Whats wrong with these events?

[GreatWarrior]

I tried making events to make my rulers really good but they wont work I don't know why here are the events I made plz help!

#############################################################
# good stuff                                                #
#############################################################
character_event = {
	id = 1177

	picture = "event_intrigue"

	trigger = { 
		condition = { type = prestige value = 2000 }
		condition = { type = gold value = 20000 }
		condition = { 
			type = or 
			condition = {
				type = is_independent
			}
			condition = {
				type = is_vassal
			}
		}
		
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 240

	}

	action_a = {#Ok
		effect = { type = diplomacy value = 18 }
		effect = { type = martial for = value = 18 }
		effect = { type = intrigue value = 18}
		effect = { type = stewardship value = 18}


	}
}

character_event = {
	id = 1178

	picture = "event_intrigue"

	trigger = { 
		condition = { type = prestige value = 2000 }
		condition = { type = gold value = 20000 }
		condition = { 
			type = or 
			condition = {
				type = is_independent
			}
			condition = {
				type = is_vassal
			}
		}
		
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 240

	}

	action_a = {#Ok
		effect = { type = add_trait value = forgiving }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = energetic }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = merciful }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = wise }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = valorous }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = temperate }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = generous }
		effect = { type = add_trait value = honest }

	}
}

effect = { type = martial for = value = 18 }


What does the word "for" do in the line above??

You could just jack their stats up by editting the save file...

Anyway:

First off, do not script with event IDs below 10000. You will very likely run into conflict with something else (and that something else could be a hardcoded event with it's own reserved ID).

Next: your event #1177 has a syntax error in the martial line of the effects. You must specify the target character for a martial increase.

Oh...and you *do* realise that this is additive, right? Those stats will each increase by 18, not be set at 18.

All those spectacular traits you want to give yourself also require a target character to be specified in the event syntax.

Please check the event effects.txt file for a listing of allowable targets.

Have fun...er....modding.

Sytax is type = martial for = [target char] value = V so it's right...he just forgot to specify the target.

GreatWarrior, why don't you simply change your ruler's stats in the save file? That would be much simpler than trying to script events for it.

Unless, of course, you intend to do it on a more regular basis...

Sytax is type = martial for = [target char] value = V so it's right...he just forgot to specify the target.

I knew that - I was just trying to get him to take a closer look at his script.

(Actually I didn't know what was supposed to go there but I knew something was supposed to go there.) o

Thanks T.

 

[GreatWarrior]

Yea I was going to use it for a bunch of people and the id's i used were from other events i deleted lol. But yea I guess I will just edit the saved games

 

[GreatWarrior]

How do I specify a character for the trait events and would ruler_child do for a character? I wish CK would have explenation on that one site like other paradox games did. Becuase this is pretty confusing.

Um...where did "ruler_child" come from? You can't just make up a tag, it must be fully defined in the game as being applicable to that event library.

Available tags for character events are:

• liege
• father
• random_son
• worst_son
• best_son
• random_neighbor
• worst_neighbor
• best_neighbor
• random_vassal
• worst_vassal
• best_vassal
• random_courtier
• worst_courtier
• best_courtier
• random_enemy

Oh...and this should really be in the scenarios and mods forum, not the GD forum.

Moving it...

I don't think it works unless you add name = "..." under the id of the event unless you have written the name in the event_text.csv or the extra_text.csv, at least it doesn't works for me...

for = [target char] is optional.

If you want it to happen for this character, it should not be used.

ruler_child is a condition, not a [target char]

To the list of [target char] that MrT gave, you can add spouse
