[solved] EDB question: (!!!)

[SpyrosM91]

i have this:

        small_church_o city requires factions { eastern_european, slavic, } or factions { greek, } and event_counter byzantium_catholic_conversion 0  
        {
            convert_to 0
            capability
            {
                agent priest  0  requires factions { eastern_european, slavic, greek, } 
                agent priest  0  requires factions { eastern_european, slavic, greek, } 
                happiness_bonus bonus 1
                religion_level bonus 2
                agent_limit priest 1
            }
            material wooden
            construction  1 
            cost  800 
            settlement_min town
            upgrades
            {
                church_o
            }

i have this building of a building tree....BUT i have this problem: when the counter is set to 1 (when playing with a faction of the greek culture) the building is still able to be built....

is it because of the event_counter?? should it be written instead as "and not event_..... 1"????

[Taiji]

Yes, that sounds right.

ok, i wrote this:

small_church_o city requires factions { eastern_european, slavic, } or factions { greek, } and not event_counter byzantium_catholic_conversion 1
{

}

but the building does not appear at all... even before the counter is set to 1....

[Taiji]

Then, assuming your script is working, make a new event counter so it can read as 1.

[SpyrosM91]

thanks! that worked.... but i have another small problem:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

cath_parish_c castle requires factions { southern_european, northern_european, eastern_european, } and building_present_min_level worship_catholic_castle small_chapel or factions { greek, } and event_counter byzantium_catholic_conversion 1
{
capability
{
happiness_bonus bonus 1
pope_disapproval 1
}
material wooden
construction 1
cost 800
settlement_min town
upgrades
{
}
}

i have this other building, but for the converted byzantium, it doesn't work....
for the other catholics it does, without any problem.... but for the byzies... there is an issue...

PS: if i want to place the min_building for the byzies ( {greek, } ) also, where should i put it???

Looks like it should work, I'd suspect the issue is with your script.

PS: if i want to place the min_building for the byzies ( {greek, } ) also, where should i put it???

After the 'or factions...' somewhere. Just like the code before the or.

i don't think so.... the event_counter works without any problem... and also in other case, it shows that it works...

i have it in another building and there isnt't any problem...:

You can't use "not event_counter". If you want "not event_counter x 1" then use "event_counter x 0". And vice versa.

But make sure that the event counter has been set to something at campaign start. If it has not yet been set to anything then it doesn't exist. And if it doesn't exist then EDB will interpret that condition as "true". i.e. Both "event_counter x 0" and "event_counter x 1" will be treated as true until such time as a "set_event_counter x 1/0" is carried out.

In campaign_script just put "set_event_counter byzantium_catholic_conversion 0" somewhere, outside of any monitors. (Or use 1 if you want it to start as 1.)

[SpyrosM91]

@Withwar.... i had already taken care of that....

[Taiji]

Building added properly for the Greek culture?

[SpyrosM91]

meaning??

pics -not added (everywhere... not just in greek culture)..... but there isn't any problem
text -kept the basic one for all cultures... but since the other cultures recognise it (i've tested it), there shouldn't be a problem with the greek description missing...


{cath_parish_c} Parish
{cath_parish_c_desc} E... on your territory.
{cath_parish_c_desc_short} A parish is ...

[Taiji]

Try this maybe:

cath_parish_c castle requires factions { greek, } and building_present_min_level worship_catholic_castle small_chapel and event_counter byzantium_catholic_conversion 1 or factions { southern_european, northern_european, eastern_european, } and building_present_min_level worship_catholic_castle small_chapel

[SpyrosM91]

that worked!! thanks!! (+rep) but why it needed for the arguments to be "inverted" ????

[Taiji]

Possibly it wants the one with more conditions to come first...

No idea really, I just expect this kind of stuff in EDB and have learnt to play accordingly.

[SpyrosM91]

i suppose if i want a hidden resource, i will add it to both faction groups... right?



and what happens, when i want another faction for the building, eg:

greek: min_level_building + event_counter (just like before)
midl. east.: min_level_building + event_counter (+the same)
all others: min_level_building

because i had seen a post of SignifierOne...

[Taiji]

1) Yeah.

2) More ors and more duplicates of common conditions. If you have problems then just experiment until you succeed
