Scripting Help!!!

[Atilius]

And one question. Is it true that this is the only file I need for a background script?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You need to modify export_descr_advice.txt in order to actually launch the script. Have you done this?

In what way would you have to modify the export_descr_advice to run a background script?

In ER's first scripting tutorial it's done by adding the line in red to the Advice thread shown below:

 ;------------------------------------------
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\yourScriptNameHere.txt
        Text Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Text1

To run the script, you must hit the F1 key and click the "?" button on the scroll that appears. This causes the advisor to pop up; then you click the "Show me how" button on the advisor.

YES!!!!! Thanks you atilius, it worked perfectly. Now I can start incorporating the rest of the script.
