I_NumberOfSettlements

[attyla]

This is a script:

monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
    if FactionIsLocal byzantium

        and not EndedInSettlement
        and not IsBesieging
        and not AgentType = admiral
        and not AgentType = spy
        and not AgentType = diplomat
        and not AgentType = assassin
        and not AgentType = priest
        and not AgentType = princess
        and not AgentType = merchant    
        and InEnemyLands

        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 5
            console_command add_money -100
        end_if
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 10
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 5
            console_command add_money -200
        end_if
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 15
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 10
            console_command add_money -300
        end_if
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 20
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 20
            console_command add_money -400
        end_if
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 25
            console_command add_money -500
        end_if
    end_if 

And this is a log:

15:41:22.875 [game.script] [error] Script execution error for <if>, at line 74, in mods/oikoumene/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt: 
<faction> is unavailable from event <>
when testing <FactionIsLocal> condition 

i suppose i cannot use I_NumberOfSettlements with. Has someone any idea how to get this problem around?

[ilmrik]

Ugh, I thought I had the mistake, then I thought I hadn't and edited my post but I was correct the first time round lol. Me and my rash acts! Either way:

it's not the "I_NumberOfSettlements" that one is correct.

but the
"FactionIsLocal = byzantium" as it needs an export of the monitor and can't be used in an "if" statement
for use in an "if" statement either use
"I_LocalFaction == byzantium" or "not I_FactionAIControlled byzantium"

[attyla]

I have no problem with

if FactionIsLocal byzantium 

I have problem with

if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 5 

What do you think - may i use "while" loop instead "if"?

[attyla]

As you suggested I changed

if I_FactionIsLocal byzantium 

to

If I_LocalFaction == byzantium 

but log says: "faction type not recognised".

[Taiji]

You can't have FactionIsLocal in an if statement, as Ilmrik has quite rightly pointed out.

edit:

As you suggested I changed

if I_FactionIsLocal byzantium 

to

If I_LocalFaction == byzantium 

but log says: "faction type not recognised".

== should be = with I_LocalFaction.

[attyla]

i replased "==" to "=". No changes. Log still informs that "faction type not recognised".

[ilmrik]

My bad, it's without the "=" so maybe try that first.

If I_LocalFaction byzantium  

If that still refuses to work try the

If not I_FactionAIControlled byzantium  

I've used it several times and I never had any problems with it tbh. Maybe give the log entry again if this all fails. Since the one in the OP definetly refers to the "if FactionIsLocal" line.

EDIT: Yes, it's a typo. Woops ^.^

[Taiji]

It's doing that for a reason... lol You'll work it out

[Emperor of Hell]

you should write if instead of If

[attyla]

I'm back
As i said i have no problems with checking who is the local faction. I have problem with I_NumberOfSettlements.

log tells me now that "<character record> is unavailable from event <>" and it applies to line using I_NumberOfSettlements.

Aye it might, still the <character record> is an export of the "event_monitor" so the problem is definitly there. I think the reason that it the logs points you at the line with "I_NumberOfSettlements" is purely because it's directly after the incorrectly used conditions.
The actual line is not important, the text in the log is clearly saying their is a problem with the conditions you used in the if statement.

As Taiji pointed out ( and indeed I missed ) all the conditions in the "if" statement require this export ( not just the FactionIsLocal ).

this piece of script( courtesy of Taiji ) should work.

monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd FactionIsLocal 
     and FactionType byzantium
     and CharacterIsLocal
     and not EndedInSettlement 
     and not IsBesieging 
     and not AgentType = admiral 
     and not AgentType = spy 
     and not AgentType = diplomat 
     and not AgentType = assassin 
     and not AgentType = priest 
     and not AgentType = princess 
     and not AgentType = merchant     
     and InEnemyLands 

        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 5 
            console_command add_money -100 
        end_if 
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 10 
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 5 
            console_command add_money -200 
        end_if 
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 15 
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 10 
            console_command add_money -300 
        end_if 
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 20 
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 20 
            console_command add_money -400 
        end_if 
        if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 25 
            console_command add_money -500 
        end_if 
    end_monitor

