sinking...well, what do you think?

Okay, okay...I did read it to my kid last week.

Dave, you are obviously a very good father.
