Several modding/save game file questions

[unmerged(175287)]

Alas indeed...

edit: since we all know I cant spend a day without asking something, here's another one.
How does the dna found in the savegame file work? I faintly recall reading somewhere that that's how trait were passed to the heirs.

Are the traits chosen completely at random, meaning schyzophrenia can be inherited just as chastity? Or are they hard-coded, as so many things are ;_;?

Oh, and before I forget, whats the difference between opinion_of = n and the opinion = { trait = value? The latter is obviously how a person with trait x regards one with y, or at least a sort of modificator, but I dont get whats the former for...

And while we are talking of traits, can you set something like periodic_score = health = -1? I guess not, but still gotta ask...

DNA controls only the character's appearance, not traits, I am almost 100% certain. Traits like schizophrenia are only handled by events, which are completely modable.

Keep your questions related to the thread in which you post them. Some of your question in this post don't in belong the modding-guide threead.

Ah, sorry about that. I just wanted to avoid making multiple threads for relatively small inquiries...

Another question btw.

Can type = random chance include subdivisions?

something like

effect = { type = random chance = 60   	     # Main A
		effect = { type = random chance = 80 # Subdivison A

                      }


                      effect = { type = random chance = 20 # Subdivision B

                      }

}#Closing bracket for Main A
                      effect = { type = random chance = 40 # Main B
		effect = { type = random chance = 80 # Subdivison A

                      }


                     effect = { type = random chance = 20 # Subdivision B

                      }

}#Closing bracket for Main B

I know abour random lists, but the effect of them and something like this would be different.

edit: found the answer to the questions in the first post, except for the periodic_score = health = -1 one. By now im almost sure it is not the case, though.

Can laws be modded? im asking because of the female inheritance event included in DVI.
