Problem with traits/ancillaries

**Mataputas** · January 01, 2011, 02:06 PM

I've been working on traits and ancillaries, and now, when trying to start a new campaign, the game KTM. Then, when I quit, I receive the following message:

I've checked the export_descr_ancillaries, and the ancillary "Crown" does exist.

The export_descr_character_traits.txt entry is the following:

Code:

;--------------------

Trigger Uncrowned_1
	WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

	Condition IsFactionLeader
		and Trait Uncrowned_king = 0
		and not FactionwideAncillaryExists Crown
		and not FactionType slave
		and not FactionType egypt

	Affects Uncrowned_king 1 Chance 100

;--------------------

The line that is reporting a problem is the one with the FactionwideAncillaryExists condition.

I've already checked the mod with ATVTW, and it is not reporting any problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I the "crown" anc spelled with a capital 'C' in EDA?

Try moving the anc line at the end of the conditions.

Conditions which check for ancillaries must be placed in EDA they cannot go into EDCT. The new version of ATVTW that I released on dec 24th should check for that, if the check isn't catching it let me know please. Just move the trigger, without altering anything into EDA and that error will disappear.

Oh, ok, I didn't know about the xmas present

I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Do you mean that I should move the whole trigger, which will affect a trait, to the EDA? Will it work?

EDIT: It seems to work fine, at least the error message is not showing up anymore. Thanks!

If you still want to test the presence of the Ancillary Crown simply give it an unused (ever) bonus IE + 1 Naval Command or something to the Crown and have the trigger as follows.

Code:

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

Trigger Uncrowned_1
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

    Condition IsFactionLeader
        and Trait Uncrowned_king = 0
        and Attribute NavalCommand = 0
         and not FactionType slave
        and not FactionType egypt

    Affects Uncrowned_king 1 Chance 100
