need help with scripting

**attyla** · January 04, 2011, 04:10 AM

i've read all about scripting but i'm afrait i don't get it at all

I want to copy script changing lithuanian religion from teutonic to my mod but i can't even recognize it.

i guess it could be it:

;show the whole map

;setup some event counters

end_monitor

Unfortunately i have no idea what this sctipt doing. Can someone translate it for me?
For example I can see that script disbanding pagan units but i don't know how units are signifited as pagan.

May i ask for help with this?

**Taiji** · January 04, 2011, 06:26 AM

;3 - Disband the pagan units
retire_characters Lithuania priest
destroy_units Lithuania pagan_unit

Check those 2 commands in docudemon_commands.txt, it will be obvious that religion is not specified.

A 'lithuanian priest' is probably a pagan priest. That is how the script affects lithuanian pagan priests.

The destroy command is using a unit label. So any unit which can only be recruited with a specified pagan percentage in the region can have that 'pagan_unit' unit attribute, and so be able to get destroyed when the faction switches to another religion. The alternative would be naming each unit to be destroyed.

(Wrong forum BTW)

**Ishan** · January 04, 2011, 03:16 PM

I have used this script in my mod what is you want to understand attyla?

**attyla** · January 05, 2011, 08:29 AM

the simplier answer is "all", but i know it means nothing

And this is my problem. I need answers but i need questions too

I simply have no idea what should i asking about.
I don't know what and when this script changes and i don't know should i changing this script or making simply copy and paste into my mod.

I have one more problem. Teutonic mod contains traits for pagan characters and i don't know how to move it into my mod. I've tried to copy export_descr_character_traits and export_vnvs, but after this game crasches and log shows a lot of errors in EDCT wchich i cant fix because anouncements from log doesn't corresponding with EDCT etries or i can't read it properly.

**AJStoner** · January 05, 2011, 01:13 PM

log shows a lot of errors in EDCT wchich i cant fix because anouncements from log doesn't corresponding with EDCT etries

A lot of times when you add something the program doesn't like it reports errors on things you never touched. It's the log being nuts, not you. I worked with the religon changing thing quite a bit, I'll post here the script I use to change Ireland (using SS6.2) to Pagan. Maybe it'll help you see what you need to finf:

end_monitor

Note that this script allows a one-time oppertunity to convert, as opposed to the Tutonic script where multiple oppertunities are given. Also there are two Historic Events that need to be added for this: The "Pagan_Conversion" which allows the conversion to take place and the "Irish_Convert" which announces the event to other factions. Hope this is helpful.

i don't know why but this script looks much more clear. Thanx a lot!

what is the name of conversion event in your script i can use in EDB?

This is my version of AJStoner script:

i'm using condition

and event_counter catholic_lithuania 1

in EDB but it doesn't work. What's wrong?

**Taiji** · January 06, 2011, 09:05 AM

You'd need to end turn to see it have an effect in EDB.

The event counter has to change at prefactionturnstart at the very latest in order for it to affect EDB in the same turn.

**attyla** · January 06, 2011, 09:24 AM

Taji
I know that, but i'm using two commands:

Code:

and event_counter catholic_lithuania 1

and

Code:

and not event_counter catholic_lithuania 1

in EDB
i'm using it as a condition to building temples.
One of them should work. I mean one of temples (pagan or catholic) should be available to building.

**Taiji** · January 06, 2011, 09:40 AM

So what exactly is the problem?

You can't build _____ temple after clicking accept?

Which of those 2 restrictions did you place on ______ temple?

**attyla** · January 06, 2011, 10:08 AM

the problem is - i cannot build any temples

**Taiji** · January 06, 2011, 10:27 AM

Try putting this at the start of your script:

set_event_counter catholic_lithuania 0

**attyla** · January 06, 2011, 10:49 AM

doesn't work

**Taiji** · January 06, 2011, 11:03 AM

Show us your EDB entries, something must be wrong there.

A 'not event counter' won't work in EDB, you also have a religion min of 51% for the lowest level and the script only makes lithuanias provinces 20%

It doesn't work with the recruitment_pool line, but it works with the building line, not sure about the rest of the capabilities line.
The counter has to be 1:
and not event_counter you_name_it 1

**boboav** · January 06, 2011, 12:57 PM

Yes, delete all the and event_counter catholic_lithuania 1 and increse the religion bonus of the conversion

**attyla** · January 06, 2011, 01:04 PM

it doesn't make sens. 20% concerns catholic religion only but i cannot build pagan temples too!

And one more thing: "and not event_counter" works properly in another structures.

When you click 'accept' is when the problem starts?
