CharacterSelect

Has anyone else had problems scripting with this event? It's not firing with any of the conditions I assign.

Any examples?

Code:

 
monitor_event CharacterSelect
      and IsGeneral
      console_command toggle_fow
end_monitor

Here's an idea of what I'm trying to do, obviously not indented properly.

end_monitor

Did you try:

Code:

monitor_event CharacterSelected IsGeneral
    console_command toggle_fow
end_monitor

Yes, unfortunately I tried this as well. No joy. Thanks for catching my Selected, I'm pretty sure I had it the right way in the file.

What happens? Does nothing happen, or does the game CTD? What does the log say?

How about using "AgentType = general" instead of "IsGeneral" ?

It seems you had a syntax error of having "CharacterSelect" instead of "CharacterSelected"!

That was a problem in what I typed on the forum, not in the actual script. I retyped it instead of cut and paste, like I normally do. And that is not the current problem. Thanks anyway.
