Questions on script and "sacking"

[The_Mark]

monitor_event SettlementExterminated SettlementName x
console_command set_building_health x building_complex 0
end_monitor

Something like that should damage buildings when a settlement named X is exterminated.

Since it's about the same topic, pls maybe someone can correct me

This is my modification on the 4TPY cript where I wanted to make spawn armies. It works for the first one, but the others keep spawining everyting I load a save game.. :-(

[Myrddraal]

thats because when you reload a game, the 4TPY script actually runs the entire script up to the point where the turn number is correct.

To avoid this problem put

if I_TurnNumber = 0
Enter script here
end_if

That way it will only happen on that turn and not afterwards

[LestaT]

So, is that means I have to delete all end_if after the spawn army script except spawn_armyD ?

Anyway another advice I recieve is to delete part in bold and change
the and I_TurnNumber > 21 to
I_TurnNumber = 21
as below. Is there any differences ? I tested this one first, and the army didn't spawn again (already spawn on the exact date) when I reload the game. However I didn't test the game before it spawn to see if the script works.

Thanks for the advice Myrddraal

[LorDBulA]

I_TurnNumber = 21 is what you want.
This peace of script:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType greek_cities
and I_TurnNumber = TURN_NUMBER

will ensure that inside of this monitor will be executed only on turn equal to TURN_NUMBER and only at the begining of greek turns.
It will be executed only once.
