Can a script be reversed/restarted?

[123123123]

Hi!

Can scripts, and I mean any script be restarted or reversed?

[Withwnar]

Short answer: no. Sometimes it is possible but it totally depends on the script. e.g. This re-asks the "Restore Arnor?" question which in turn triggers the associated script to make it happen: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post11774492

I want to restart the one ring scrips to be able to destroy it. I've just destroyed sauron, but I don't see any point after almost 250 turns to hunt down every mordor general and city.

Do you think that is possible?

[Withwnar]

Maybe but somebody would need to investigate the script to work it out.

Instead you could use what I linked to and change this line in its ArnorReunionOffer.txt file. ..

historic_event union true factions { turks, }

...to...

console_command kill_faction england

...or, if that doesn't work...

give_everything_to_faction england slave true

Thanks for the reply and your time, I will try that and compared to the other dude Ill tell you if it worked or not

[123123123]

And it didn't =/

Crashed with both codes when I pressed F1

[Withwnar]

It worked for me. Hitting F1 shows the advisor and then clicking its "show me" button (which is not highlighted for some reason) kills Mordor.

I don't know why yours crashed. Are you using any submods?

[123123123]

im using MOS, probably that's why?

Would be great if I could do this!

[Withwnar]

Perhaps but I can't think why.

[Withwnar]

Ah, just thought of something. See my edit in that post regarding the export_advice.txt.strings.bin file. That would be a reason for the CTD.

[123123123]

Dude, it worked. And not just that, I added the line in the script for the destruction of the one ring, so both mordor and the ring was destroyed. Thank you, meant much for all those hours I put down so my story could be complete! THANK YOU!!!! so much for taking your time bothering about my petty problems, kudos to you.

One last question, i added a line to also destroy the dark lord - is there any side effects or bugs to do that? I mean destroy "the dark lord", doesnt seem any sense that he should live on after the destruction of the ring and keep on calling invasions?

THANK YOU!!

[Withwnar]

You're welcome and thanks for reporting back.

Dark Lord: in vanilla TATW 3.2 he is respawned if found to be dead, so no point in killing him. You could instead kill the papal_states faction - that should do it I think. (I don't know if MOS is different in any of that.) However, by removing the pope (Dark Lord / papal_states) you are also disabling Invasions.

hey! So, it was here we discussed the destruction of the papals. Is it possible to resurrect them? for the sake of being able changing the bodyguards once more

[Withwnar]

(This is a continuation of the discussion here.)

No luck. I can't get faction_emerge to work with either papal_states or hungary in that advisor script.

So not possible as far as I know.
