Trying event editor for the 1st time, need help.

[Jasmine005]

Ok so new to this and wanted to try it out. So I've got my dialogue and I've chosen background and music, but when I play it the dialouge goes but there is no background or music. what am I doing wrong? It's only 1 line of dialogue.

[Cosmik Debris]

Make sure you have it Music > Background > Dialoige.

[Jasmine005]

You kind sir are AMAZING! Thank you so very much and after i thought about it, I did an immediate facepalm to forehead at how rather obvious in now seems to me, LoL.

How do you get any changes you've made to a historical event after you've created one to take effect? One event didn't happen when i epected it to, even though i put as game started as a condition so I went and tried changing it, but it keeps telling me that the changes won't take effect is this ok? When i try leaving the editor.

You mean how to comit changes after you've gone to "Create/Change > EventName" and added/altered it?
When you are done be sure to click the "Confirm" button NOT "Quit"

Or do you mean how to actually turn the vents on?

You want "Crate Event Set" then select an "Event Set", 1 through 4. The "Edit" button lets you add custom events to the set and the "ON" button turns that set on so all the events in that set will be enables in-game.

I do. I go into the event I made, make a change on the result or condition, press confirm. I make certain its in the event set. Then make certain that I toggle in game every thing checks out there. But when i go to leave the editor to the main menu to start a new game it tells me your changes to the historical event will not be active is this ok. I swear I am pressing confirm on everything. The only thing that I can think of is the greyed out box under the conditions box.

After you turn the even set on go back to the "Create Events" main menu and hit the "Toggle In-Game" button. You will get a message says "Events that are 'on' have been placed in-game. (Registered Historical Events: #)

I am, and it started to activate right in the begining where it was suppose to, so i decided to add another result to the event and bam, it adds more conditions and now no matter what it just won't activate now. ugh I'm trying, really hard not to become sp pissed off. I got so excited to see that for a moment it worked and now nothing.

[Jasmine005]

still in game, feel like I'm just going through the motions now, I've started so many new games it ain't funny.

[Cosmik Debris]

Some reults have mandatory condtions. These contions will be grey in the conditions list.
If a Result requires certain conditions then either meet those Conditions or remove the Result.

Also if the result you are after is harder to get you could just make it a seperate event.

It took me a while to get used to it but then again I only made one simple event for marraige between officers.

ya, the more results you add to an event, the more variables it will add for it to trigger, the 2 biggest conditions ive found to effect if it triggers the most is, character must be active and character not marching, so if you character is in a unit in the field and that condition is applied, that event wont happen, also you cant do marriage alliance events if the maiden in question isnt of age yet as they arent considered active, even though they show up in the maiden list which makes it hard to marry a underage maiden through the event editor if your just an officer but if your a daimyo then a workaround is to just change the result to clan trust is 100, then just activate said alliance yourself right away

Just an example, of why an event might not trigger, there are many more obviously but you just need to trial and error, ive become quite good with the editor myself as ive already created quite a few 5-6 part event storylines for my created character across various scenario's
so if any issues you may be having, let me know and i can try to find why it not working and a possible workaround

[Skidvar]

I also had trouble with triggering an event. Had often changed some things in it and it worked fine after I pressed the "toggle event in-game" button in the menu again.

[Jasmine005]

I'm going to try to post some screen shots later, thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it! Not giving up, no way, just had to take a break last night from it. But the jist of what I want to do is make an event for when Shingen Takeda hires my created character at the start of the game, with the result of increasing his friendship. Greyed out aspects are both my character and Shingen are active not marching, and the game just started. Not quite certain why its not activating. Both Shingen and myself are obviously sitting in the same castle not marching. Starting scenario is 1562 struggle to survive.

[Skidvar]

Why don't you have a workaround and do it when you visit him for the first time (player character same clan as visited character / visited officer = daimyo / friendship visited officer > 10). Should work like that and you can use it with more scenarios. "Not marching" greyed out should be good, that the scenario just started shouldn't be there then. ;)

[salatrin]

Do you mean an event detailing him hiring you even though you have already put your created character in his force at the start of the scenario and just want to gain the friendship? Based on your greyed out aspects, im assuming you have 2 results each of you player gaining friendship and another for Takeda gaining friendship? and thinking also game just started you set yourself and it not greyed out.

If im right then you just need to remove the player gaining friendship part as the player cant gain friendship with others cuz you determine yourself who your friends are, only other people have friendship towards you. so basically result options would be just this one.
Takeda Shingen
"insert value of your choice"
increase
Then do all your details for the event, then confirm, then go to "create event set" register that event u just made into any one of the 4 then confirm again, then highlight that event set and click on, then back at the event menu screen, click on "toggle in-game" then start it and it should be good to go, then you can add to it from there just make sure anytime u do anything in event editor, if it a new event register it to your event set that you want it part of, then hit toggle in-game and if you edit an existing event,also make sure to hit toggle in-game before you exit back to main menu or it wont work.

Also by the way a bit off topic, the event editor with just a short simple event, completely breaks the lord system of this game :P

Just set conditions to visit command executed, and player is lord, and you can also add a before or after date to limit yourself how often you use this little cheat, then for result put visited officer joins players house, then in description, check the repeat option and from
that point on EVERY officer in your force that you visit when you are a lord will join your house, no questions asked, no influence needed and u can use as often as you want depending on your before/after date choices.
Your welcome :P

What do you mean, nobody gets promoted to lords in any clan then?
