CK2 inheritance law behaviour location.

[Scottx105]

Hi, this is my first time modding and I've looked through a ton of the files in CK2/common but can't for the life of me find the behaviour that governs how the inheritance law works. Btw when I mean inheritance law, I mean the behaviour that governs the "set_protected_inheritance" behaviour. I'm trying to modify it so when the law is enacted vassals cannot inherit land between separate internal kingdoms within an empire.

set_protected_inheritance uses hardcoded logic. To get the behaviour you seek, you need to create a set of events to implement inheritance restrictions, though this could get very messy and the displayed heir in the title and character screens would rather frustratingly not necessarily be the true heir. Alternatively, you could create a new succession law to restrict this kind of inheritance but it would need to be an elective-type law

I was afraid someone would say something like that... I don't see how an elective system as you described would work. All I can think of is in the event of a characters death with no actual heirs or siblings, grant the province to the vassals king. And in the event disallow external inheritance is not in force just allow the normal rules to apply. Do you happen to know what the event is for when a character dies and the land gets given to the closest relative?

 

[jumbi]

Inheritance isn't handled by event. There are on_actions that can be used to fire events when titles change hands, however

Now I know why nobody has modded this before, why isn't there documentation that clearly outlines what every event ID is. I'd have to spend hours experimenting.. You would have thought the dev's would have put a bit more time into naming stuff properly. Like I've got events here like 8250.. All I can tell is it's a plot event. Aside from that I've no clue what it does.
