How to eliminate a faction using the script???

i need help.. how can you kill a faction using the script... so that it can be killed in a certain turn????

Try this:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType roman_julii
              and I_TurnNumber = 666
  console_command kill_faction roman_julii
  terminate_monitor
end_monitor

ok great.. um should that be inserted at the last part of the script at the buttom or it can be anywhere???

Script structure I try to follow:
- counter declarations
- timer declarations
- monitors
- all the other logic, like 4tpy script, etc.

Btw, if you're using the 4tpy script and the only thing you want to tie it to is the turn number, you don't even need a monitor. Just find the spot before the while loop for the turn you want, and add it right there:

...

while I_TurnNumber = 665
end_while

if I_TurnNumber = 666
  ;advance_advice_thread julius_caesar_stabbed        ; "And you, Brutus?!"
  ;suspend_unscripted_advice true
  console_command kill_faction roman_julii
end_if

while I_TurnNumber = 666
end_while

...

The if-check around it is there in case the script is restarted after you load a saved game and the game is already past that turn, so it doesn't try to do it again.

yes i might be using 4tpy..should insert it before while or after?? kind a confuse.. there two wile


console_command date -53
