next my try

[attyla]

Hi again
i didn't surrender and made next try with scripts. Because i have made some successful try i made naxt try of script changing the religion.
It looks like this:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart
add_events
event counter byzantium_conversion_accepted
event counter byzantium_conversion_declined
date 0
end_add_events

terminate_monitor
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType byzantium
and I_TurnNumber = 2
historic_event byzantium_conversion true factions { byzantium, }
terminate_monitor
end_monitor
monitor_conditions I_EventCounter byzantium_conversion_accepted = 1
set_religion byzantium catholic
retire_characters byzantium priest
change_population_religion byzantium catholic 75 orthodox
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

Unfortunately there's something wrong, but i can't understand what log file shows as a mistake.
can someone check it and tell me what can be wrong?

'monitor_event FactionTurnStart' needs a condition. Event monitors always have a condition.

[TNZ]

'monitor_event FactionTurnStart' needs a condition. Event monitors always have a condition.

attyla: The good news is that you don’t need the first bit of that script any way:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart
add_events
event counter byzantium_conversion_accepted
event counter byzantium_conversion_declined
date 0
end_add_events

terminate_monitor
end_monitor

[Taiji]

Judging from the log, you've not yet created an entry for byzantium_conversion in data\text\historic_events.txt. The event is firing fine but it looks like the text entry for the event is missing.

[attyla]

TNZ
Are you sure? it wont work without this part of script.

Taji
You was right. Strange because i was sure i made it too

[Gigantus]

The first bit was creating a counter, but what you needed was an event_counter in this case (accept and decline).
As TNZ pointed out: it is not necessary to create an event_counter beforehand. By either accepting or declining the byzantium_conversion historic event the event_counter (accept or declined) will be created automatically and set to 1. The same holds true for any event_counter.

[attyla]

so why it doesn't work without this first part?

[Taiji]

so why it doesn't work without this first part?

I think TNZ is right, it should work fine without it

[Gigantus]

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType byzantium
and I_TurnNumber = 2
historic_event byzantium_conversion true factions { byzantium, }
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

monitor_event I_EventCounter byzantium_conversion_accepted = 1
and I_EventCounter byzantium_conversion_accepted > 0
set_religion byzantium catholic
retire_characters byzantium priest
change_population_religion byzantium catholic 75 orthodox
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

Also you don't need a condition, some of the kingdoms campaign scripts have monitors without a condition, but you should include one. If you don't actually want to check anything just use the TrueCondition condition.

[Taiji]

I stand corrected, FactioTurnStart doesn't seem to need one.

[attyla]

I've reworked bulgarian faction to faction spawned during the game. I've made it on the base of mongols faction from vanilla. Unfortunately iśve made something wrong because script doesn't work.

What made i wrong?

[CavalryCmdr]

If you are making them spawn with just an army during play, you need to give them "horde" capability.

If you do not want them to turn into a horde when thier last town is destroyed, use this:

[attyla]

i've added it, but the faction still doesn't appear.

[Gigantus]

Have you tried to use your script entry on it's own?

script

restrict_strat_radar false ; to check if the script fired - no radar map restriction = srcipt fires

Your campaign_script entry from the post before goes here

wait_monitors
end_script

and delete the marked entry in both instances:

...
traits ....
army
unit Bulgarian Bodyguard exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
....

[attyla]

i completly don't know what you mean. What should i change in my script or somewhere else? You mean i should erase characters traits or "army" word only?

I've erased "army" commands in script, but it still doesn't work.

[CavalryCmdr]

Remove the word "army"

[attyla]

as i wrote i removed the world "army" and it changed nothing. Normans faction still doesn't appear.

[attyla]

OK I have some informations by log file:

16:14:31.593 [game.script] [error] Script parsing error at line 12, column 37 in mods/Deus_Vult/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt

What does it mean?

[irishron]

Is the name at that location in the script in the names.txt and descr_names.txt?
