Script help: run count and skip count?

[g4geisha]

Can you all tell me what these numbers mean please? The series of scripts is basically side 1 at start of turn check primary flags in objectives and add prestige. It works the first time with run count 1 and skip 0 but not in turns afterwards. I have a script for each possible number of objectives for each side so I'm hoping to get it right before changing 14 scripts. Thanks

Try setting run count to whatever your turn limit is.

In theory, if you set your trigger to fire 'start of side 1 turn' then it should run at X start of every side 1 turns.

For example:

This set up (I tested it and it works) means that for the first 10 turns of the game, every time side 2 starts its turn, the total scenario turn limit increased by 5.



I know it's working because once the turn counter says X/60, the 60 no longer changes. Hope that helps!

As for skip count, it's not a feature I personally like to use, but I think it's a very literal thing. You must to fulfill a trigger's requirement SKIP COUNT TIMES before it successfully fires a single time. I think. As I said, it's not something I'm a big fan of using, so I tend to avoid ever invoking it. This comes down to presentation and communication of information though.

Cool thanks will try that and report back. I was thinking that too but also thought it might run the script x times each turn and wanted to be sure.
