Stats by Rank / Promotion

[1eyedking]

Hi everyone, long time lurker here. I've tried searching for this solution but haven't been able to find it anywhere, so here goes my query to the more knowledgeable people:

I'm trying to script a mod where soldiers have fixed stats defined by rank or promotion automatically, but so far I haven't been able to pinpoint the variables for scripting this in.

Can this be done at all?

Any help is greatly appreciated

If I am not mistaken, you could do this without scripting by using soldier transformation.
You could have soldier transformations bound to a specific rank and give the resulting soldiers specific stats.

I read some documentation about soldierTransformation, but stats are a bonus and not a fixed set amount. They're not automatic either

Is there a way to make stats fixed (rather than a +bonus) and apply changes automatically for each promotion?

I've made a small mod with the following changes, may speed up someone's modding who wants to do something similar:

• All soldiers start with fixed average stats = (min+max)/2. Soldiers can't increase stats beyond next promotion's limit, incentivizing to transform immediately after promotion. File: soldiers.rul
• Soldiers increase their stats with rank. Higher rank bonuses overrule lower rank bonuses. Stats increase lineally towards the maximum cap, reached at Commander rank. File: stats_rank.rul

Still there must be a way for this to be made cleaner/automatic via scripting

Any help is welcome!!

Edit: Added TFTD version as well, fixed some issues. Added contingency stats-1 stats+1 transformations in case soldiers not promoting automatically.
