[R&F] (SOLVED) Help with Granting Relics

[S1AL]

Overview:

New modder, generally familiar with basic SQL stuff. I'm using modbuddy and Notepad++.

I'm looking to create an effect that grants Poland a Relic upon founding a religion or evangelizing a belief.

Is there a way to do this with SQL using the MODIFIER_PLAYER_GRANT_RELIC ModifierType, or do I need to use Lua? It appears to me that this sort of trigger is beyond the capabilities of an SQL item, but I'd rather not overlook a simple solution.

Thanks.

Maybe REQUIREMENT_PLAYER_FOUNDED_RELIGION_WITH_BELIEF (see Leaders.xml) can help you. It might be very cumbersome, but you could use this requirement type to insert all the desired beliefs in a RequirementSetId for your trigger.

Maybe it can be also done in Lua: Spawn a unit with the relic promotion, then kill that unit to get a free relic for Poland. I have not tried this myself, but you could use

Events.BeliefAdded( Your_Function ) 
function Your_Function( playerID, beliefID )
--your code
end

as an event that triggers your function. Also you need

pUnit = UnitManager.InitUnit(iPlayer, "UNIT_TYPE_NAME", x, y)

to spawn a unit and

UnitManager.Kill(pUnit, false)

to kill that unit.

So it turns out this one was actually fairly simple, I just needed to borrow the format from Macedon's Inspiration triggers. Granting a Relic for founding a religion:

INSERT INTO Modifiers (ModifierId , ModifierType , SubjectRequirementSetId)
    VALUES ('TRAIT_LITHUANIANUNION_FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD' , 'MODIFIER_ALL_PLAYERS_ATTACH_MODIFIER' , 'PLAYER_FOUNDED_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD');  
INSERT INTO Modifiers (ModifierId , ModifierType , Permanent , RunOnce)
    VALUES ('FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_MODIFIER_CPLMOD' , 'MODIFIER_PLAYER_GRANT_RELIC' , 1 , 1);  
INSERT INTO ModifierArguments (ModifierId , Name , Value)
    VALUES ('TRAIT_LITHUANIANUNION_FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD' , 'ModifierId' , 'FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_MODIFIER_CPLMOD');  
INSERT INTO ModifierArguments (ModifierId , Name , Value)
    VALUES ('FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_MODIFIER_CPLMOD' , 'Amount' , '1');  
INSERT INTO TraitModifiers (TraitType , ModifierId)
    VALUES ('TRAIT_LEADER_LITHUANIAN_UNION' , 'TRAIT_LITHUANIANUNION_FOUND_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD');
INSERT INTO RequirementSets (RequirementSetId , RequirementSetType)
    VALUES ('PLAYER_FOUNDED_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD' , 'REQUIREMENTSET_TEST_ALL');  
INSERT INTO RequirementSetRequirements (RequirementSetId , RequirementId)
    VALUES ('PLAYER_FOUNDED_RELIGION_RELIC_CPLMOD' , 'REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_FOUNDED_A_RELIGION');

Instead of using 'REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_FOUNDED_A_RELIGION' , I could have used 'REQUIREMENT_PLAYER_FOUNDED_RELIGION_WITH_BELIEF' to test against any set of the belief classes 1 by 1 (and REQUIREMENTSET_TEST_ANY).

However, due to balance concerns I'm looking at doing it both upon founding and completing a religion instead of adding any non-Follower belief.

So the new question is this: is there any way I could check multiple RequirementSets at the same time?

Maybe REQUIREMENT_REQUIREMENTSET_IS_MET could be helpful, but I am not sure how to use it. I have found this in UnitAbilities.xml and its entry appears only once in the file:

<Row>
   <RequirementId>PLOT_IS_DESERT_OR_DESERT_HILLS_REQUIREMENT</RequirementId>
   <RequirementType>REQUIREMENT_REQUIREMENTSET_IS_MET</RequirementType>
</Row>

Yup, figured it out last night, that is the check. It is also used for units that have a bonus against class types (e.g. Spearman).

Given that nothing uses the desert check, I'm wondering if it was originally meant for Mamluks.

Oh, you are right! You can also find it in UnitPromotions.xml.
