Script Question: Event appear Localy?

[=NF= Vasileios_the2nd]

Hi.
It's been 9 months since my last works on scripting of Med2, and I am really really rusty. And even then, I wasnt that good.
My question is simple. I have an event, that appears currently to everyone. What is the proper script, in order to make it appear to only one individual faction of my choice?

To make it more clear, I want the event to occur always, but the message of the event I want to appear only to one faction. Any ideas?

Here is how the event occurs now:

    monitor_conditions I_TurnNumber = 0
        add_events
            event    historic scots_nearby_1
            date 0
         end_add_events
        
        terminate_monitor
    end_monitor
    
    monitor_conditions I_TurnNumber = 1
        add_events
            event    counter    scots_attack_1
             date    0
         end_add_events
        
        terminate_monitor
    end_monitor
    
    monitor_event EventCounter EventCounterType scots_attack_1
        and EventCounter > 0

        if I_EventCounter scots_attack_1 == 1

            add_events
                event    historic scots_attack_1
                 date 0
                position    51, 314
             end_add_events
                
            spawn_army 
                faction scotland
                character    DavidII of Scotland, named character, age 22, x 63, y 311, family

You can use conditions like these:

and FactionIsLocal
and FactionType moomins

[=NF= Vasileios_the2nd]

These conditions will determine wether the event will occur or not.
I want the event to occur no matter what, but I want the message that pops to appear only to the faction of England.

when you call the event put the faction name in the call...

historic_event scots_attack_1 england

The above event will only show for england

Ive never used the add_events and end_add_events. You can simply just call the event without declaring anything. I usually use other monitors, and other in game conditions, to determine when an event will fire and use an event_counter to track that. Then i use that event_counter to determine when the event will actually be called.


This is from the docudemons;

Identifier: historic_event
Parameters: event type, accept/decline scroll, movie_path, factions
Description: Triggers historic event. If accept/decline, increments a [event]_accepted or [event]_declined counter on selection.
Sample use: historic_event stoic_philosophy true faction/stoic_philosophy.bik
Class: HISTORIC_EVENT

The line in bold is optional except event type. 'historic_event blah' is sufficient for an event named 'blah' to fire. You can opt to add whether it is an accept/decline event,movie event, and/or what specific factions will see the event.

Unfortunatelly I am modding a med2.exe mod. I have cursed many times this decision while scripting, but can't be helped.
I think I have figured how to do it. It's stupid, but will probably work.

[=NF= Vasileios_the2nd]

Problem solved. Via complicated but stupidly easy scripting.
I eventually used the conditions taiji said. I had forgotten how historic and non historic event calls work, my bad.
Thank you very much.

You're welcome

It also occurs that I_LocalFaction could be useful, and we can 'if' statement any script where the conditions do not require some info from the event.

If I_TurnNumber blahblah and not I_LocalFaction suchandsuch then execute event.

So that way you can stick the trigger for the event into any event monitor as long as it has no conditions that you don't want. It would slightly reduce code, reduce monitors by at least 1, and (the reason I mention it) avoid multiple triggers firing simultaneously. If you have another monitor which could fire an event popup at the exact same time as this one, it might fail to do so.

Anyway, just a suggestion
