Let me specify the kind of event I'm trying to portray here. King dies, King's 4 year old son steps into reign.
Is there a way that when they step in, you can cause it (based on his age) to trigger an event to give the Child-King an "Underage" or "Child King" flag, that would then work as a trigger to other events within the kingdom?
For instance, say you have a very popular governor that has Loyalty < 50% to begin with, and the Child-King rises to power, the Governor/General/Whatever is insulted that he would then have to work for such an inept child, and it would allow for a series of events that would reduce his loyalty further, spark rebellions, civil war, etc?
Me.
Edit: Oh, and then when the child-king comes of age (say 16-17), another event would trigger automatically that would remove the flag....
Glancing over the childhood events, yes ^_^ .
To code an example of the event you have in mind...
Code:
character_event = {
id = 80040
triggers = {
NOT = { loyalty = 50 }
popularity = 75
is_governor = yes
country = {
any_child = {
is_ruler = yes
NOT = { age = 14 }
}
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 24
modifier = { factor = .5
traits = proud }
}
title = "I won't serve a sniveling whelp!"
desc = "My pride compels me to disloyalty."
option = {
name = "Just try and order me!"
ai chance = { factor = 100 }
loyalty = -10
}
}
Alternately, you could do this...
Code:
character_event = {
id = 80041
trigger = {
is_ruler = yes
age = 14
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 1
}
title = "I am a child king."
desc = "I am too young to know any know better."
option = {
name = "Poor me"
clr_character_flag = childking
}
}
character_event = {
id = 80042
trigger = {
any_child = {
is_ruler = yes
NOT = { age = 14 }
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 1
}
title = "I am no longer a child king."
desc = "I know better now."
option = {
name = "Poor me"
set_character_flag = childking
}
}
To get your tag for events. Essentially, you can check for the tag, or is_ruler and age.
I don't think the any_child scope is necessary, but I threw it in anyway.
A Child King trait would be handy, though, to have a penalty to ruler popularity; you could have a similar tag for a senile king.
... But it got your attention, no?

I found the EU3 one and it seems to fit most of the time but the differences are confusing. Hee! Anyway, according to what I found if you create a text file of the same name it replaces the core file when the mod is loaded. So apparently you would need to copy the entire contents of the core file over into the mod folder and add your intentions in, and it would build with that file instead.
