Trying to show messages for debugging, not sure my patched routine is being called

[EvZone]

Hello,

Using Harmony, I'm trying to patch CustomBattleMoraleModel.GetImportance() (for kicks, mostly) which checks if the killed agent is the team's general. In that case, I put a

InformationManager.DisplayMessage(new InformationMessage("Killed General ! Flee ye little rabbits !"));

to try and check if the function is called. However this doesn't show anything, as far as I can tell.

In std_module_strings_xml.xml, I found the line

<string id="3wS4uOvU" text="{TROOP_NAMES_BEGIN}{?IS_PLURAL} and {?}{\?}{TROOP_NAMES_END} {?IS_PLURAL}are{?}is{\?} skirmishing from behind." />

which I know is used in battle (since I saw it on one of my test runs) to produce the type of message I'm looking for. However searching for 3wS4uOvU in code yielded nothing, so I imagine it's a hashed out string...

Anyways, how would you go about making sure your function is called? I'd even be down to doing a call exit() of sorts, if it existed. Anything visible would be fine.

Setting a breakpoint and use the VS debugger would be my suggestion. The game will completely pause until you click "Continue" in the IDE.

See my post here if you're not sure how to set VS to debug the game: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...n-in-taleworlds-core-dll.406984/#post-9313888
