Do titles have cultures?

The above now gives this error:

I believe this is a false positive.

Relevant code snippet:

Code:

			new_character = {                         #<-Scope for below province = [PREV|PREVPREV] statements.
				usurp_title = PREV
				set_defacto_liege = THIS
				
				if = {
					limit = { ROOT = { tier = duke } }
					wealth = 250
				}
				if = {
					limit = { ROOT = { tier = king } }
					wealth = 500
				}
				if = {
					limit = { ROOT = { tier = emperor } }
					wealth = 1000
				}
				
				spawn_unit = {
					province = PREV                        #<- No error thrown here, despite scoping to same thing as below error-throwing statement
					match_character = ROOT
					match_mult = 0.17
					earmark = prestige_revolters
				}
				create_character = {
					random_traits = yes
					dynasty = THIS
					religion = ROOT
					culture = ROOT
					female = no
					age = 18
					attributes = {
						martial = 10
					}
					trait = skilled_tactician
				}
				new_character = {
					set_father = PREV
					spawn_unit = {
						province = PREVPREV           #<- Above error thrown here
						owner = PREV
						match_character = ROOT
						match_mult = 0.17
						earmark = prestige_revolters
					}
				}

Edit: Didn't notice the error on province = PREV in line 550, which was listed several lines below the one for line 570's province = PREVPREV.
Regardless, the event spawns units in the usurped province, so this should be considered a false positive.

Edit 2: the same syntax is used in the Muslim decadence invasions (id 91000 in decadence_events.txt)

Still giving the same errors.

Okay, so you can have "culture = PREV" where PREV is a title, and it will work out fine?

Okay, the reason is that the Validator is not treating spawn_unit as a scope. So in actuality, spawn_unit does count as a scope?

It seems so.

Hmm, if you had a THIS in a spawn_unit, would it mean anything?

I will work on fixing this issue after I get back.

richvh · Nov 2, 2012

All the examples I can find have the province clause of a spawn_unit clause equated to either PREV or (in the case of Mongol invasion events) a literal.

I tried this test event with k_france and b_paris, and in neither case did my character's culture change to Frankish, or from what it had been at all, so probably not.

Still getting duplicate false positives for religion (though no longer culture):
"There may be no duplications of a "religion" clause. (Are you missing an 'or' or 'not' wrapper?)
There were 2 duplicates.
[I46255|L2579|C5]: religion = orthodox
[I46280|L2580|C5]: religion = ROOT"

I don't seem to be getting any false positives beyond that.

The Validator is categorizing titles by b_, c_, k_, e_, d_. nm_ doesn't fit in any of them so it doesn't know what kind of title it is which causes problems. What should it be doing here?

Yes it was in Vanilla (save a small test event), and I will... think I found a fix for it, since it's used in the vanilla Crusade CB.

The Validator is categorizing titles by b_, c_, k_, e_, d_. nm_ doesn't fit in any of them so it doesn't know what kind of title it is which causes problems. What should it be doing here?

These are mercenary units introduced by the Norse mod; probably should be d_'s.

Would things like top_liege, spouse, father, mother, and host work as well?

I think so.

So the Validator should treat anything that doesn't begin with e_, k_, c_, d_, b_ as a duke-level title?

I will add the liege/spouse/father/etc stuff.

Near-repeat of a previous error:

--- Error 1 of 1 ---
At <mod>\common\objectives\00_ambitions.txt [obj_ward_liege_child\chance\modifier[4]\NOT\culture] (Line 1923, Column 12):
No direct match found for culture (is the casing correct?). However, other possible matches in scope CharTrigger were found.
Left: ["culture"] Right: [Culture]
Left: ["culture"] Right: [ThisChar or ThisProv]

Code:

		modifier = {
			factor = 0.5
			NOT = { culture = liege }
		}
