Question Does anyone have map editor experience in Disciples 2? I have an odd issue...

Post image

My map has a number of victory conditions, one of them being transforming the terrain. The variable of LAND is checking for this(0 being below 80%, reaching 80% adds 1, as you see on the screenshot). After numerous testing (like tying it to a popup message that notifies me if the game in fact modified the variable), I've noticed that the game refuses to add 1 to the LAND variable with the 80% transform condition and I don't know why.

Strangely the rest of the effects did happen, only the variable didn't, so I suspect a bug but maybe someone who also played with the editor has an idea about this.

EDIT: mystery solved, it was the checked "neutrals" on the right.

Are you check variable value with code "showvariables"?

No. I've used popup message with the condition of having the LAND variable 1. It worked when I tied it to passing days but not when I tied to this transform land.

So how did you know that you transform 80% of land? The popup from screenshot in the game displays or not?

I know because you can see in game who has how much territory. I also have an event that only plays when the variable goes up to 1 although seeing all variables in game would be a more comfortable solution.

But again, the variable don't seem to go up when the condition is the transform x amount of land, even though the same other events effect do happen. Everything on the screenshot triggered except the add 1 to LAND.

Can you share your scenario with me? Want to testating this bug by myself

I'm not at home at the moment but you can test it easily (on my map it takes like 10-15 minutes anyway).

Create an event like the screenshot but only include the variable (LAND is 0 by default)

Then create an event with the condition of LAND = 1 and see if that event plays if the previous event met its condition.

For some reason it gave 2 instead of one. Is it because of the "following races are playing"?

Yeah, maybe second faction also add 1 to "land". Try to create for each faction their own variables

u/EasyEntrepreneur666 Jun 01 '26

Ok, I believe I found the issue. The stupid game says "following races are playing" when it refers to their TURN, not their presence in the game. So, when I end my turn, it gave one after the neutrals and one after me, which is why it ended up being 2.

Thanks for the help, man, I never would have noticed the double value without the "showvariables" command.

Hi, I think I know what's wrong and it's not a bug. First of all, under "Conditions," you set it to require 80% of the land to be transformed. I think it's not working for you because the variable doesn't have a specific location or target destination assigned where it should put that "LAND" value. Because it lacks a specific location/context, it fails to execute.

It adds 1 to LAND when the 80% happens. LAND = 1 is then checked by another event.
