Need topic in the Dungeon

[DrHaphazard]

Yeah, i was hoping to ask a question about making historical maps in the Dungeon forum, but of course i cant post there. I'm guessing this is because of my juniorness.

So in any case, i was wondering what i can do to uh be transferred to that there forum.

Yes, you need a promotion before you can post elsewhere...

So

Sit back, relax, converse with your peer's...and in next to no time you will have access to the dungeon.

In the meantime ask your questions...

[DrHaphazard]

Well then....here is the question in question...

I am making my first historical battle, you know just experimating. Everything works fine, even on a custom map i made EXCEPT that if my troops win the battle never ends. When the other army finally flees a window comes up that says Wait while the conflict is resolved... or something to that affect.

So if anyone knows off the top of their head whats wrong, let me know. OR perhaps they could take a look at my coding. I have compared it to the other historical battle files and i am stumped...

As you may be able to tell from some of my labels this is only an experimental deal. And yay for anyone who gets the references.

Well thats all.

Do the following -

1) change the Lara player line to read 8 8 - you've put 8 0
2) add a FLED option to the trigger 1 - BT_GENERAL DIED CAPTURED FLED, ...
3) add a 3rd trigger for faction 8 incapacitate eg -
Trigger::3, BT_INCAPACITATE, factions 8, ...
and
Group::3, PRIMARY triggers 3 result_ids 1


A quick word of advice.

First, your example labels don't help ME solve YOUR problem Whilst a label such as Shut up about the brocoli may be amusing it tell's me NOTHING about what YOUR intention is for that line. Also it tells YOU nothing about your intention. Important when debugging problems.

Second, unless you have designed a new map called idiot (which I doubt) this tells me you have CHANGED THIS FILE BEFORE POSTING IT. In other words you may well have introduced error's by editing it before posting - see the point?

I nearly did'nt respond to this post for those 2 reasons - but I decided to help just because your new http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hope you follow what I'm saying. If you want problems solving then don't change the original source and try to assist anyone with INTENTIONS - rather than funnies
