Lesson 1

**Odoaker** · June 21, 2009, 01:21 PM

We will be taking screen shots for when historic_events fire. You really need a working mod folder.

Alright, I will instal the game.

**Pendragon** · June 21, 2009, 06:53 PM

I have a problem: My PC has crashed, it's the only Computer I have that will run TW. It should be fixed soon, but I'll be behind on the lessons.

**★Bandiera Rossa☭** · June 21, 2009, 08:21 PM

well here is my try.. I copied it from my campaign script in N++ so I do not know if formating is 100%

;Campaign Script
;Slurricane-for class (money scripts)
;script=

;add money to timurids if under 10k
monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType timurids

and Treasury < 100000

end_monitor

;Add money england

In the first two monitors your > and < are backwards, other than that it looks good.

Nope, but I don't see why it wouldn't work as specified. You will need to tailor an easily observable situation and do something like fire an event to see if it works as intended. For instance load a faction, check their expenditures in Turn 1. Recruit some units and see how much goes to it. Then do the math and use a number a bit lower than that as the condition parameter. Have it fire a historic event as the command so you know it worked.

I don't see a problem with the script itself. Are you saying that the script fires and you get the money but then the next turn when you hit end turn it crashes?

As Bucket of Lithium said, the event and first condition need to be on the same line as the monitor. In the economic boom monitor you need to capitalize Treasury and should only have one and before FactionIncome. In the useless monitor you should have FactionIncome instead of faction income and console_command instead of console command.

Relatively. add_money is a Kingdoms command so it should be said that anyone running M2 needs to use the console_command variety. I'm not sure if that's an actual script intended to be in TLK, if it is I'd recommend you look into the possibility of locking the console as I seem to recall a command for that, as opposed to that method which could hurt a player not cheating(keep in mind it also won't stop cheating, since the player can keep adding money and spend it that turn or just out-add the subtraction). I don't frown at cheating though, but that's up to the people making the mod.

the stop the cheater thing isn't going in the mod it was only a trial script which worked for this lesson, so i added it in. It is a kingdoms mod so i used a kingdoms command, i don't see whats the problem

**Killerbee** · June 22, 2009, 07:34 AM

It looks good , shouldn't give any errors or stuff

Only 1 note :

When you have 20.001 coins , you'll lose 19K , and all that rest is 1.001 coins

**Romanos IV** · June 22, 2009, 07:40 AM

Cool, isn't it?

**Killerbee** · June 22, 2009, 07:41 AM

Sure is

is it possible to have a port blocked event?

Edit: sorry just say the right tread for this question

It's a little small but I hope it's good.

Code:

;
;campaign script
;script

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType france
 and FactionIsLocal
 and Treasury >1000
 console_command add_money england 10000
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd Faction Type poland
 and not FactionIsLocal
 and Treasury >100
 console_command add_money hre 2500
end_monitor

monitor-event FactionTurnStart FactionType hre
 and FactionIsLocal
 console_command add_money venice 900

end_script

There's a few issues with this one besides the one GED mentioned:

1) You commented out(with ; ) script at the top. That's a command that needs to run so the script is initialized, so the script in current form should never initialize.

2) You don't have the command wait_monitors above end_script.

3) In the second monitor you have Faction Type which should be FactionType (without spaces). Scripting is very particular about capitals and spaces and underscores. It's also very particular about exactly using the wording of the DocuDemon, you will find a few with mis-spelled words(like Seige), but you must use Seige as that's what it is registered as.

4) The conditions utilizing an operator(>, <, >=, <=, ==) should be separated on either side by a space, or it's possible the game will not parse it properly. So Treasury >100 should be Treasury > 100 and so on.

You also commented out script at the top of the file, and need to add wait_monitors between end_monitor and end_script at the end of the file.

There's no problem with using a Kingdoms command, I noted it for the benefit of other users who, if they don't use Kingdoms, should not be using that command in place of the console command.

Good except for two things, you're missing end_monitor on the last two monitors.

Good except you have an extra n(add_monney) on the second monitor.

-------------------------------------------------------

As an aside, I encourage all users to make sure their scripts work in-game. If they don't work, before telling us they don't work, go back through your scripts and see if you can find what's wrong with them. 9 times out of 10 your problem will be having misspelled an event, condition, or command. Double-check the DocuDemons for the exact spelling(including capitalization and underscores), insure you start and close off all your monitors, insure you start and end the script including wait_monitors, and insure that if you tried to play with a new condition the exports/requirements match up. We can keep pointing out the problems most of the time, but learning to be tolerable to debugging your own scripts after finding they don't work as intended, perhaps multiple times, is integral to being a good scripter.

After Lesson 1 I'm not going to point out these types of mistakes but will instead say how many mistakes there are, potentially where, and ask you to debug it. I'll still point out any issues that are of an advanced nature.

Sorry for (accidental) spamming

Still the issue that GED mentioned, last monitor should be monitor_event rather than monitor-event. Otherwise I don't see any problems.

Fixed, and sorry for being so slow today

**Killerbee** · June 22, 2009, 09:35 AM

Lol , still no good

You have :

wait_monitorsend_script

while it should be :

wait_monitors
end_script

On seperate lines
