Trigger message on attack during certain range of turns

[MathBrush]

I mentioned in another thread that I had a scenario where every time someone attacks the character they insult a campaign.

I've been trying to get it to work, but I'm having difficulty. I have a variety of insults, and want them to fire in different ranges of turns.

I have this code:

Code: Select all

   [event]
        name=attack
		[filter]
			side=2
		[/filter]
   [if]
      [variable]
         name=turn_number
         greater_than=3
      [/variable]
      [then]
  		[message]
			speaker=unit
			message = _ "I hated A Fiery Birth. Boring, so boring. Boring characters, boring battles, boring maps. Why did you even bother making this? I just wasted five hours of my life on it."
		[/message]
         
      [/then]
    [/if]
   [/event]

If I get rid of the condition on the turn number, it works just fine:

Code: Select all

   
   [event]
        name=attack
		[filter]
			side=2
		[/filter]

  		[message]
			speaker=unit
			message = _ "I hated A Fiery Birth. Boring, so boring. Boring characters, boring battles, boring maps. Why did you even bother making this? I just wasted five hours of my life on it."
		[/message]
  
   [/event]

Any suggestions on how to incorporate the turn condition?

Where's your first_time_only?

I was under the impression that 'first_time_only' was set to 'yes' by default, which is what I want here. My issue is that it's not firing at all.

turn_number is not a filter, so it runs once on turn 1 and then never again.

Thank you, that explains everything. Thanks for your help! I may ask again if I can't figure out how to get it to only fire once later on.

You could

Spoiler:

Use [filter_condition] on the turn number, though that would mean one event per message

I'd probably use [switch] instead, let it fire on every turn and just do nothing on the turns you want to ignore. Or an array of messages.

Thanks! This is working great now, thanks to you.
