Problem with event counter

[Monkwarrior]

Hi.

I'm trying to make a script for a special campaign, and my first objective is to launch a historic event in the first turn with the possibility to choose between two options for the human player. I've been trying different methods to implement the kingdoms option of _accepted/_declined, but I cannot find the method to obtain a result.

This is the piece of script related with this subject:
At the beginning of the script I add this event (in the same way it is done in the teutonic campaign with the conversion of lithuania.

		add_events
			event counter desembarco_spain_accepted
			event counter desembarco_spain_declined
			date 0
		end_add_events

After that I define several counters for date control, nothing related with this question. Then I put:

	monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
		and I_TurnNumber = 0

		spawn_army 
bla,bla,bla
		end

		historic_event desembarco_spain true

	terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

After that there is a long piece of code related to dates and seasons that works perfectly.

The result: when I press the end button of the first turn (turn zero?) the spawn_army works, the historic event appears, but without options.

Any idea what is wrong with the script?:hmmm:

P.D.: I've been also testing the options kill_character, move_character, reposition_character, but none of them work properly, at least with characters from descr_strat, as the script is not able to recognize those characters (from system.log error report).:hmmm:

Do you have the counters in the same monitor as the historic_event line? Thats where it should be.

With the other commands, are you using console_command in front of them?

    monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
        and I_TurnNumber = 0
 
        spawn_army 
bla,bla,bla
        end
     add_events
            event counter desembarco_spain_accepted
            event counter desembarco_spain_declined
            date 0
        end_add_events
     historic_event desembarco_spain true
 
    terminate_monitor
    end_monitor

Tried and not working.

This was the first method I used, but just in case I've just tried it again.

Any problem with the syntax?:hmmm:
Any limit with the moment the event is fired? :hmmm:

Hello Monkwarrior!

		add_events
			event counter desembarco_spain_accepted
			event counter desembarco_spain_declined
			date 0
		end_add_events

The entry above is not necessary. I have no idea why CA have put that into their scripts.

I have only tried that command on 'FactionTurnStart' and 'CharacterTurnStart', and always with a specific faction.

Like this:

			historic_event desembarco_spain true factions { spain, }

This works flawless for me.


Cheers,
D.


P.S.: This works with Kingdoms only, but I guess you'll know that.

I cannot make it work.
Anyway, my idea for further options in the script wont work (I presumed that some old RTW commands would work in M2TW but I was wrong).

I'm going to change the starting point of the campaign.:hmmm:

Work in small steps, esecially when trying something new. Dont try the new thing and old commands and this and that all at once. Get one section working, then add the next.

There is a tutorial here by J@mes which is pretty good if you doing an event accept/decline
