is there a way to mod assassinations?

[telegraph]

subj.
I have searched the game files and it lead me to on_actions.txt file with a bunch of triggers like on_assassination, on_failed_assassination, etc...
but where those triggers are triggered from?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

on_actions.txt contains the pulses which tell an event to fire.
on_actions_events.txt contains the actual (character) events.

Did you want something else?

These triggers are triggered directly from the game engine.

What I want is: make assasinations more expensive in terms of gold and piety and change the chance of success/discovery.

You can change the price and piety cost of sending assassins in defines.lua

You can change the piety penalty for being discovered in on_actions_events.txt

You can change the chances for partial success in on_actions.txt but I don't know of a way to directly modify assassination chance outside the bonus on your spy master's network job.
