traits for sacking settlements

**Hunter Makoy** · October 31, 2008, 01:08 AM

i'm trying to create a trait who's trigger only fires if a settlement is sacked and it is atleast a large town.

i have it set up as

---------------------
trigger sackall
whentotest sacksettlement

condition IsGeneral
and settlementbuildingexists >= wooden_wall

affects citysack 1 chance 100

i've been testing it out but nothing seems to work. how would i go about doing this?

I think the trigger should be somewhat different. Like GeneralCaptureSettlement or something. Not sure, not having docudemons with me.

ok that might be correct, i forgot about that one. i'll try it with that in there instead of isgeneral and see how it goes.

i switched it to generalcaptures settlement, and it stll didn't work. so then i made it so that the only condition was the for wooden_wall, because in the game for extermination it doesn't say anything about the general doing it. but it still didn't work. i think the problem is with the settlementbuildingexists >= wooden_wall part. will it understand it as a requirement for the settlement sacked?

i need to make this so that the sacker only gets the trait if the city is large enough. and i dont know any other way.

i am also trying to have a trait for when a general goes into a certain region (like the london region) he gets a trait, regardles sof wat he does there, just for being there. any thoughts on how to do that?

You have to use events from the docudemons. Also, capitalization matters. Pick one from the list of events and copy it exactly.

yeah i know about capitalization and stuff, i just didn't do it here for time. i've found all those in the docudemons, but i cant find a good example for how to stick those together to make that work.

I wrote something a long time ago about events and conditions and how to put them together. Its written for scripting but applies to traits and triggers as well. That will probably help you, but if not I also just posted the registration thread in the Uni for Basic Modding.
