Event Help

[DocFlamingo]

Hey all. Working on an event and still haven’t quite gotten my head around these things. What I am trying to do: I have made planetary bombardment much more deadly and I want the three options to be “Ground Support,” “Bombardment,” and “Annihilation.” The third option will destroy the planet and turn it into a Tomb World. Here is what I’ve got so far:

namespace = nuke           #Nuke it from orbit; it's the only way to be sure.
 
country_event = { id = nuke.1     
               title = nuked.name
              
               desc = nuked.desc
              
               picture = GFX_evt_city_ruins
               is_triggered_only = yes
 
               trigger = {
 
               FROM = { is_ai = no }
                             
               orbital_bombardment = light                     #Change to full after testing (LINE 16)
 
               fortification_health = 0                 #(LINE 18)
                             
               NOT = {
               is_planet_class = pc_nuked}                        #(LINE 21)
}
 
               immediate = {
 
               FROM = {
                              every_owned_pop = { kill_pop = yes }
 
                              if = {
 
                              limit = {
 is_ringworld = yes
               }
                                                                          
                              change_pc = pc_ringworld_habitable_damaged
 }
 
                              if = {
              
                              limit = {
 is_ringworld = no
 }
 
                              change_pc = pc_nuked
 }
                             
}
               }
 
}

The error log is telling me the following (I’ve indicated the line numbers in the code to help identify them):

[08:52:12][trigger.cpp:322]: Invalid Scope type for trigger orbital_bombardment in events/nuke_planet.txt line : 16
[08:52:12][trigger.cpp:322]: Invalid Scope type for trigger fortification_health in events/nuke_planet.txt line : 18
[08:52:12][trigger.cpp:322]: Invalid Scope type for trigger is_planet_class in events/nuke_planet.txt line : 21
[08:52:12][eventmanager.cpp:188]: Event nuke.1 has no options in events/nuke_planet.txt

So, what am I doing wrong?

 

[Onimuru]

You want the game to identify if a fleet has orbital_bombardment = light but it can't because it's in a country scope.

 

[Onimuru]

Use one of the on_actions, monthly or daily.

on_daily_bombardment = {
    events = {
        planet_event =  ##
    }
}



planet_event = {

    id = nuke.1

    is_triggered_only = yes

    hide_window = yes

    trigger = {

        not = {
            is_planet_class = pc_nuked
        }
        fortification_health < 1

        FROM = {
            owner = {
                is_ai = no
            }
            orbital_bombardment = full
        }

    immediate = {

        every_tile = {
            limit = {
                or = {
                    has_grown_pop = yes
                    has_growing_pop = yes
                }
            }
            kill_pop = yes
        }

        if = {
            limit = {
                is_planet_class = pc_ringworld_habitable
            }
            change_pc = pc_ringworld_habitable_damaged

            else = {
                change_pc = pc_nuked
            }
        }
    }
}

This will now check if the trigger is met on a daily/monthly basis and then execute.

 

[Onimuru]

Alternatively you can use the full_bombardment on_action with a mean time to happen

 

[DocFlamingo]

Okay, I think I see. Question, what goes in
planet_event = ##


Is it the event namespace or the event name itself?

 

[Onimuru]

on_daily_bombardment = {

is an on_action and the the event would be your main event's ID
