Hotseat Scripting

[crackerjack1348]

I have very limited modding experience, and know nothing about scripting at all. I'm playing a local hotseat game with all good factions on TATW and am trying to get the seasons script to work properly. I've included the normal version below but it gets messed up with controlling multiple factions. If I change "factionislocal" to say Sicily, does that mean this script will only fire on Gondor's turn and keep the seasons correct?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;###################### Aging & Season script ########################

declare_counter month
monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal ; set the season for each month
if I_CompareCounter month == 1 ;January
console_command season winter
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 2 ;February
console_command season winter
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 3 ;March
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 4 ;April
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 5 ;May
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 6 ;June
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 7 ;July
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 8 ;August
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 9 ;September
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 10 ;October
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 11 ;November
console_command season winter
end_if

if I_CompareCounter month == 12 ;December
console_command season winter
end_if

inc_counter month 1 ;advance the month
if I_CompareCounter month == 20 ;start a new year
set_counter month 1
end_if
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
and I_CompareCounter month < 20
console_command season summer
end_monitor

Also, I was wondering if there was anyway to force the UI to reload at the end of each turn so that the UI's for each faction load. I tried to use the console command reload_textures but I don't know what I'm doing and it doesnt seem to do anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you for reading and any help would be appreciated.

I don't know where your "20" is coming from. That's not a TATW thing. Anyway, you'll need to adjust the script in that link to suit however many turns-per-year you need.

Yeah, that was from an earlier attempt to solve the seasons issue. I caught it and fixed it after I posted this. Just telling the script to count Gondor's turn seems to have worked. The post you linked does essentially the same but only counts the rebels turn.

Now if I could just figure out this UI thing...

Thanks for the help Withwnar! Your mods are great btw

If Gondor/sicily dies then the script will stop working. slave never dies.

Thanks.
