Hello guys, want I am trying to achieve:
 
Turn Rohan Allies ability from the Gondor Science Tree into passive. So that it allow to purchase Rohirrims from Gondor Stables instead of summoning Rohirrims out of nowhere.
 
I have made several tries, but the best result I could achieve is as follows:
 
1. You build the stables
2. You purchase the spell (after the purchase, the spell is shown as an active button at the left of the screen)
3. You need to click on the stables and then click on the Rohirrim summoning button
 
This is not what I wanted to achieve. I want this to work like elven gifts ability, but allow building rohirrims from stables.
 
After someexperimetns, I have ended up with completely not working code that looks like this:

 

commandbutton.ini

CommandButton Command_PurchaseSpellRohanAllies

    Command = PURCHASE_SCIENCE
    ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE 
    ButtonImage = SBGood_RohanAllies 
    Science = SCIENCE_RohanAllies
    TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SummonRohanAllies
    DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipSummonRohanAllies
   CommandTrigger = Command_SpellBookRohanAllies 
End

 

CommandButton Command_ConstructRohanRohirrimHorde
  Command = UNIT_BUILD
   Object = RohanRohirrimHorde
   Options = CANCELABLE NEED_UPGRADE 
   NeededUpgrade = Upgrade_RohanAllies ;Upgrade_GondorStableLevel2
   TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructRohanRohirrimHorde
   ButtonImage = BGStables_Rohirrim
   ButtonBorderType    = BUILD 
   DescriptLabel        = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildRohanRohirrimHorde
   Radial = Yes
   InPalantir     = Yes
   ShowProductionCount = Yes      
   LacksPrerequisiteLabel = TOOLTIP:LackLevel2Stables
End

 

CommandButton Command_SpellBookRohanAllies
    Command = SPELL_BOOK
    SpecialPower = SpellBookRohanAllies
    ButtonImage = SBGood_RohanAllies
    Options = NONPRESSABLE;NEED_TARGET_POS ; Huh, you can't have this flag and a radius cursor: CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
    TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SummonRohanAllies
    DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipSummonRohanAllies
End

 

system.ini

 

Behavior = PlayerUpgradeSpecialPower ModuleTag_SummonRohans
   SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookRohanAllies
   UpgradeName = Upgrade_RohanAllies
   UpdateModuleStartsAttack = No
   AffectAllies = No ; Should not try to affect ally units
   AvailableAtStart = No
   RequirementsFilterMPSkirmish = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER
   RequirementsFilterStrategic = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER_STRATEGIC
End

 

 

specialpower.ini 

 

SpecialPower SpellBookRohanAllies
   Enum = SPECIAL_SPELL_BOOK_ROHAN_ALLIES
   RequiredSciences = SCIENCE_RohanAllies
   ReloadTime      = 0 ;SPELL_RECHARGE_TIME_TIER_3 ; in milliseconds
   Flags = RESPECT_RECHARGE_TIME_DISCOUNT
End

I am afraid that I do not get how the whole structure should work. My guess was that Command_SpellBookRohanAllies some how should trigger the Upgrade_RohanAllies (which apparently happens when you press the "Command_SpellBookRohanAllies" button). But I don't get how exactly it happens.

 

The second thing I cannot understand is that CommandTrigger = Command_SpellBookRohanAllies statement from the "Command_PurchaseSpellRohanAllies" should cause the "Command_SpellBookRohanAllies" to get pressed (it seems to be logical)

 

Do I need to make some changes in the attributemodifier.ini ? A lot of spells have modifier lists there, but it seems that this one mostly contains buffs and debuffs stuff. 

 

What I also wanted to know what actually "Enum = SPECIAL_SPELL_BOOK_ROHAN_ALLIES" line from specialpower.ini  is for (what does it do)

And same for "SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookRohanAllies" from system.ini
