Advisor pops up before every battle

**Spartan 666** · August 28, 2011, 03:31 AM

Hi all!

I have a problem in DTW, the advisor pops up every time before a battle, when the scroll with odds and forces in the field comes up. The advisor comes with the background script message. I have posted here the background script and the export_descr_advice I have, maybe some exper in scripting will figure out why it behaves like that...

Thanks in advance

I looked at it but I can´t find the error? Do you use Squids Tool to validate scripts?

If not, click
it is very useful and can find the error.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

EDIT: the tool found a number of "errors", but they aren't related to my issue. It says conditions such as "factiontype" and "treasury" are unknown.

Those should be in cammel-case.

What is advisor verbosity set to in game preferences?

I'm afraid the verbosity doesn't matter, because even setting it to 0 doesn't fix the issue.

Mmm... I don't think this is really anything with advice threads, but rather that you're not terminating the background script before reloading.

It happens also when you start the game and a new campaign, with no scripts previously running...

The next thing that comes to mind is that triggers for the ButtonPressed event maybe a bit too generic.

Code:

Trigger BK_Script_Thread_Trigger_3
    WhenToTest ButtonPressed
    Condition I_MapName DTW/data/world/maps/campaign/alexander/descr_strat.txt
    AdviceThread BK_Script_Thread 1

and similar ones for the provincial campaigns below. Try limiting them to specific buttons. For example:

Code:

Trigger BK_Script_Thread_Trigger_3
    WhenToTest ButtonPressed
    Condition ButtonPressed faction_button
    and I_MapName DTW/data/world/maps/campaign/alexander/descr_strat.txt
    AdviceThread BK_Script_Thread 1

In RTR, we use separate triggers for faction_button, construction_button, and recruitment_button.
