MrT said:For future reference, I just did a test. The maximum allowable characters in an event is:
Main event text: 275
Action Buttons: 52
Orlando said:Let me see if I understand the MTTH concept. Very roughly it states that if you give a value of 100 days you will get around X% chance of happening each day, so the gauss bell will center in 100 with more or less large tails in every direction?
Cat Lord said:Yes, very roughly this is the case, but because the number of events poll in a year is not that much, it is quite wrong for very low MTTH value (less that a year), and also, for very big MTTH value, you probability of happening is lowered by the few number of poll in a year.
MrT said:No, this is not the case because you are under the false assumption that polling frequency is static - i.e. has a fixed and predetermined frequency. This is, to put it bluntly, utterly wrong and can lead to some rather nasty miscalculations. This is why I have always stressed in any post where I discuss events and mtth values that events are dynamic (i.e. even the polling frequency of them is dynamic) and that great care must be taken when chosing mtth values and that it should be followed up with playtesting to confirm that you are getting the desired results.
MrT said:Yes, there is a very precise means by which you can collapse this to produce a statistically predictable model, but that method is covered by NDA.
1 - exp(-T/MTTH).
Right. It has a chance to fire - greater or lesser depending on the MTTH calculation - as long as the trigger is satisfied. The only exception is events triggered by other events, which only applies to character events - province events can't trigger other events, or be triggered by other events.Mikon Orod said:so, if I have understood, an event cant fire as soon as the trigger is satisfied... right?
Actually, most events with "normal" mtth valuaes can be expected to be polled about 3-4 times per year, but that isn't guaranteed to happen.richvh said:The early education events (choosing education track for children) have an MTTH of 1 day, but sometimes take 3 years to fire. I think somewhere MrT said that each event is only guaranteed to be checked about 3 times per year. Certainly when I was testing the bugginess of ai_chance in 1.02 I saw no significant difference in frequency of my test events firing whether the MTTH was 1 day or 1 month.
...they didn't change the math.- Reduced the scaled values for basically all events.
