This will change the date to summer 220BC.
Note that you'll get all the historical event messages for the events between the date you jumped from and the date you skipped to.

This command is primarily useful for people who want to skip to the Marian Reforms or change their date altogether. It is also the foundation for Myrddraal's Multiple Turns a Year mod.

what file is this in???

Please read the first post in this thread - see Stage Three.

Does "console_command create_unit" work for naval units too ?

I have experimented a bit but it does not seem to working

I've never tried it, but the problem I would see with it would be where are you going to put them? Scripting tends to be very blunt, and more than likely it's trying to put them in the settlements themselves rather than in their ports. Try creating them on an existing admiral as you would do on an existing captain or family member.

I have tried geograhical location

script
console_command create_unit Athens "naval triremes" 2
end_script

and character :

script
console_command create_unit "Admiral Cassius" "naval triremes" 2
end_script

without much luck

In campaign naval units are sometimes given as reward for completion of Senate missions so there is got to be way of creating them with use of scripts at particular settelments

hello

I'm having trouble implementing a script, Script Error in export_descr_advice, Line 28986 , column 61 more specifically. " Advice thread increment not supplied "

I copied the samples exact, and fixed the board formatting errors.

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trigger 2137_Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Trigger
    WhenToTest ScrollAdviceRequested

    Condition ScrollAdviceRequested help_scroll

    AdviceThread Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread  0

;------------------------------------------
AdviceThread Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
    GameArea Campaign

    Item Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01
        Uninhibitable
        Verbosity  0 
        Threshold  1 
        Attitude Normal
        Presentation Default
        Title Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Title
        Script scripts\show_me\mo_money.txt
        Text Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Text1

Line 28986 is in red, what's going on here?

**mike^_^** · 08-23-2005, 23:31

why can't I edit my post?

anyway, the line that is getting the error is the AdviceThread string

AdviceThread Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread

I can't figure out what's going on.. the format is fine, it compares with the samples, and the other advice thread strings in the eda file

It says, "Advice Thread increment not supplied"

I'm really at a loss
