Hello !
I have a quick question that have probably been already asked but I didn't go trhough the 1544 pages...
My question is, I have created on_birth event, that seems to trigger correctly. The aim is to set a flag onto the child :
- If the father has a certain trait, then the child as certain chance to get the flag
- If the father has a certain other trait, then the child as a certain another chance to get the flag
- If the mother has a certain trait, then the child as certain chance to get the flag
- If the father has a certain other trait, then the child as a certain another chance to get the flag
- (you can have the flag only if one of the parents has a trait, so no trait, no flag for the child)
So here's the code, mainly copied from JonStryker's Witcher Kings Mod (who I thank for) :
The problem is that every newborn seems to possess the hidden_big_potential flag. But i want them to get that potential only if one or more of the IF are true.
So does the sum of "chances" has to be below 100 ?
What should i do to make sure only a fraction of the population would get the flag ?
Thanks in advance for your answer !

Did you mean for them to be in the option block or immediate block? It sounded like you didn't intend to present the character with options to choose from and click.
Additionaly, it seems more efficient to use modifier = { factor = #.# condition } instead of if blocks depending on the logic you're going for.

It's probably a very simple problem, but some superficial searching hasn't lead me to a solution. Currently, my titles have defaulted to Iqta government, and I wish them to be feudal. Where would I go about changing this?
two quick questions, trying to add in three societies for the west african religion, assassin, satanic and monastic. how do I go about it from scratch? also for tribal invasion i like trolling as a zoroastrian irish count trying to become the prophet reborn but with the new patch hoping to give him tribal invasion so I dont have to spend ages rebuilding. Thanks ;}~
I'm not entirely sure your answer was for me but I tried it anyway, it doesn't seem to work...
And replacing OPTION by IMMEDIATE doesn't work as well, nobody's the FLAG...
I've tried many solutions trough the day but it doesn't seem to work.

You mixed up the location of "trait" and "father/mother" on each line, and you are missing an equal sign after each "trait" (where "mother"/"father" should be).
So I have a problem where I have more text than will fit in an event box. The event is called by decision. I tried changing the narrative_event to long_character_event, both in the event itself and in the decision that calls it, but it wasn't noticeably any different.
Is it possible to mod in a new type of event? like a "bigger_narrative_event" or something? failing that can I mod the normal narrative_event box to be bigger?

Your syntax structure does seem completely wrong, but I don't think your script should run at all. Are you sure it's your script that's flagging all of the new borns? Is there another script that could be doing it? Did you load a fresh save before any flags were set to test the script each time?
Basically, what you're currently doing is
1. (??? happened)
This event gets called.
2. If (nonsense limit) is true, then 15%~17% chance to set this flag x 4.
I don't know if the limit clause is nonsense results in the if block being treated as always true.
even if you added = after trait, what you'd end up with is
"if this character has a trait named "{father = big1 }", which is obviously not the trait's name, so this would always return fail and there should be zero chance for the flag being set."
I'm not entirely sure what the logic you're going for so I was wondering what you come up with if you revised it to immediate and factors.
I think what you'r trying to do is something like:
Code:
random = {
chance = 15
modifier = {
factor = 0
NOT = { father = { trait = big1 } }
}
set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential
}You may also want to read the examples on the modding wiki in particular http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Scripting to better understand the syntax.

long_character_event works, and it's very noticeable. You must've used it wrong.
If it loads without crashing, it will run... partially. What usually happens with mangled code is that the interpreter ends up skipping some parts, and continues from where the code starts making sense again. Sometimes it ends up skipping to the next event in the file, effectively merging them.
It causes all kinds of weird results, and is a complete pain to debug.

