SettlementBuildingsExists issues

**Linyoa** · February 12, 2012, 02:59 PM

Hey guys,

So I've finally tried to dip my toe into the scripting pool, and after read up some classes at the university I think I've gotten a basic knowledge of it. Sadly my first (rather basic script) is not working. I've tried my best to figure out the problem but to no avail

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I am fairly sure the problem lies in the third monitor, which sets the shrine_niren counter to 0 if shrine_nirentosh is not present, as I have made sure that the other three monitors are working.

Can you not use != (building not present) ? I haven't been able to find an example of someone else using it that way but I'm sure I read that you could somewhere.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hrm, never used another logic token besides = or == with SettlementBuildingExists.
Have you tryed to use "not SettlementBuildingExists == shrine_nirentosh" instead of the != logic token?
Like:

Code:

monitor_event SettlementTurnEnd SettlementName Midgar
and not SettlementBuildingExists == shrine_nirentosh
set_counter shrine_niren 0
end_monitor

Edit: ah and since it's testing for the level of the building

Battle or Strat:	Strat
Class:	SETTLEMENT_BUILDING_LEVEL_EXISTS_TEST

Most probably > < and = might work ... never tested anything besides = and == though

I'll try "not settlementbuilding... " though I recall that I read that that would not work.
Gee it would probably be pretty helpful if I could find where I read this stuff

Thanks for the help

Edit:
Well it worked! I probably should have thought to try that on my own

Thanks for the help!

I said it recently somewhere so it might have been me. I don't know if it was for SettlementBuildingExists specifically but I was under the impression that "not" can not be used with conditions that take logical operators (< > etc.).

I was told this on good authority

and have adhered to the rule ever since. But now that I look at some code I can see things like "and not Trait Saruman > 0" being used all over the place and presumably working fine.

Now I'm unsure about this rule. I'll find that recent post of mine and change it.
