Great Heathen Army event

[HELLEKIN]

Hello friends, long time since i´ve came here, but covid gave me a small vacations, so let´s mod a bit .So...has the title says, i need help in this heathen army event because i´m making a small mod about britain dark ages and want to implement this.....i´m zer0 in scripting so unfortunately this must be a copy paste because i can´t understand scripting very well, sorry about that ...., basically i need a script that spawn an army in the shores of Newcastle Upon Tyne and that army must go to York, besige the town and capture it....I will try to make danes playable in brittania campaign if not i´ll use just the rebels/slave faction.Sorry to ask this kind of help but i asked this once and gently some guys tried to help giving me some exemples and tutorials but it didn't work I couldn't do this myself.Can someone help me in this?Many thanks in advance .......by the way, here are some images of my litle mod if you want to give an opinion I would appreciate it. See you soon .

That shouldn't be too difficult. First spawn the army, then move it, then besiege. And then use the 'auto_win' command when attacking the settlement. Note that the 'label' entry is crucial here. And the spawn should not be more then 5 tiles away from the target. Example is from 1648.

    monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType hre
        spawn_army
            faction hre
            character    random_name, named character, label stral_attack1, age 38, x 268, y 353

    monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType hre    ; next turn
        if not I_CharacterExists stral_attack1                ; making sure the army still exists
             terminate_monitor                                     ; else disable monitor
        end_if
        move stral_attack1 270, 355                          ; moving next to the settlement
