[event] name=capture,die

[Helmet]

In Secrets of the Ancients, scenario 8, an event has a name key and two values separated by a comma: name=capture,die.

When I saw it, I thought...wow. TWO values? That's pretty cool.

Have you ever done something like this -- that is, use two or more values in an event? What did your event do? Do you know any other scenarios that have done this?

One of the goals of my campaign is to pack it with nifty examples of code, that way it will be my own personal reference manual. I'm trying to think of a way to utilize this nifty feature in my campaign. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You'll find many examples of it in the mainline campaigns. Another common one is name=recruit,recall or name=sighted,moveto and the ones that trigger at specific turns like name=turn 4,turn 8,turn 12 or on sides turn name=side 2 turn refresh,side 3 turn refresh

I guess I've been overlooking that detail when checking-out mainline code, until now.

Those are extremely useful examples, vghetto. Thanks

On the first sight's it's an easy way to write one event instead of two.

But the special part is that it will fire only once – so it offers a way for dialogues, which should fire in one of the two cases, but not twice.

That sounds extremely useful, but I'm having a difficult time imagining how to do it. Would you post a code snippet?

Would you post a code snippet?

An orc leader gets mad the first time a miss happens in combat, by either combatant on any side.

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=attacker misses, defender misses
    
    [message]
        speaker=ORC
        message= _ "Ha, you know nothing about combat, neither of you! You don't know how to hit each other? Arr, this is not a fight you're doing! I'll show you how a fight is done once I get there! *incomprehensible orc noises*"
    [/message]
[/event]

Ah! Thank you.
