    Default Is it possible "de"-activate the script temporarily?

    I have prepared some type of hotseat script mainly by modding the present scripts other than EBBS.
    as you can estimate when I activated the hotseat script and switched to other faction also after I finished my turn with it when I returned to my first faction my goverment buildings are damaged because I did not exit game and restart.
    so to avoid the goverment buildings damage is it possible to de-activate the script temporarily or de-activate then activate again.

    In fact, it does not much bother me but I switch the faction I coded before pressing end turn button.
    It did not make any difference.
    The only solution I could think to stop this is just simple activate the hotseat script swtict factions then save and exit.

    Any idea?

    I suppose you could have some event counter condition in the indefinite loop that keeps the script alive. Then have for instance the generic script switch the condition criterion, so that you can activate the "end script function" through F1 etc.

    This is how I converted other scripts into hotseat.

    I changed to generic script like this to switch Sauromate

    ;
    ; This is a placeholder script. Its purpose is to provide a valid
    ; but completely safe script to resolve the Script command in
    ; the Generic_Script_Thread. See EXPORT_DESCR_ADVICE.TXT.
    ;
    script
    console_command toggle_perfect_spy
    console_command control armenia
    end_script
    so when I activate the generic script I play as Saro.

    after I finish my movements I switch back parthia for example with FD script that I have added this lines:

    script
    declare_show_me
    declare_counter loop

    monitor_event AbandonShowMe TrueCondition
    suspend_unscripted_advice false
    console_command force_diplomacy off
    terminate_script
    end_monitor

    monitor_event ScrollClosed ScrollClosed diplomacy_scroll
    ui_flash_stop
    suspend_unscripted_advice false
    console_command force_diplomacy off
    terminate_script
    end_monitor

    suspend_unscripted_advice true

    console_command force_diplomacy accept
    console_command control parthia

    while I_CompareCounter loop = 0
    end_while

    suspend_unscripted_advice false
    end_script
    so I have made a hotseat mode easily but I failed to stop damaging my goverment buildings.
    so that most safe way methinks: do not press end turn activate generic script save, quit reload but do not activate until to return first faction played. that is the longest solution I could manage.

    I switched more than 4 times between two faction without pressing end turn without any problem. I just want to learn if my goverment building damaged do I have to start the pahlavan reforms from the beginning or if I repair the building can I go on the Pahlava reform process.
    Like if I switch saro and my reformed pastoralism damaged when I switched back parthia/Pahlava if I repair it, can I build reformed aristocracy then pahlavan reformed goverment or I have to destroy it then process_cq whole process from the beginning?

    I think perhaps the easiest way to avoid damaging the governments is to remove the part of the script that damages the governments.

    That's where the computer's search function is the trick. You know the internal name of the buildings that are damaged. Search it out in EBBS. If you don't know the internal name, look up the internal name from the display name. Honestly, if you're going to mod stuff, you need to know how to find out about these kinds of things yourself.
