Campaign events triggering at wrong scenario

[Erik2]

Here's an extract from the data.cmp file (last two scenarios in the campaign).
I've checked the Lamao scenario, it is set up correctly.
Why do the cabcaben event title/txt/graphic trigger at the end of the Lamao scenario instead of the Cabcaben scenario?
The game then moves to the last scenario, Cabcaben.

[Lamao]
location = -1.879, -6.692
scenario = Lamao
result = -2,-2,-2,12,12

[Cabcaben]
location = -2.983, -7.099
scenario = Cabcaben
result = -2,-2,-2,-1,-1
event = event_cabcaben_title, event_cabcaben_text, event_cabcaben

Thanks
Erik

Defined like this, the event should pop up when the Cabcaben branch is reached. Is that not what it's doing?

[Erik2]

Nope, I want the events to trigger after the last scenario has ended with a minor/major victory.
The event concludes the campaign.

I've tested this again and as far as I can tell it's working as intended.

But if you want different outcome messages you have to use different (negative) result values and assign different text & image to these.

[Erik2]

I need some help here, how do I set up the event items to trigger after the last scenario has finished?

[adherbal]

You just want different outcome messages depending on minor/major victory I assume? Those pop up automatically if the next branch number is a negative value.

This stuff was explained here:

Unless it still isn't clear? The negative number is just a value used in the outcome and text entry and image filename (with the minus removed). it's up to you to decide what that text says and what the image shows.

[Erik2]

Nope. I want one set of event items to trigger for minor/major defeat & draw and another one for minor/major victory.
The main point is I want them to trigger after the last scenario is finished, and I don't know where to put these events since they are triggered at the start of the scenario they're attached too.

I find the juggling of positive/negative numbers in the editor and in txt files confusing.
I try to glean some info from the stock campaigns, but the game has a habit of doing something different than expected whenever I try to edit campaign stuff.
Sorry, the old thread was confusing to me the first time and a re-read didn't help
Too bad, since the editor is usually quite intuitive (with a bit of event stuff thrown in).

Code: Select all

[Cabcaben]
location = -2.983, -7.099
scenario = Cabcaben
result = -1,-2,-3,-4,-5

This will create an event with image outcome_1, outcome_2, outcome_3, outcome_4, outcome_5 + text message outcome_1_title/text, outcome_2_title/text, outcome_3_title/text, outcome_4_title/text, outcome_5_title/text for major defeat, minor defeat, draw, minor victory and major victory respectively.

[Erik2]

Thanks, I'll experiment some more.

Erik by reading this conversation I think I know where the source of confusion comes from.

Events associated to scenarios pop up at scenario start and are defined in data.cmp file.

Outcomes should be defined in text_english.txt file.

[Erik2]

Yes, you're right.
I had modeled the campaign info on my last Philippines scenario on your last WInter War, but only in the data-file.
