Hi everyone!
That may sound stupid but can I use timers in conquest mode?
I'm pretty sure you can but when I try the AI refuses to spawn.

Pretty sure I'm just too stupid to set up the code correctly:

Code: Select all

function ScriptPostLoad()
[...]    
Bridge()   
conquest:Start()


  function Bridge()  
    bridge_timer = CreateTimer("bridge_timer")
    SetTimerValue(bridge_timer, 320)
    StartTimer(bridge_timer)
    OnTimerElapse(
        function(timer)
                UnblockPlanningGraphArcs("Connection51")
                DisableBarriers("bridgebarrier1")
                DisableBarriers("bridgebarrier2")
                DisableBarriers("barrier321")
                print("Auf Kameraden, es geht los!")
                DestroyTimer(timer)
        end,
        bridgetimer
      )
  end


[...]
end

That needs to be the name of your timer.

Argh, I double-checked for typos and still didn't see it >.<
Thank you!
There was even an additional mistake because the function needed to placed after PostLoad.

Fixed both and got it working

Posted: **Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:02 am**

may I ask, what does:

Code: Select all

print("Auf Kameraden, es geht los!")

that code do? translation would be nice too.

Posted: **Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:17 am**

prints that message to the errorlog.

Translation: "Come on comrades, let's go !"

I still dont understand how printing "come on comrades, lets go!" to the error log does anything, but lets not drag this topic on any further.

Basically, it's required for functions to work. It can be named pretty much anything, like "I drink your milkshake" or "no soup for you". It just needs something to print out in the error log.

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2012 5:24 pm**

oohh I see, thanks wulf.

Posted: **Sun Feb 26, 2012 1:53 am**

You actually don't need to put print in to have the function work, sorry Wulf, but it's actually used as a debugger. When the game has read passed that point in the code, it will put the print line into the debugger. You can use this if you have errors in the code to figure out where it stops working (first line, second, thirtieth, etc.) or to give yourself notes that the function has run properly.
Example:

Code: Select all

boxkill = OnCharacterDeath(
function(character, killer)
print("line 1")
if IsCharacterHuman(character) then
KillObject("box")
print("the box has been destroyed")
end
end
)

If "line 1" appears in your debug log, you know the function has been activated. And if "the box has been destroyed" appears, you know it was destroyed, even if you didn't see it.

I had guessed as much, but since it's always included I just wanted to simplify it for Rosy. Anyway, thanks for the info.
