Cohesion states ?

[Athos1660]

Is it possible to assign cohesion states (disrupted, fragmented) to units in the Scenario Editor ?

No, but you can write a script for it in the scenario.bsf file.

My KYNOSKEPHALAI_197BC scenario has scripts to pinpoint exactly which units I wanted to start Fragmented or Disrupted, but it is often possible to use simpler scripts that affect a whole army or certain unit types.

Thank you very much ! I will look at your scenario and try to adapt the scripts.

Hmm:

Code: Select all

	id = GetUnitOnTile(29,29);
	SetAttrib(id, "MoraleState", 2);
	SetUnitStatusFlag(id);
	SetAttrib(id, "DisplayMoraleState", 2);

This code does appear to work in this scenario, but in general it really ought to be

Code: Select all

	id = GetUnitOnTile(29,29);
	SetAttrib(id, "MoraleState", 2);
	SetAttrib(id, "DisplayMoraleState", 2);
	SetUnitStatusFlag(id);

otherwise the changed morale state won't show until something causes a fresh status update.

Or, even better

Code: Select all

	id = GetUnitOnTile(29,29);
	SetAttrib(id, "MoraleState", 2);
	UpdateDisplayMoraleState(id, 2);

Thank you very much !
I will try it ASAP.
That will be a great addition to my testing/Scenarios !

I successfully made my first "Scenario" with various cohesion states, thanks to your instruction, RBS's bits of script, Paul's Creation guide about the .bsf file and the Kynoskephalai scenario. That's very nice!!!! Very helpful.

Thanks to both of you
