Giving Plague as a trait.

[SonofPeverel]

Is it possible to give a character the plague through traits?

[Boustrophedon]

Interesting question. I think it might be possible because the plague is linked to an event. You would have to add it through a script though because there is no trigger for events when coding in EDCT.

Not sure though I'm more familiar with RTW anyways..

[SonofPeverel]

Yeah, I have not found a way to get the effects of the plague w/o scripting it to a city .

You could use a trait to generate a plague event at the characters location if they're in a settlement but that's about it.

How would that look?

How would that look?

This:

campaign_script:

	monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd EndedInSettlement
		and SettlementName Anorien
		and Trait Plague = 1
		add_events
			event plague plague_hits_minas_tirith
			date 0
			position 239, 128
		end_add_events
	terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

Or this:

	monitor_event CharacterTurnEndInSettlement SettlementName Anorien
		and Trait Plague = 1
		add_events
			event plague plague_hits_minas_tirith
			date 0
			position 239, 128
		end_add_events
	terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

And:

historic_events:

{PLAGUE_HITS_MINAS_TIRITH_BODY}Plague in Minas Tirith.
{PLAGUE_HITS_MINAS_TIRITH_TITLE}Plague

Thanks

So would I hv to write one for each settlement or could I make it plague any city that a general with that trait enters with one script?
And thanks alot...+rep when I get to my computer

you would need one for each settlement. Due to the script requiring a position to start the plague... This will unfortunately cause a lot of turn lag because you will be monitoring a character and his traits and every settlement that he could enter. With all my testing, monitoring any character through script causes the most lag. Where as scripts that dont monitor characters can be over 100,000 lines of script and cause no turn lag at all...

That's really good to know.

You could try doing it this way:

		add_events
			event plague plague_hits_minas_tirith

		end_add_events
	terminate_monitor
	end_monitor