Your syntax is wrong. Try this:
Code:
character_event = {
id = big.1
hide_window = yes
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = OK
if = {
limit = { father = { trait = big1 } }
random = {chance = 15 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}
if = {
limit = { father = { trait = big2 } }
random = {chance = 17 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}
if = {
limit = { mother = { trait = big1 } }
random = {chance = 15 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}
if = {
limit = { mother = { trait = big2 } }
random = {chance = 17 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}
}
}By the way, that code doesn't check for cuckolds. So you pretty much need something like this for the father instead, if you want to accurately pass on congenital traits:
...and yes, you should use *_even_if_dead for such checks. Because father doesn't work if the child is born after his death; father/mother automatically return false for dead characters.
Code:
father_even_if_dead = { save_event_target_as = father }
if = {
limit = { is_father_real_father = no }
real_father_even_if_dead = { save_event_target_as = father } # Overwrite the event target if cuckold
}
if = {
limit = { event_target:father = { trait = big1 } }
random = {chance = 15 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}
if = {
limit = { event_target:father = { trait = big2 } }
random = {chance = 17 set_character_flag = hidden_big_potential }
}...and yes, you should use *_even_if_dead for such checks. Because father doesn't work if the child is born after his death; father/mother automatically return false for dead characters.

Two questions, both hopefully easy -
1) Is it possible to get DNA info from a character to use in an event ? I am writing a flavour event and I want to be able to add text such as "His cold <blue> eyes seemed to gaze right through you . . . " and "Her <blonde> silky hair glistened in the sun . . .".
2) If I create a new decision and put both custom triggers and AI weights (but with no modifiers), what will happen if an AI character does not satisfy a trigger ?
For example, if I have four options all with an ai_chance of 10, then presumably each outcome has an equal 25% chance of occurrence. But what happens if a particular AI character does not satisfy say options 3 and 4 - are his chances now 50/50 on the remaining two options or still 25% each, but with a 50% chance of no outcome at all ?

how is one supposed to use it then? I changed the "narrative_event" to "long_character_event" in both the events.txt file and in the effects field of the decision that calls it, yet when taking the decision, the event looks exactly like it did as a narrative event

Can someone help me with this problem? I want to able to add more building slots to all of my holdings, so I could build more castle, church or cities.
Code:
title_decisions = {
holding_slots_decisions = {
filter = owned
from_potential = {
ai = no
}
potential = {
tier = COUNT
has_holder = yes
}
allow = {
NOT = {num_of_max_settlements = 7}
}
effect = {
add_holding_slot = FROM
ROOT = {
holder_scope = {
any_realm_province
}
}
}
ai_will_do = {
factor = 0
}

I have been trying to make a province event.
The following code is from /events/
And the following is from /common/event_modifiers/
But when I use a console command to run the event, the game crashes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
The following code is from /events/
Code:
province_event = {
id = my_id
desc = my_desc
picture = my_picture
trigger = {
owner = {
religion_group = christian
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
years = 3000
}
immediate = {
add_province_modifier = {
modifier = my_modifier
duration = -1
}
}
option = {
name = my_optionname
}
}
Code:
my_modifier = {
local_revolt_risk = 1
local_tax_modifier = -0.9
local_build_time_modifier = 9
local_build_cost_modifier = 9
levy_size = -0.9
supply_limit = -0.9
galleys_perc = -0.5
icon = 76
}I presume that you have proper ids and namespace in the actual event, instead of just 'my_id' etc?
add_province_modifier needs name flag, not modifier. Other possible cause is that you're trying to run it from console for an ID that doesn't exist (or is actually a character, not a province).
I recommend making a testing decision instead of using console. To make sure that things get run in the proper scope. Such as:
Code:
targeted_decisions = {
testing_decision = {
filter = all
ai_target_filter = all
from_potential = { ai = no }
potential = { always = yes }
allow = { always = yes }
effect = {
location = { province_event = { id = <event_id> } } #Run event in the province where the targeted character is located.
}
ai_will_do = { factor = 0 }
}
}

I have finally managed to have it work, mixing those two solutions. I have done what Admiral Boysen said, but using the father_even_if_dead to be sure. I will move to Zaltys complete solution when the whole event chain will work correctly. I need to do something else or I will give up
Thanks all for your help !
Now, let's go trying to add some trait icons...

I managed to upload a mod successfully to the steam workshop, when I was testing it, it worked fine. However when I download the mod I made it'll show up fine but not work.
My .mod file is set up like this
and my descriptor.mod is set up like this
What am I doing wrong?
Also while I'm asking about it, what is the current way to upload a mod to the steam workshop optimally? Most guides are old/deleted/outdated or only have some of the steps.
