Anyone could help me with this trigger?

**bobos** · March 09, 2009, 09:19 PM

I want to add a new morale punish system into M2TW, once a character executed prisoners he will get a terrible morale punishment and bad trait,
this will keep players from pointless prisoner slaughtering without thinking, so i made up a trigger and a trait then added them into export_descr_character_traits.txt(i also added the new descriptions into file export_vnvs.txt for new trait), but when i start a brand new campaign to test this trigger, it seems no working:hmmm:.
trait likes below:

Code:

Trait MoralePunish
    Characters family
    
    Level Prisoner_murder
        Description Prisoner_murder_desc
        EffectsDescription Prisoner_murder_effects_desc
        Threshold  1 
        Effect TroopMorale  -1 
        Effect MovementPoints  -5
    Level Prisoner_killer
        Description Prisoner_killer_desc
        EffectsDescription Prisoner_killer_effects_desc
        Threshold  2
        Effect TroopMorale  -4 
        Effect Unrest  2 
        Effect MovementPoints  -10
    Level Prisoner_slaughterer
        Description Prisoner_slaughterer_desc
        EffectsDescription Prisoner_slaughterer_effects_desc
        Threshold  3 
        Effect TroopMorale  -8 
        Effect Unrest  6 
        Effect MovementPoints  -12
    Level Unforgivable_sinner
        Description Unforgivable_sinner_desc
        EffectsDescription Unforgivable_sinner_effects_desc
        Threshold  4
        Effect TroopMorale  -100 
        Effect Unrest  100 
        Effect MovementPoints  -20

And here is the trigger:

Code:

Trigger morale_punish1
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor
    Condition RansomType execute
    and NumCapturedSoldiers < 400
    and Trait MoralePunish = 0

Trigger morale_punish2
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor

    and NumCapturedSoldiers < 1000
    and Trait MoralePunish = 0
    
    Affects MoralePunish  2  Chance  100
    
Trigger morale_punish3
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor

    and Trait MoralePunish < 4
    
    Affects MoralePunish  1  Chance  100

    Condition RansomType execute

    and Trait MoralePunish = 0
    
    Affects MoralePunish  4  Chance  100
Trigger morale_punish8
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor
    Condition RansomType execute
    and NumCapturedSoldiers >= 1500
    and Trait MoralePunish = 1
    
    Affects MoralePunish  3  Chance  100
    
Trigger morale_punish9
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor
    Condition RansomType execute
    and NumCapturedSoldiers >= 1500
    and Trait MoralePunish = 2
    
    Affects MoralePunish  2  Chance  100 
Trigger morale_punish10
    WhenToTest FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor
    Condition RansomType execute
    and NumCapturedSoldiers >= 1500
    and Trait MoralePunish = 3
    
    Affects MoralePunish  1  Chance  100

Is there any thing wrong with my script??

The 'FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor' trigger only activates when the Faction's Leader captures prisoners. It does not active when anyone else chooses to release, ransom, or kill prisoners.

thanks, i just figured that out, i used 'GeneralPrisonersRansomedCaptor' instead and it works

becoz CA's docudemon got me misunderstanding

Code:

Identifier:         FactionLeaderPrisonersRansomedCaptor 
Event:             A captor faction has made a ransom decision
Exports:            nc_character_record, character_record, faction, region_id, character_type, religion, target_faction, target_religion, captured_faction_info, ransom_type
Class:              ET_FACTION_LEADER_PRISONERS_RANSOMED_CAPTOR

Hey this here is actually a nice idea. I assume that MoralePunish is your own custom Trait which penalizes battle morale? What do you do to prevent it from staying permanently?

I just want it staying permanently

That means you can execute prisoners when it's number is lesser than 400 and you only get a slight negative effect from doing that(-1 TroopMorale) so it's absolutely acceptable, but once it's greater than 400, more you did more severe permanently and unforgivable punishment you will get

, this will turn your general to a totally badass, no one will follow him

Just pointing out here that in the triggers section, having "effect PunishMorale 4" adds four points towards gaining the PunishMorale trait. It does not put you at the 4th level for PunishMorale.
