Liege -> Vassals support

[Arkady]

Hi,
I just started creating of some events that reflect Liege - Vassal support

You can give your vassal money for build royal castle in his province...

Clarification needed
You can not check if your vassal has exact improvement build and then fire another event for him, right ?


events:
I check if ruler has vassals, enough money, advance and improvement build, MTTH is modified by martial stat, some traits and gold, you can then decide give money to random vassal (trigger event for him) or drop it

triggered event for vassal is with two options, build it, castle is build and loayalty is increased or defalcate money (not all) , this trigger another event back to liege

events are for small castle and antoher for medium castle
problem is when vassal has castle already build and accept it...you lose money and nothing more is build....

is possible in triggered event check improvement, if presented then fire event else fire another event ? probobly not , or is it?

....and please can you assign me some id range ?

 

[Arkady]

Suggestion and feedback needed
EDIT: I finished those events, works fine and frequency seems to me right

for extra_text.csv add this

ACTIONNAME20500A;Build Small Castle!;;;;;;;;;;x
ACTIONNAME20500B;No, It Is Not Necessary!;;;;;;;;;;x
ACTIONNAME20501A;Let's Build It!;;;;;;;;;;x

this events put in existing event file or create new one and don't forgot add line to events paths

MTTH modifiers should include some martial education too (decrease time) and maybe increase for some traits

from action_b (30001) should be fired another event to liege

similar events should be for medium castle

What do you think ?

Hi,
Clarification needed
You can not check if your vassal has exact improvement build and then fire another event for him, right ?

No, there's no way to test if the vassal has any improvement built in any of his demesne provinces. Nor for any other information about the vassal.

is possible in triggered event check improvement, if presented then fire event else fire another event ? probobly not , or is it?

No, if an event is triggered by event, there's no way to put additional decision conditions in the event.

What you might want to consider is making these province events, where a vassal can request aid from his liege to build it, decide to pay for it himself, or choose not to build it. That way you can be sure that you won't be trying to build a small castle in a province that already has one. Trigger on:

trigger = {
  condition = {
    type = is_vassal
  }
  condition = {
    type = gold
    for = liege
    value = 2000
  }
  condition = {
    type = not
    value = {
      type = gold
      value = 500
    }
  }
  condition = {
    type = has_advance
    value = {
      hill_fort = yes
      small_castle = yes
    }
  }
  condition = {
    type = has_improvement
    value = {
      hill_fort = yes
    }
  }
  condition = {
    type = not
    value = {
      type = has_improvement
      value = {
        small_castle = yes
      }
    }
  }
}

....and please can you assign me some id range ?

Done.

How about events for the other things the AI never bothers to build?

• Courts of justice
• training grounds
• civilian harbors
• churches
• schools

etc.

How about events for the other things the AI never bothers to build?

Apparently it is being fixed in 1.03, so IMO we shouldn't spend time on coding those.

 

[Arkady]

richvh: yep, it is better solution check it from "bottom", from vassal ...but there is a problem that when I trigger event for liege I can not return it back when liege choose yes or not....


this events should reflect building royal castles in vassals provinces...no other improvements...(ok, brewery should be , rights was always granted by ruler)

 

[Arkady]

Post removed, actual version of events is above. Arkady

 

[richvh]

ai_chance works a bit weird in 1.02. To get a 50/50 split you have to set ai_chance for action_a to 4 and ai_chance for action_b to 5. 80/20 would be action_a 7 and action_b 2. In short, divide desired percentage by 10 and, for action_a only, subtract 1 from the result. I did some extensive testing on ai_chance, which you can find in the thread of that name in the bug forum.

ok, thx

Events finished and successfully tested...triggering frequency is ok
