Detecting a Character's Age

**UndyingNephalim** · September 12, 2012, 04:03 AM

Is there a condition for a campaign script to test a specific character's age? For example:

CharacterAge MynameisBob >= 50

Adding names to CharacterAge seems to cause the campaign script to not function. Is there another condition or workaround to recognize a specific character's age?

You will first have to define the character before you can test for his age. It will still be difficult to test the age of a certain character unless he exists from the beginning and can be given a unique trait.
In that case you could simply test the character for that trait and the age.

monitor_event CharacterTurnStart
trait [trait_name] = 1
CharacterAge [logic token] [value]
[command of your choice]
end_monitor

I tried that out and the campaign script seemed to not function. The error log in this case says "don't recognize this token: trait"

I tried this method too:

Code:

monitor_event CharacterTurnStart
    and trait newtrait = 1
    and CharacterAge == 24
         kill_character charactername
 terminate_monitor
end_monitor

The error log in this case says "don't recognize this token: and"

My bad - you need a 'definition' of the event, add something like FactionIsLocal to the first line (or remove the first 'and'):

monitor_event CharacterTurnStart FactionIsLocal

or

monitor_event CharacterTurnStart trait newtrait = 1
