Help needed in tweaking the Objectives.txt file.

obj_have_a_son = {
	type = character
	allow = {
		NOT = {
			any_child = {
				is_female = no
			}
		}
	}
	chance = {
		factor = 100
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			traits = loving
		}
	}
	success = {
		any_child = {
			is_female = no
		}
	}
	abort = {
		age = 45
	}
	effect = {
		family_prestige = 5
		religious_conviction = 3
	}
}

I was wondering if I could use a time limit to trigger the abort for this event. Would it be possible to have the event abort after 2 years, instead of waiting until the character is 45?

Also, I'm pretty new to modding and have a question regarding the trigger of this objective:

chance = {
		factor = 100
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			traits = loving
		}
	}

How can I tweak this so that it will only trigger 20% of the time?

Thanks!

This is just a wild wild wild guess (because I don't have the time to test it out this morning) but you should try: abort = { obj_whatever_it_is = 730 }. Let me know if that works.

EDIT: It works. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of that before.

abort = { obj_whatever_it_is = 730 }

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, "obj_whatever_it_is" is essentially a timer variable, counting down days?

Or did you mean for me to use "obj_have_a_son" and simply used the phrase "obj_whatever_it_is" to indicate whatever the objective name is?

You'd have to replace "obj_whatever_it_is" with the name of the objective, gnosticdogma just used it as a placeholder. So, in your case it'd be:

abort = { obj_have_a_son = 730 }

Cool. Thanks Cheexsta!

This is going to be fun. At least I can now have those objectives rotate out every year or so.
