Summary​

1.9.2.1 : House Feud events can trigger even if the killer is not known

Description​

The house feud events that trigger when a character dies, do not check if the killer is known. So for example, if a character dies to "mysterious circumstances" (aka murdered without the killer being known), the house feud event can trigger, giving the house head the opportunity to start a feud against the killer...even though the killer is not known.

Steps to reproduce​

The reason is simple, the scripted trigger house_head_can_start_feud_against_trigger in 03_bp1_scripted_triggers.txt does not check if the killer is known.

You can filter out these situations by including a check like this :

NOR = {
		# Is not part of same family as target House Head
		is_close_family_of = $TARGET$.house.house_head
		# Is not friendly with target House Head
		has_any_good_relationship_with_character_trigger = { CHARACTER = $TARGET$.house.house_head }
		# Target House must be different
		house = $TARGET$.house
		scope:house_feud_victim = {
			OR = { 
				death_reason = death_mysterious
				death_reason = death_vanished
			}
		}
	}

In the above code, i am checking if the victim died due to mysterious circumstances or vanished. I'm not sure if there are more death reasons that should be filtered out like this.

But does revealing the secret murderer also give you a potential chance to launch a feud ?

You mean, if you find the secret via other means and then choose to reveal it? I didnt test that. You would have to see if revealing a secret triggers the house feud event or anything similar. Would probably be an on_action.
