Kalmar Union - Historic Event Question...

**SpyrosM91** · February 09, 2012, 05:08 AM

i had made a kalmar union script for 2 factions (byzantium, kantakouzenos).... and then in another comletely different script i had this excerpt:

Code:

    monitor_event BuildingCompleted SettlementBuildingFinished = blahh

        if I_LocalFaction byzantium
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_player
        end_if
        if I_LocalFaction kantakouzenos
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_player
        end_if
        if I_IsFactionAIControlled byzantium
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_AI
        end_if
        if I_IsFactionAIControlled kantakouzenos
        and I_NumberOfSettlements kantakouzenos > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_AI
        end_if

    end_monitor

but when i tested it as byzantium, 2 "_player" events poped up... why is that?? does the engine recognise both the united factions as local??

and also when i didn't have the "I_NumberOfSettlements" condition in the second events, the game had a CTD... was that because when the faction is dead, there is an issue there??

Have you tryed to change I_LocalFaction with not I_IsFactionAIControlled? not sure if this will change things but maybe it worths a try.

So the kalmar union script changes Byzantium in kantakouzenos?

no, if you play with byzantium: give_everything_to_faction kantakouzenos byzantium true
and if you play with kantakouzenos: give_everything_to_faction byzantium kantakouzenos true

Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem: try "false" instead of "true". That is the "faction emerges message" parameter.

EDIT: sorry, I did misunderstand. You could also try using the I_NumberOfSettlements test in the _player ones. Generally =0 means the faction is dead but I don't know how it works with shadow factions. Also, using "factions { byzantium, }" and "factions { kantakouzenos, }" on the player HEs might work (is that a Kingdoms-only thing?).

Try this to solve the first issue, though I have no clue what causes is this might solve it :p

Code:

    monitor_event BuildingCompleted SettlementBuildingFinished = blahh

        if I_LocalFaction byzantium
        and I_NumberOfSettlements kantakouzenos > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_player
        end_if

        wait 1

        if I_LocalFaction kantakouzenos
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_player
        end_if

        if I_IsFactionAIControlled byzantium
        and I_NumberOfSettlements byzantium > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_AI
        end_if
        if I_IsFactionAIControlled kantakouzenos
        and I_NumberOfSettlements kantakouzenos > 0
            historic_event scripted_religion_patriarchate_romans_in_exile_establish_AI
        end_if

    end_monitor

The second problem is even weirder, but my first guess would be a mistype in the historic_events text strings.
