About Mongols invasion

[Elvasat]

as I work on script, i noticed that some intersting things in mongol invasion. Can anyone who is experienced on scripting, explain it why?

;-- Mongols invasions --
monitor_event EventCounter EventCounterType mongols_invasion_warn
and EventCounter > 0
; ADD SCOUTING INVASION
add_events
event counter mongols_invasion
date 4 8
end_add_events
if I_EventCounter mongols_invasion_warn == 2
terminate_monitor
end_if
end_monitor


Why this is like that?

I_EventCounter mongols_invasion_warn == 2


as i know EventCounter can be 0 or sth but why scripter put tihs 2 there and why not 1.


and scripter opened there a if segment for enter I_EventCounter


can it be possible like this?




;-- Mongols invasions --
monitor_event EventCounter EventCounterType mongols_invasion_warn
and I_EventCounter mongols_invasion_warn == 2


; ADD SCOUTING INVASION
add_events
event counter mongols_invasion
date 4 8
end_add_events


terminate_monitor
end_monitor

or just simple

;-- Mongols invasions --
monitor_event EventCounter EventCounterType mongols_invasion_warn


; ADD SCOUTING INVASION
add_events
event counter mongols_invasion
date 4 8
end_add_events


terminate_monitor
end_monitor


in second monitor scripter is adding once again mongols_invasion and adjusting to 2. In first monitor, scrpter adjust it 4-8. why it is adjusting there again?


monitor_event EventCounter EventCounterType mongols_invasion
and EventCounter > 0
if I_EventCounter mongols_invasion == 1
add_events
;;; SCOUTING INVASION
event emergent_faction mongols
date 0
; region Tbilisi_Province
region Yerevan_Province
region Bulgar_Province
region Sarkel_Province
region Baghdad_Province
movie event/mongols_invade.bik
;ADD MONGOL INVASION 1
event counter mongols_invasion
date 2
end_add_events
end_if

in follow-through, what does the number (30) mean there? Others i think, coordinates.


if I_EventCounter mongols_invasion == 2

;Sarkel
if I_CharacterTypeNearTile mongols named_character, 30 258, 134
set_counter mongols_sarkel 1

[Gigantus]

if I_CharacterTypeNearTile mongols named_character, 30 258, 134

Checks if the character is within 30 tiles of the given co-ordinate.

I_EventCounter mongols_invasion_warn == 2

An event_counter can be any value. If memory serves, then there are several 'add_event' instances with 'mongol_invasions'. Each will add to the count.

event counter mongols_invasion
date 2

In the add_event function you can set how many turns counting from the fulfillment of the trigger the event will happen. In this case it will be 2 turns.
