[HELP] Getting planet id, name and position inside a planet_event

[thesolaris]

Hi everyone,

So I'm trying to create a Mod that would enable tracking planet.

So I created an event Chain, and a planet_event that add a point of interest in the event chain.
Thing is, I don't know how to fetch the planet info while inside the point of interest definition,
any ideas?

Here's the code where i'd like to get the info:

option = {

name = "ok"
trigger = { NOT = { has_planet_flag = tracked_planetoid } }
create_point_of_interest = {

id = planet_id
name = planet_name
desc = "test"
event_chain = track_chain
location = planet_location​

}
hidden_effect = {

set_planet_flag = tracked_planetoid​

}​

}

name = "I am tracking [ROOT.GetName]"
location = ROOT

id is tricky. It does not seem like they can be dynamic. So you have to use: id = my_tracking.1 and if you want to use a second tracking you have to hardcode a second event/chain/etc.

Arf, no way to use the ID of the planet like "id = target.[ROOT.getId]" ?

 

[thesolaris]

name = "I am tracking [ROOT.GetName]"
location = ROOT

It doesn't seem to work... also, any idea why when executing the command on a planet I don't own, I don't get the popup nor does it add a child in the event chain, but the planet still get the flag I give it in the "option"?

I am having the same problem, it worked before but now it not working :?

The only thing that matters here is location. The ID and name are not related whatsoever to the planet, they are POI specific (POI id and what will show up in game as the name of the POI). To get the planet, just use random_owned_planet with specific conditions in limit and save it as an event target, then just use location = event_target:EVENTTARGETNAME.

I know theyr are POI specific, but I can't handle multiple track if the POI all have the same Id, so I need to find a way to make them variable, like by inserting the planetID in it.

I am pretty sure that's impossible, sadly.

Maybe if you track 'quest progress' with planet_flag instead of PoI you could create unlimited parallel chains.

either that or make "special projects", but only if we can make them uncompletable...

Also wouldn't that make it so ANY country would have them "located" ? I mean, if you put a flag on a planet, it's there for everybody right? unless you can make a variable flag name?

That's what I was wondering as well. How do flags work in multiplayer. Is it only for the localplayer or everybody?

Well, flags are for each separate entity, so I don't really see how they would work different in multiplayer - they would be global. The only difference would be having a human player instead of AI.
