Modding/adding territory or province modifiers

[Emre Yigit]

In EUIV, it was possible to create an event along the lines of:

province_event = {
    id = emre.300
    title = "flavor_rus.EVTNAME3404"
    desc = "flavor_rus.EVTDESC3404"
    picture = MILITARY_CAMP_eventPicture

    trigger = {
        is_year = 1444
        owned_by = BYZ
        NOT = { has_province_modifier = supply_increase }
    }

    mean_time_to_happen = {
        months = 1
    }
  
    option = {
        name = "flavor_rus.EVTOPTB3404"
        add_province_modifier = {
            name = "supply_increase"
            duration = -1
        }
    }
}

In Imperator, I've tried

ey.1 = {
    type = state_event

    trigger = {
        owned_by = JUD
    }
  
    immediate = {
        add_state_modifier = {
            name = supply
            duration = -1
            mode = add
        }
    }

}

and

ey.2 = {
    type = country_event
    title = "Supply Increase"
    desc = "provincial_events.1.desc"
    picture = city_construction
  
    left_portrait = current_ruler
    right_portrait = scope:governor_of_province
  
    goto_location = scope:governorship_capital
  
    trigger = {
        num_of_cities >= 1
        owns_or_subject_owns = JUD
        NOT = { has_variable = supply }
    }

    immediate = {
        set_variable = {
            name = supply
            duration = -1
        }
    }
}

and

ey.3 = {
    type = state_event

    trigger = {
        num_of_cities >= 1
        owns_or_subject_owns = JUD
        NOT = { has_variable = supply }
    }

    immediate = {
            set_variable = {
                name = supply
            }
        add_state_modifier = {
            name = supply
            duration = -1
        }
    }
}

none of which seem to even fire.

I'm floundering. Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

OK, I have an answer to this, though it may not be terribly useful.

The syntax foe events in I:R is more complicated (but more useful, perhaps) than in EU4. In the end, I wrote the event as follows:

emre.1 = {
    type = country_event
    title = "city.16.t"
    desc = "city.16.desc"
    picture = farming

    trigger = {
        is_ai = no
        tag = JUD
        any_owned_province = {
            NOT = {
                has_province_modifier = supply
            }
        }
        NOT = {
            has_variable = emre_city
        }

    }

    immediate = {
        set_variable = {   
            name = emre_city
            days = 2
        }
        random_owned_province = {
            limit = {
                NOT = {
                    has_province_modifier = supply
                }
            }
            weight = {
                modifier = {
                    factor = 10
                    trade_goods = grain
                }
            }
            save_scope_as = emre_city_target
        }
    }
    
    option = {
        name = "city.16.a"
        scope:emre_city_target = {
            add_province_modifier = {
                name = supply
                duration = -1
            }
        }
    }

}

However, it still didn't fire, and I started to notice that events in I:R didn't have days or months to fire. So I thought I'd amend the on_action/00_monthly_country_pulse.txt as follows:

monthly_country_pulse = {

    events = {
        rel_flavor_druidic.10
        dhe_rome.9
        dhe_judea.2
        dhe_judea.3
        dhe_judea.4
        dhe_judea.5
        dhe_judea.7
        family_events.1 #Rise of a Family
        family_events.2 #Prune Family
        family_events.5 #Rise of new Royal Dynasty
        family_events.6 #Tribal family rise
        family_events.7 #Tribal family fall
        family_events.9 #Rise of Family in Republics
        emre.1

(rest unchanged)
    }

and it worked.

Yeah, events can only really be fired by on_actions and other events.

Btw it's important to know some syntax
the smallest unit is the territory, but in the files, this is called a province, some triggers might also call it a city, so this can be confusing.
The provinces in game are called areas and states. Areas refer to the whole province, state refers to the portion of a province owned by a single country. A province can have multiple states because of different countries, but only one area.
Then there's regions and governorships, and governorships are to regions what states are to areas.

Yes, this was confusing.
