Creating Buildings???

[BeingDS]

How can I make a building that can only go in certain provinces?

For example, a Port building that can only go in port cities, or a Farm building that can only go in cities with "Farmland" terrain, or a Mine building that can only go in Hill provinces that have Iron, Gemstones, Base Metals, etc.?

This is not working (building shows up, but can be built in any city, not just ports, even in provinces with zero coastal cities):

port_building = {
    trigger_if = {
        AND = { 
            province.is_port = yes
            NOT = { province.owner.is_tribal = yes }
        }
    }
    local_commerce_modifier = 0.15
    supply_limit_modifier = 0.1
    local_ship_recruit_speed = -0.025
    local_state_trade_routes = 1
    global_capital_trade_routes = 0.1
   
    cost = 200
    time = 210
   
    order = 5
}

I have also tried can_build_building = { limit = { ... }} instead of trigger_if... but no success.

I haven't sat there and tried every possible iteration but I would guess the buildings don't support triggers because of how simplified they made the system. Four buildings applied to all provinces and that's it; maybe they will add trigger functionality if they ever expand their own buildings options or if there is strong enough modding request.

Your best bet for this would be to remove their building UI and create your own building system from scratch (not easy, but doable).

Making a scripted gui will also allow you to easly edit your building back in should they ever change the entire build system

Thanks for replying. I can't understand why they would ever think that making things like this hard/impossible to mod would be a good idea. They know their modders by now. It's like they want us to be mad at them.

have you tried the keyword

allow = {
    province.is_port = yes
}

that might work becuase the use that for miltary_party

allow = {
   NOT = { is_tribal = yes }
}

the sope might be country not provence so try this one too

You could theoretically go and make a "visible =" argument to the container of buildings that are created.
You can then write:

visible = "[Not(And(EqualTo_string(BuildingItem.GetBuilding.GetName, 'YourBuilding'), EqualTo_string(ProvinceWindow.GetProvince.GetTerrainName,'Hills')))]"

For a building named, YourBuilding (Name from localisation) you can just make the second EqualTo_string argument to an Or() and include several TerrainNames that this building should not appear in. So, it is certainly doable, but you would have a very big line of conditional logic that is very hard to read.

Example for YourBuilding, appearing in every terraintype but not in Forest and Hills:

visible = "[Not(And(EqualTo_string(BuildingItem.GetBuilding.GetName, 'YourBuilding'), Or(EqualTo_string(ProvinceWindow.GetProvince.GetTerrainName,'Hills'), EqualTo_string(ProvinceWindow.GetProvince.GetTerrainName,'Forest'))))]"

So instead of making it so that the building cannot be built in a certain province, it would be "buildable" there, but not visible.

Yes, but ultimately I would recommend scripted GUI if you have more than two new buildings. Would certainly involve less headache

I tried this and didn't work:

aestii_building = {
    global_population_growth = 0.5

    allow = {
        OR = {
            country_culture_group = baltic
            country_culture_group = proto_european
        }
    }
 
    order = 5
    cost = 10
    time = 30
}

Triggers are def not working..

 

[Arier]

I had this problem too.
I'm making mod "War of Conquest". We, as Targaryens, can conquer all world, but I've decided, that I'll add some magic and magical buildings. I've just made them too expensive to build them and I've made decision. But it's not good decision, when you'd like to spam it everywhere.

It looks like they do not have any intention of making buildings moddable based on the screenshots for upcoming version; they are putting the building list horizontal which means they don't intend for it to scroll or expand. I plan to work on a building system at some point with a scripted GUI that allows flexibility for modding; when I do I will make the framework available for other people to use for buildings in their own mods. (no promises on when that'll be done though).

How? Would be interesting to see. I did building mods for Hoi4 and IR, too.

Since the actual building system is threadbare and no real modding commands (you can add a level of building but you can't start construction or remove buildings) I was going to use the scripted GUI functions to create a new interface and the "buildings" would just be province modifiers. Similar to what I've done with state-level buildings for the next version of my I:R mod.

I see, thanks. I was thinking about that, too.

I'd certainly be interested in that.

Does anyone know if there is a guide on the forums for the scripted GUIs? I've messed around with them a bit and figured out the basics, but there's a lot I don't know.

Same here. This could solve many of my problems.