I'll try to explain why to clear this up:

From the docudemon "events"

Identifier:         CharacterTurnEnd
Event:             A Character has finished its turn
Exports:          nc_character_record, character_record, faction, region_id, character_type, settlement

As you can see it has a number of "exports" listed, I highlighted the one of importance in this situation.
Now these exports limit the conditions I can use:

from docudemon "conditions"

Identifier:              AgentType
Trigger requirements:    character_record
Parameters:              character type (spy, assassin, diplomat, admiral, general, named character, family)
Sample use:              AgentType = diplomat
Description:             Test to see if a character is of a particular type (spy, admiral, named character &c.)
Battle or Strat:         Strat
Class:                   CHARACTER_TYPE_TEST

So this condition can only be used for monitors that export a character_record.

So

monitor_event   CharacterTurnEnd  AgentType = diplomat
...
end_monitor

would work
However "if statements" are different, they don't link to the "exports" of the monitor.
so

monitor_event  CharacterTurnEnd TrueCondition

  if  AgentType = diplomat
  .....
  end_if 

end_monitor

Won't work since the if statement doesn't have a "character_record" export. That's why only I_CompareCounter, I_NumberOfSettlements ( basically anything with an I_ before it ) can be used in if statements: because
from docudemon conditions:

Identifier:              I_CharacterCanMove
Trigger requirements:    No Requirements and so usuable in an if statement!!
Parameters:              logic token, level
Sample use:              I_CharacterCanMove Gaius Julius
Description:             Can the named character move to any square?  He may only be able to move in one direction, particularly the one he came from, so don't assume ability to move means he can move usefully.
Battle or Strat:         Strat

This is why your script doessn't work ( and what the log is referring to) the only reason it points at the NumberOfSettlements is because it's the first line after a faulty condition ( log is weird like that I guess )

If you look at the script above you'll see that the "if" has been removed so that the conditions can link to the monitor.

Hope that makes sense. Either way the above script should work.

[Taiji]

monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
and FactionType byzantium
and not EndedInSettlement
and not IsBesieging
and not AgentType = admiral
and not AgentType = spy
and not AgentType = diplomat
and not AgentType = assassin
and not AgentType = priest
and not AgentType = princess
and not AgentType = merchant
and InEnemyLands

if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 5
console_command add_money -100
end_if
if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 10
and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 5
console_command add_money -200
end_if
if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 15
and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 10
console_command add_money -300
end_if
if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 20
and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 20
console_command add_money -400
end_if
if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 25
console_command add_money -500
end_if
end_monitor

[attyla]

So you say that line

if I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium <= 5 

is OK? But the log says that the problem is right there.

[Taiji]

I'm saying none of these:

and not EndedInSettlement
and not IsBesieging
and not AgentType = admiral
and not AgentType = spy
and not AgentType = diplomat
and not AgentType = assassin
and not AgentType = priest
and not AgentType = princess
and not AgentType = merchant
and InEnemyLands

Can be used in a if statement.

Whether or not you can use 2 logic tokens (!=<>) with that condition logged is not something I know off the top of my head. Not worth thinking about until you fix the stuff before it though. Check it out.

edit:

To explain further, any condition that requires an export from an event cannot be used in an if statement.

[attyla]

I understand nothing from that.
Perhaps another way: how to make high of charges depend on the size of the fraction? Could you give me an example?

[Taiji]

Size in terms of provinces? This should be fine:

monitor_event SettlementTurnStart FactionIsLocal
console_command add_money -20
end_monitor

It removes gold for each settlement the player holds.

[Emperor of Hell]

console_command add_money -20

Needs a faction to give money to

[Taiji]

No it doesn't, check it yourself.

[attyla]

I hope I finally understood
Great thanks! +rep

[Emperor of Hell]

No it doesn't, check it yourself.

Console command, yeah, that one gives always to the local faction. My fault!
