An Intermediate Guide to Scripting

If that is a direct copy&paste from your script then this line is part of the problem:

Code:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart EgyptFactionType Numidia

Then, there are the if lines in the first monitor.

Code:

 monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType Egypt
and FactionIsLocal
and FactionHasAllies

if DiplomaticStanceFromFaction pontus >= Hostile

DiplomaticStanceFromFaction requires exported parametres from a monitor, so it will no work if it is not tied to the monitor with ands. You'll have to split the monitor in two. This is how the other monitor should begin:

Code:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType Egypt
and FactionIsLocal
and FactionHasAllies
and DiplomaticStanceFromFaction pontus >= Hostile

As a rule of thumb, if a condition doesn't start with I_ it requires to be used as an event monitor condition.

Thanks a lot! It works now!
Another question. What is the proper command to give money to other fraction?
add_money <amount> <fraction name> not works.

From what other people have posted, you need a comma in there:

console_command add_money faction, how_much

HI!

I want to use move_character command , but I don't know how to calculate x,y koordinates of a position on campaign map. Is there a tool or method to do this?

**The_Mark** · 12-02-2005, 14:40

Bring up the console on campaign map, place cursor over desired tile and type show_cursorstat, then press enter :)

If I use spawn and move command to not local faction with monitor_event, hothing happaned:

script
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType romans_julii
and not FactionIsLocal
spawn_army
faction romans_julii
character Flavius Julius, general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, x 180, y 5
unit roman generals guard cavalry, soldiers 20 exp 9 armour 1 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman legionary first cohort ii, soldiers 40 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman legionary cohort ii, soldiers 60 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman praetorian cohort i, soldiers 60 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
end
console_command move_character Flavius Julius 170, 5
campaign_wait 1
console_command move_character Flavius Julius 160, 15
end_monitor
end_script

If I use it to not local faction without monitor_event spawn work, but no moves

If I use it to local faction spawn works, move works too.
