Help with kill script

**ronnie76** · January 06, 2012, 06:31 PM

Could someone help me out with this kill script? Trying to kill Scotland's Leader "Dabid mac_Donnchada" at turn 2.

From my campaign_script

Code:

;=======My Kill Script

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
and I_TurnNumber = 2
if I_LocalFaction scotland
kill_character DABID1
end_if
end_monitor

From my descr_strat

Code:

character	Dabid mac_Donnchada, named character, male, leader, age 80, x 59, y 248 , label DABID1

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Ronnie

Thanks o much for the help TNZ, but it does not appear to be killing the stubborn old buggar.

Looks like the script is firing but he is still alive.

From my log

Code:

20:00:59.156 [game.script.exec] [trace] exec <if> at line 39 in mods/SS6.4 Meneth/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt
20:00:59.156 [game.script.exec] [trace] exec <kill_character> at line 39 in mods/SS6.4 Meneth/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt

Try now:

Code:

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
		and I_TurnNumber = 1
		if I_LocalFaction scotland
		console_command kill_character dabid1
	end_if
	end_monitor

You forgot the console command.

That's not necessary, there is also a script command "kill_character"
docudemons:

Code:

	Identifier:	kill_character
	Parameters:	character
	Description:	Kill the character
	Sample use:	kill_character Gaius Maximus
	Class:	KILL_CHARACTER

I know, TNZ's script was fine i was reminding that there is also a console command one if it's not working for ronnie.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Got it working both ways. I think it was a problem with where I put the Kill Script in my campaign_script file. Putting it at the end just before the "wait_monitors" line seems to have fixed it.

Anyway, thanks again so much for your help.

@Ishan,

I'm still doing tests with the size of the names bin and should have some results to report this evening.

Cheers,

Ronnie

Sorry, I misunderstood you then

You should put every script before the wait_monitors line

I originally had it at the beginning after the line below which meant that it was before the wait_monitors line in my original trials.

If it had been after the wait_monitors line it never would have fired correct?
