Set_out_fight_town_loaded call

[Callie]

I've looked at how the call was used in Valley of Dying Things, and it doesn't seem to be used differently than the way I'm trying to use it. Whenever I enter the encounter, the town used for the fight is one of the cave towns in the Blades of Avernum Out Fight file. The town I intend it to use is an import from the Out Fight file, but edited so that it has a lot of bushes and more terrain frills, in addition to a few cliffs away from the center. Here's the script:

 

Code:

beginstate 12;	if (get_flag(200,2) != 0)		end();	set_out_fight_town_loaded(7);	message_dialog("The nearby bushes, once quiet, now stir violently.  Within moments a troop of bandits reveals itself from the foliage.  They seem to recognize their prey, and they're not surrendering their ground anytime soon.","");	create_out_spec_enc(1);break;

 

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Your problem is, I think, the line in the documentation which says:

Quote:

This call only has an effect when it is

called as a result of the party encountering a group of creatures outdoors.

If you want to use this call, I think you need to set the encounter to call an outdoor script state when met, and put the call in that state.

Thank you. I had thought that it would also work when calling an encounter, but I guess not.
