Changing provincereligion by decision

[[B@W] Abominus]

Greetings, I tried to let the andalusians move to northafrica, but my decision seems not not work right:

province_decisions = {
	Andalusier_unter_5000 = {
		potential = {
			owner = {
				OR = {
					culture_group = iberian
					primary_culture = basque
					primary_culture = catalan
				}
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_1 }
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_2 }
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_3 }
			}
			culture = andalucian
			NOT = { citysize = 5000 }
		}
		allow = {
			owner = {
				religion_group = christian
				innovative_narrowminded = 2
				treasury = 500
			}
			NOT = { religion_group = christian }
		}
		effect = {
			culture = THIS
			religion = THIS
			multiply_citysize = 0.6
			set_global_flag = andalusier_1
			owner = {
				treasury = -500
				badboy = 5
				innovative_narrowminded = 1
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
		}
	}
}

All effect occur, but not the change of the religion . Why does it change to castille, when I'm castillia, but my catholic religion doesn't change the muslims...

You need to specify a religion. "THIS" does not work.

[orwell]

Is there a particular reason you always post your code in blue and green? Makes it hard to read without highlighting it, at least on my computer.

To get around the non-working 'religion = this' command you can create a separate decision for each possible owner religion and check the owner's religion in the 'potential' triggers so he won't see the decisions that don't apply. If you do this then the 'owner = { religion_group = christian ' trigger in the 'allow' section becomes unnecessary.

No need to go that far; it's easier to add in a couple of conditionals like this:

random_owned = { 
	limit = { owner = { religion = catholic } }
	THIS = { religion = catholic }
	}
random_owned = { 
	limit = { owner = { religion = protestant } }
	THIS = { religion = protestant }
	}
random_owned = { 
	limit = { owner = { religion = reformed } }
	THIS = { religion = reformed }
	}
random_owned = { 
	limit = { owner = { religion = orthodox } }
	THIS = { religion = orthodox }
	}

Very nice use of scope changes. That certainly looks like it should do the job.

[dharper]

...Just make sure to put it in an owner scope; I forgot to mention that above.

I tried it, but it does not work:

				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_3 }

			culture = andalucian
			NOT = { citysize = 5000 }
			region = iberian_peninsula

}

I tried it, but it does not work

That's why I mentioned the owner scope afterwards. Try this:

		effect = {
			owner = { 
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = catholic } }
					THIS = { religion = catholic }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = protestant } }
					THIS = { religion = protestant }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = reformed } }
					THIS = { religion = reformed }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = orthodox } }
					THIS = { religion = orthodox }
				}
			}

[[B@W] Abominus]

province_decisions = {
	Andalusier_unter_5000 = {
		potential = {
			owner = {
				OR = {
					culture_group = iberian
					primary_culture = basque
					primary_culture = catalan
				}
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_1 }
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_2 }
				NOT = { has_global_flag = andalusier_3 }
			}
			culture = andalucian
			NOT = { citysize = 5000 }
			region = iberian_peninsula
		}
		allow = {
			owner = {
				religion = catholic
				innovative_narrowminded = 2
				treasury = 500
				missionaries = 2
			}
			NOT = { religion_group = christian }
		}
		effect = {
			culture = THIS
			owner = { 
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = catholic } }
					THIS = { religion = catholic }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = protestant } }
					THIS = { religion = protestant }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = reformed } }
					THIS = { religion = reformed }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = orthodox } }
					THIS = { religion = orthodox }
				}
			}
			multiply_citysize = 0.6
			set_global_flag = andalusier_1
			owner = {
				treasury = -500
				badboy = 5
				innovative_narrowminded = 1
				missionaries = -2
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
		}
	}
}

Hm...
If I make any fault, I do not find it...

[dharper]

What religion are you?

[[B@W] Abominus]

Catholic

[dharper]

In that case I don't know why the code isn't working. Sorry! You may have to try the other solution written above: a separate decision for each religion.

Sounds good to me .

[jdrou]

dharper's code is working for me in a more generic province conversion decision (basically a cheat as it is right now).

province_decisions = {
	convert_religion = {
		potential = {
			owner = { ai = no }
			OR = {
				AND = { religion = catholic owner = { NOT = { religion = catholic } } }
				AND = { religion = protestant owner = { NOT = { religion = protestant } } }
				AND = { religion = reformed owner = { NOT = { religion = reformed } } }
				AND = { religion = orthodox owner = { NOT = { religion = orthodox } } }
				AND = { religion = sunni owner = { NOT = { religion = sunni } } }
				AND = { religion = shiite owner = { NOT = { religion = shiite } } }
				AND = { religion = buddhism owner = { NOT = { religion = buddhism } } }
				AND = { religion = hinduism owner = { NOT = { religion = hinduism } } }
				AND = { religion = confucianism owner = { NOT = { religion = confucianism } } }
				AND = { religion = shinto owner = { NOT = { religion = shinto } } }
				AND = { religion = animism owner = { NOT = { religion = animism } } }
				AND = { religion = shamanism owner = { NOT = { religion = shamanism } } }
			}
		}
		allow = { }
		effect = {
			owner = {
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = catholic } }
					THIS = { religion = catholic }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = protestant } }
					THIS = { religion = protestant }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = reformed } }
					THIS = { religion = reformed }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = orthodox } }
					THIS = { religion = orthodox }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = sunni } }
					THIS = { religion = sunni }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = shiite } }
					THIS = { religion = shiite }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = buddhism } }
					THIS = { religion = buddhism }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = hinduism } }
					THIS = { religion = hinduism }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = confucianism } }
					THIS = { religion = confucianism }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = shinto } }
					THIS = { religion = shinto }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = animism } }
					THIS = { religion = animism }
				}
				random_owned = { 
					limit = { owner = { religion = shamanism } }
					THIS = { religion = shamanism }
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

If you are only allowing the decision if the owner is Catholic rather than your original 'religion_group = christian' you don't really need this complicated code; just say 'religion = catholic'.

[dharper]

Just as a side note, there's a new trigger called "has_owner_religion = no" that would cut down on the length of your trigger considerably.

Doh!
It's even in the triggers file in the sticky thread (added in IN 3.0).

I just had the catholic in the trigger, because I only wanted to test it .
The final decision will have religion_group as trigger...
