Help?

[Calisthenis of Dyrrachium]

I'm trying to create a garrison script for Ancyra. I put a script in data\scripts\show_me, added lines in export_advice.txt and export_descr_advice.txt (you can see them in the content box), but when I attack Ancyra and hold the siege for 1 turn, nothing happens! What's gone wrong?

Code

script declare_show_me suspend_unscripted_advice true if I_SettlementOwner Ancyra = slavs and not I_MapName xgm\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Galatians\descr_strat.txt console_command create_unit Ancyra "warband galatian" 4 4 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "warband galatian" 2 4 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb heavy spearmen gaul" 3 3 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb naked fanatics" 3 4 1 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb archer" 2 5 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "merc heavy cavalry galatian" 2 6 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb beserker gaul" 2 8 2 2 end_if if I_SettlementOwner Ancyra = gauls and I_MapName xgm\data\world\maps\camapaign\custom\Galatians\descr_strat.txt console_command create_unit Ancyra "warband galatian" 4 4 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "warband galatian" 2 4 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb heavy spearmen gaul" 3 3 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb naked fanatics" 3 4 1 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb archer" 2 5 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "merc heavy cavalry galatian" 2 6 2 2 console_command create_unit Ancyra "barb beserker gaul" 2 8 2 2 end_if wait 3 suspend_unscripted_advice false end_script ¬------------------- {Garrison_Ancyra_Text_01_Title} Ancyra calls its citizens to arms! {Garrison_Ancyra_Text_01_Text1} Faced with invasion, Ancyra is arming its citizens to defend the city.

Have you set up the triggers?

[Calisthenis of Dyrrachium]

No. Where do I find them?

[DimeBagHo]

In the second half of export_descr_advice.txt. The top of the file contains the definitions of the advice threads. After that there's a bunch of triggers that determine when the advice threads are activated. The triggers for the garrisons are somewhat complicated. You need to make a quite a lot of them: two for each faction that you want to be able to trigger the garrison, one for family members and one for lesser generals.

and I_CharacterTypeNearTile dacia general, 2 137,151

What does the first number mean?

[DimeBagHo]

The first number is the maximum distance between the location (the other two numbers), and the character, for the trigger to activate. If you set it to 1 then some squares around the city might not activate the trigger.

And the other two numbers are the co-ordinates of the city?

[DimeBagHo]

And the other two numbers are the co-ordinates of the city?

Yes. You can use a console command to get locations. Place the pointer over the city, then bring up the command console with the ~ key, and type 'show_cursorstat' (without the quotes).
