Hello,

I'm learning a bit of modding and have some basic questions. As can be seen the mod is very simple and a bit self indulgent.

I have created my own bloodline and an event to attach it to any character. I fire it via console and the bloodline propagates correctly, which is cool. I have these two events below which i have the question about.

Both events work but only one character at a time over approx 12 months but does catch all them eventually. I was expecting the event to fire on all characters at the same time. As a test i put the event GEARY.2 in the 'on_startup' which worked and fired for all characters at once. Is the 'on_yearly_pulse' and 'on_decade_pulse' working as intended or am i missing something in the events?

#Add Immortal trait to Adult males with Geary Bloodline --> on_yearly_pulse
character_event = {
    id = GEARY.2
    
    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes
    
    only_men = yes
    min_age = 16
    
    trigger = {
        any_owned_bloodline = { has_bloodline_flag = geary_blood }
        immortal = no
    }
    
    option = {
        name = OPT_GEARY.2.1
    
        add_trait = immortal
        set_character_flag = immortal
    }
}

# Stat increase every 'on_decade_pulse' for immortal char's. Life experience.
character_event = {
    id = GEARY.4
    
    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes
    
    only_men = yes
    min_age = 26

    trigger = {
        immortal = yes
    }
    
    option = {
        name = OPT_GEARY.4.1   
        
        change_diplomacy = 1
        change_martial = 1
        change_stewardship = 1
        change_intrigue = 1
        change_learning = 1
        
        set_character_flag = immortal_xp
    }
}

Regards
Jaime

The on_<time>_pulse on_actions do not fire for everyone at once by design, as that would cause a big lag spike every time the pulse happened. The pulse is randomised for every character, so it is spread out over the year/decade. Things work exactly as you describe.
