With the release of the text files I had a chance to experiment with giving traits, and it doesn't seem like you can use AgentType and FactionIsLocal at the same time in the trigger. Maybe this is one of the things to be fixed in the patch?

For example:

Code:

Trigger test_assassin_turn
	WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
	Condition FactionIsLocal
	      and AgentType = assassin
	
	Affects GoodConspirator 8 100

The trace log says the event is fired, yet none of my assassins have the GoodConspirator trait after I hit end turn. I've tried this only with assassins and spies so far.

Docudemon files show that you should be able to use both. AgentType requires character_record which is exported by the CharacterTurnEnd event, and FactionIsLocal requires faction which is also exported by CharacterTurnEnd.

This is in contrast to:

Code:

Trigger test_general_turn
	WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition FactionIsLocal
          and IsGeneral

	Affects Energetic 8 Chance 100

which correctly gives my generals the Energetic trait once I hit end turn.

**BozosLiveHere** · 12-05-2006, 21:08

This seems like a bug. A workaround might be restricting the traits themselves with the Characters line.

**alpaca** · 12-05-2006, 22:06

Yes AgentType does generally not seem to work properly.

**Kobal2fr** · 12-16-2006, 17:36

Working heavy-handedly on the VnV .txt at the moment, I noticed there are quite a lot of duplicate triggers, especially battle triggers. Same name, same WhenToTest, same conditions, same effects.

Do these have a purpose I cannot fathom, or can (and should) I clean them out without breaking stuff ? Did RTW have that kind of redundant triggers as well ?

Can you give an example?

**Kobal2fr** · 12-16-2006, 17:49

Sure. From my backup export_descr_character_traits.txt :

line 10726 :

Trigger battle7
WhenToTest BattleGeneralRouted

Affects Coward 1 Chance 25

line 13500 :

Trigger battle7
WhenToTest BattleGeneralRouted

Affects Coward 1 Chance 25

EDIT : there's also a few triggers with the same name, but differing effects, which is frankly sloppy. I assume I can change the name to whatever I like in order to avoid confusion without breaking the trigger, can't I ? (but perhaps these questions of mine shouldn't be asked here but rather in the "learn to mod" section, now that I think about it...)

**alpaca** · 12-16-2006, 19:27

Hmm interesting. I guess the game takes the last version in the files for each trigger. It should be safe to delete them if they have the same name.

**Kraxis** · 12-16-2006, 20:25

There is also the nice Blood Hound ancilliary that when triggered gives your general an Overseer (which is why we see so many of them). Basically the writer managed to cope the trigger of the Overseer down to the Blood Hound (which I think is for the Spy, and rather good too).

**Kobal2fr** · 12-17-2006, 06:13

@Kraxis : and losing to denmark will give you the "Hates Aztecs" trait

. But yeah, that's the kind of thing I'm currently trying to fix, that and giving triggers to unused traits and ancillaries. Oh, and fixing the names too. I'll probably release my files when I'm sure they're both balanced and don't make the game go

ker-klunk

.

I'm tackling the ReligionStarter issue right now, and I really don't get why no general gets it past the first turn of a campaign, because it's triggered first thing whenever someone is born, married and adopted, same as LoyaltyStarter... Triggered a number of times actually. I'm thinking if all else fails, I might include a trigger giving it at the end of each turn, but that's a bit on the brute force side of coding

.

@alpaca : OK, I thought as much, but wasn't sure. Thanks !

I posted on another thread but this place seems more appropriate.

I am away from my computer for a few days and can't test ideas or work, but I am still trying to be productive. Could anyone answer a few questions for me?

1) Will the commands in the docudemon_commands function in the traits file? More specifically, can we use if, while, and the monitors in the traits?

(If we can there is no point in answering the next questions.)

2) Can we use conditions in the trait definition instead of the trigger definition? This will also keep the file more human parsable then duplicating triggers. Although the usefullness of a condition is somewhat limited without some sort of an else.

3) Does condition placement effect only lines after the condition?
For example:
Trigger MyTrigger
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

Affects BattleChivalry 1 Chance 100

Condition Trait BattleDread >=1

Affects BattleChivalry -1 Chance 100
Affects BattleDread 1 Chance 100

Thanks.

No, no and I don't think so. Number 3) should maybe be tested but iirc you can't have affects before a condition.

**alpaca** · 12-28-2006, 01:46

Well, got something new. Can anybody test any of the above-mentioned Effects that are not in the traits and ancillaries files to see how they work?

IMPORTANT: Especially research FootInTheDoor :)

You've probably already taken care of this, but in case you haven't:

;------------------------------------------
Trait ReligionStarter
Characters family
Hidden

Level General_Religion
Description General_Religion_desc
EffectsDescription General_Religion_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect Piety 3

;---------------(END)

The only change is "general" to "family". This allows all those nice triggers that affect RegionStarter to actually have an effect on family members. Works great so far.

Piety is a pet peeve of mine. I'd like to be able to have a chance of increasing it if there's, say, a cardinal in the army for a few turns. Is there a condition that will allow me to check if a certain agent type is in an army?

Thanks..
