Help needed with "No "Dark culture" children" event

"No "Dark culture" children" event

See a few posts down for a working version

-----

I am trying to write an event which changes "dark culture" children of christian rulers back to an acceptable culture, to prevent my ruler from becoming an arab catholic just because I own Jerusalem and it never converted its culture.

I have an event coded up which I think should work, but when I launched it to test, it didn't seem to do anything (I modded a savegame to give my catholic frankish ruler a catholic arab son).

Have I made a mistake somewhere?

	picture = "event_appearance"
	name = "Your child has been raised with a heathen culture"

		condition = { type = not value = { type = trait value = heretic } }
		condition = { type = or

	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {

			condition = { type = trait value = zealous }
			factor = 3

		modifier = {
			condition = { type = trait value = sceptical }
			factor = 0.75
		}
	}
	action_a = { #Unacceptable!
		ai_chance = 90
		name = "This is unacceptable!"
		modifier = { 
			condition = { type = trait value = zealous }
			factor = 1.5
		}
		modifier = { 
			condition = { type = trait value = crusader }
			factor = 1.5
		}
		effect = { type = culture value = set_to_realm_culture }
		effect = { type = prestige value = -10 }
	}
	action_b = { #And?
		ai_chance = 10
		name = "And? Why should I care?"
		modifier = { 
			condition = { type = trait value = proud }
			factor = 1.5
		}
		modifier = { 
			condition = { type = trait value = heretic }
			factor = 1.5
		}
		effect = {
			effect = { type = prestige value = 10 }
			effect = { type = add_trait value = sceptical }
			effect = {
				type = random
				chance = 30
				effect = { type = add_trait value = heretic }
			}
		}
	}
}

Event ID is random of course.

This effect isn't correct
effect = { type = culture value = set_to_realm_culture }

1) You can't assign culture in char event
2) set_to_realm_culture is a prov event effect

 

[jordarkelf]

Thanks, that must be why it fails.
Is there an equivalent charevent effect?

 

[ambrox62]

No, like I said before
1) You can't assign culture in char event

But, in provevent, it's possible to set capital's culture, so that newborn childs take benefits

Example:

Translate into (bad) english:
'Walking in the village around your castle, you are noised to stay among people not sharing your cultural's identity'
'It's time to set one culture only in a bloody way'
'It's better to pay unwanted citizens to go away'
'No, tolerance is good and I preserve it'

 

[unmerged(21937)]

You cannot change character's culture by events. The culture they are born with is the culture they die with.

 

[jordarkelf]

That's a shame. Savegame editing it is then.

Think I got a working version.

Worked for me in a quick test game. Triggered in my KOJ on my Arab son as he was four years old. I didn't see any non-bastard heirs of other christian realms with muslim capitals either.

Thoughts?

 

[Riddermark]

that's nice solution ! good job

 

[ambrox62]

Good !!!

It's a good event for kingdom, but county and duchy need to match region and area in order to trigger, I think

 

[jordarkelf]

Are you saying it doesn't trigger for counts and dukes? Because it seems to work for me. Maybe you don't see it happening because you need to lower the MTTH. I left it at two years because any time before the 16th birthday is good enough for me, and with this MTTH there is a reasonable chance it will fire within the first 6 years or so.

 

[ambrox62]

No, I am saying it doesn't have to happen for counties and duchies if they are in moslem regions or areas.
KoJ must have no-dark heir, but catholic CoSomewhere-near-J may have dark heir
