RTW scripting: the "end turn button" trigger

I want to try to make my 4 turns per year script trigger when you click on a settlement, character or the end turn button.

I have a couple questions: is there any long term negative effect of having the trigger in there? It will check every time you click that button to see if the script is running, right? Are there any known bad effects of that?

Second, I can't find the darned thing! I've found triggers for clicking on characters and settlements, but not the end turn or next turn or whatever you call it button. Anyone know where that sucker is?

Thanks!

You can trigger the advisor to pop up when you do any of those things, but remember that the script wont run unless you click show me how. You might want to disable unscripted advice in the script so it stops bugging you once it's running.

Isn't that what the MaxRepeats line is for in the thread declaration? Once it has been started, it shouldn't pop up again unless you load a saved game or start a new campaign.

Try this:

I thought the maxrepeats was an overall maximum, and wasn't reset unless you reset the advisor. I'm probably wrong though, I'm working from memory and I haven't modded for a while.

One more question: What is the "1" for at the end of

"AdviceThread my4tpyThread 1"

??

Re: RTW scripting: the "end turn button" trigger

Points towards activating the advice thread. Each thread has a threshold, a number of points it needs before it is activated.
