PW City Improvement wanted!

[Grandpa Troll]

Would it be possible to make a city improvement that would give me "X" PW per turn per citizen?

City Clock gives 1 gold per..Television gives 5 gold per citizen, this is where I am headed, like say 1 improvement gives 20 PW per citizen and maybe a future one to give say 40 per citizen.

Just a thought, any/all feedback would be appreciated!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Please..

Yes... That requires SLIC, but should be possible.

Roughly, you should create a building with no other effects, and make a SLIC trigger to check through all the cities for a player and give PW for each with the building.

If you need any more specific SLIC help ask... I'm not sure about checking whether a city contains a given building but it must be doable.

You may be out of luck.
SLIC has a SetPW function, but I did not find an AddPW function.

Look, I am not an expert or even a Novice with SLIC but want to learn. From what I am reading, was wondering if this would be possible:
Take a building, say "University", could you make it so whenever that particular building was built, it would give say 1000 PW or could you make it so it would give say "?" PW per citizen or are there any other viable options available. What I am looking for is some setup similiar to Gold bonus's with PW bonus's instead.

Thanks

That's OK, you use something like:

SetPW(player.publicworkslevel + AddThisPW)

Troll:

Basically you should be able to do this, the trigger would be something like the following (note that I've not tested this and it's a long time since I've SLICed, so it may well be totally wrong, and will almost certainly have bugs...):

trigger 'AddUniPW' when(city.beginturn) {
  if (CityHasBuilding(city, "IMPROVE_UNIVERSITY") {
    SetPlayer(1, city.owner);
    SetPW(player.1.publicworkslevel + 10);
  }
}

That should make universities give 10PW per turn each. By changing that line to:

    SetPW(player.1.publicworkslevel + 10 * city.population);

You should be able to get 10 PW per turn per population.

MY addiction..I mean my WANT to play MP CTP1 today outweighs my desire to try this now, however,I shall soon!
Thanks much my friend!

I am taking it that you simply add to end of slic?

~Peace~

That's the easy way. You can also create your own SLIC file and #include it at the end of script.slc.

[Grandpa Troll]

I tried adding the one line where you get "pw" per citizen, but you get an error that states that you have a syntax error.."script.slc :1 : syntax error"

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Troll


FYI, I tried creating my own scenario.slc but it crashed, then I added this line to the end of the script.slc..am I in wrong directory?

Thanks for any/all help!

You'll need to add the whole trigger with the SetPW line replaced by the other one - the latter line alone will not work.

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok, I did that, now I get this error:

"city.beginturn is not a builtin variable and is using dot notation"

Ok, any advice my friend free oncall experts?

[J Bytheway]

OK, I don't know where I picked up that from - it's not listed anywhere in the documentation. Try:

trigger 'AddUniPW' when(g.player) {
  SetPlayer(1, g.player);
  i=0;

  while (i < player.1.cities) {
    SetCityByIndex(1, player.1, i);
    if (CityHasBuilding(city, "IMPROVE_UNIVERSITY") {
      SetPW(player.1.publicworkslevel + 10 * city.population);
    }
    i = i + 1;
  }
}

[Grandpa Troll]

Now I get this message, keeping in mind I copied and pasted your script into the script.slc file in default/gamedata/script.slc and recieved an error message as follows:

default/gamedata/script.slc:2 syntax error

Hmm, got me, thanks for all your help though

[J Bytheway]

What is line 2 in script.slc?

[J Bytheway]

Hmm... I've been experimenting, and I found a missing close bracket on that 'if' line, but even after fixing that I still got the strange error. However, after fiddling around I could make this work:

trigger 'AddUniPW' when(g.player) {
  SetPlayer(1, g.player);
  i=0;

  while (i < player.1.cities) {
    SetCityByIndex(1, player.1, i);
    if (CityHasBuilding(city, "IMPROVE_UNIVERSITY")) {
      SetPW(player.1, player.1.publicworkslevel + 10 * city.population);
    }
    i = i + 1;
  }
}

And I can't tell what else I changed, but never mind.
