[solved] building capabilities issue... (!!!)

[SpyrosM91]

i have this system of worldwide traits...

campaignscript

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
    
        if I_LocalFaction byzantium

            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_1 = 1
                set_event_counter trait_one_counter 1
            end_if
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_1 = 2
                set_event_counter trait_one_counter 2
            end_if
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_1 = 3
                set_event_counter trait_one_counter 3
            end_if
               ...
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_1 = 9
                set_event_counter trait_one_counter 9
            end_if


            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_2 = 1
                set_event_counter trait_two_counter 1
            end_if
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_2 = 2
                set_event_counter trait_two_counter 2
            end_if
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_2 = 3
                set_event_counter trait_two_counter 3
            end_if
               ...
            if I_FactionLeaderTrait byzantium Trait_2 = 9
                set_event_counter trait_two_counter 9
            end_if

        end_if
        if not I_LocalFaction byzantium
            terminate_monitor
        end_if

    end_monitor

and then in my EDB, in every level of the core building, i write this code:

        happiness_bonus bonus -1 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_one_counter 1
        happiness_bonus bonus -1 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_one_counter 2
        happiness_bonus bonus -2 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_one_counter 3
          ...
        happiness_bonus bonus -8 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_one_counter 9


        happiness_bonus bonus 6 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_two_counter 1
        happiness_bonus bonus 6 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_two_counter 2
        happiness_bonus bonus 5 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_two_counter 3
          ...
        happiness_bonus bonus 1 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_two_counter 9

the Trait_1, after it has been activated, it increases 1 per turn... and after sth i have scripted happens, it goes to 0 and the Trait_2 is enabled, which is also goes up by 1 every turn...


but then in the game i have this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

the public order was about 100%, and when the last (or so) level of Trait_1 was reached, the public order had still remained the same, as in the beginning...





and also when some levels of the Trait_2 were reached, again the percentage remained about 100% (there might have been a change in the governor's traits... increase in population... or so... that probably why it's is 95%)

so my question is:

a) why the bonuses appear all on screen, despite that only one is "activated" every time...??
b) why they don't work, by increasing or decreasing the public order....???


thanks in advance!!

The use of event counters outside the campaign_script is limited to either 0 = off or 1 = on.

Just a shot in the dark, maybe add a not for the other counters.

happiness_bonus bonus -1 requires factions { byzantium, } and event_counter trait_one_counter 1 and not event_counter trait_one_counter 2 and not event_counter trait_one_counter 3 and not etc...

= the game does not recognise event counters set to anything else than 0 or 1 outside of the campaign script, which in this case means insight the edb

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal

Because you can't fire event counters after settlementturnstart and have them affect building capabilities. You might see an effect on the building description but it isn't there in time to be taken into account by the game.

Also, event counters only work with 0 and 1 in edb - So use seperate counters.

And you should need to add a condition that the event counters for the bonuses you don't want are set to 0 or they will all be listed. But individual capabilities vary in how conditions can be used with them, and I haven't checked happiness, so see how it goes.
