Does the game actually load up? Is it just this bit of the script that doesn't work? Is this placed above or below the 4tpy script?

[Myrddraal]

Yes any monitors and background scripts should be placed above the generated 4tpy script

[pilatus]

thx for the quick answers

@myrddraal
yes its above the script...

@richard
the game loads up and the 4 tpy script works normally

the only thing is that are no spawning armys :stupido2:

i have to say that i have modified the script. the original is by lestat from his perfect mod imperator II...
the mod is running on bi 1.6
i modified the timerate (shorter) and executed the spawn army of phyrrus. at 109bc i want to have the journey of the cimbers...

According to the documentation, after the last unit you're supposed add an "end" statement. Your first spawn_army should be:


spawn_army
faction romans_julii
character Titus Gabinius, general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 38, , x 100, y 68
unit alae roman hastati exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman hastati exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman princeps exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman princeps exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy swordsmen exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy swordsmen exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy spearmen exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy spearmen exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
end

LestaT claimed in this thread (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=46738&page=2) (post #40) that the script was only partially working. He had also omitted the "end" statements in the code he posted. This may have been his problem or perhaps the end statement is not actually necessary. Regardless, it would be best to add it and see if this fixes your problem.

You also need a comma after each unit's name. So it would be:

spawn_army
faction romans_julii
character Titus Gabinius, general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 38, , x 100, y 68
unit alae roman hastati, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman hastati, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman princeps, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit alae roman princeps, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy swordsmen, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy swordsmen, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy spearmen, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman italy spearmen, exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
end
set_counter spawn_armyA 1
end_if

Then it should work.
