	PW City Improvement wanted! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

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!

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:

code:
SetPW(player.publicworkslevel + AddThisPW)

By changing that line to: code: 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?

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

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!

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.

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

code:
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;
  }
}

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:

Hmm, got me, thanks for all your help though

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:

code:
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;
  }
}

	HOLD DA PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!! Suffering from ads?

Ugh!

This code works fine with one exception, it gives the pW ok, but only one time!

I would like it to do it each turn, is this possible?

I looked through all the scripts of slc and couldnt see what exactly to put to achieve such a task.

I was reading an article on Scripting from Joe Rumsey-June 18, 1998 (I think he went by the name of MR.Ogre-a CTP Programmer) and it had some interesting points, it stated that when both g.player AND unit.built are listed, the trigger will ONLY be checked when the unit is built.
I was thinking that this is probably the same for improvements, you only get the additional PW ONCE, that being when a University is built.

I also noticed some remarks about "LOOPING", which I am making a stab-in-the-dark, that this would mean the trigger would actually "LOOP" or re-occur?..My question is "HOW"?

Hmm, lots of learning to do, but am looking for any/all input!!

It's certainly repeating correctly for me. Are you getting it just once ever, or just once for each city? What if two cities build their universities on the same turn?

Wll, I have right now 39 cities built and was monitoring actual "PW" bank and noticed for 3 turns it stayed at 500 pw, but will go back and monitor closely, HEY, it was late, maybe I was seeing things..

Ill repost to verify and get back.....

Remember that if you have a saved game from before you made the change you must reload SLIC for the changes to take effect. Do this by opening the chat window (with the apostrophe) and typing /reloadslic

The name 'AddUniPW' could be anything at all - so long as it's different from the names of all the other triggers. You could use 'AddBuildingPW' If your trigger covers more than one building, or 'TrollsAmazingZoonyTrigger' if you wanted to be strange.

The only place where you'll ever use this name is when you cancel a trigger (so that it won't execute any more).

Wow!
Thanks for advice, I well..YOU showed me how and although it is a real baby step, did my first and it works fine!
I made granary "SILO" as an additional PW providing structure.
The way i figure is that even in real life (Which of Course TROLLDOM is) there are many ways of providing PW, some through taxes and some through bonds and well, even some from other civs..er..I mean municipalities assisiting ones growth.

Well, I shall ponder other possible triggers!!
