So like this?

    # Ruler
    ruler={
        gender=female
        name="Kathleen Savage"
        portrait="human_female_04"
        texture=0
        hair=1
        clothes=4
        ruler_title="King"
        ruler_title_female="Queen"
        trait="trait_ruler_logistic_understanding"
        trait="leader_trait_fleet_organizer"
    }

Yes and no. Right now you can only define ruler traits for the leader. But the syntax is correct.

 

[Doctor Arheo]

Speaking of Rulers, there doesn't seem to be a way to reference a Ruler's gender pronouns in localisation keys. If this is the case, this could be a useful addition.

(If I'm doing it wrong, apologies!)

So with the changes to Regnal names I noticed in my Divine Mandate Empire that the "random name" feature pulls from non regnal names. In my game I went with the full name "Snake in the Eye" which is a full_name on my custom name list.

Now the problem comes when the leader dies my heir uses regnal_first_name with "in the eye" as a last name.

So does it not use regnal_last_name anymore? Instead based on the last name used for your leader made in creation?

- Added calc_true_if trigger.
Example usage:

calc_true_if = {
    amount = 2
    has_monthly_income = {
        resource = energy
        value > 5
    }
    has_monthly_income = {
        resource = minerals
        value > 5
    }
    has_monthly_income = {
        resource = influence
        value > 5
    }
}

Which will return true if you have more than 5 monthly income in at least 2 out the three resources designated by the triggers. Inside the calc_true_if block any trigger should work.

This is quite cool and will cut down on the complexity of OR AND calcs.

- Added new localisation promotions.
- Added new localisation functions in SpeciesScope; GetNamePlural, GetClass, GetClassPlural, GetNameInsult, GetNamePluralInsult, GetNameCompliment, GetNamePluralCompliment, GetSpawnName, GetSpawnNamePlural, GetOrganName, GetMouthName, GetRandomSpeciesSound.
- Added new localisation function in LeaderScope: GetRulerTitle.
- Added trigger has_spaceport_construction.
- Added trigger is_researching_technology.

The localisation promotions added are the following:

Spoiler

(Armyscope).Leader -> (Leaderscope)
(Armyscope).Planet -> (PlanetScope)
(EmpireScope).Ruler -> (LeaderScope)
(EmpireScope).Heir -> (LeaderScope)
(EmpireScope).Species -> (SpeciesScope)
(ShipScope).Fleet -> (FleetScope)
(FleetScope).Leader -> (LeaderScope)
(FleetScope).System -> (SystemScope)
(SystemScope).Owner -> (EmpireScope)
(SystemScope).Sector -> (SectorScope)
(LeaderScope).Species -> (SpeciesScope)
(PlanetScope).Leader -> (LeaderScope)
(PlanetScope).Sector -> (SectorScope)
(PopScope).Species -> (SpeciesScope)
(SectorScope).Leader -> (LeaderScope)

Yes and no. Right now you can only define ruler traits for the leader. But the syntax is correct.

I took the leader_trait from 00_ruler_traits.txt it may be that leader_trait_fleet_organizer, leader_trait_nervous and leader_trait_hive_mind are missplaced in that file and should be in 00_generic_leader_traits.txt instead then, or should infact be ruler traits and should be changed to trait_ruler_ instead of leader_trait_.

My mistake. You are indeed correct. I thought it was a generic leader trait because of the tag but it does seem like it's actually a ruler trait.

As I understand it, we have:

set_building
remove_blocker
create_spaceport
set_spaceport_module

but only:
add_building_construction

Will be new effects like:
add_spaceport_construction
add_spaceport_module _construction
add_blocker_removing
?

 

[Iyur]

add_building_construction

Does it work?

 

[hadaev]

Does it work?

Yes.

 

[Iyur]

Yes.

Could you show me the code, please?

 

[hadaev]

Could you show me the code, please?

Like it
every_owned_planet = {
every_tile = {
limit = {
exists = pop
has_building = "building_basic_power_plant"
}
add_building_construction = "building_power_plant_1"
}

 

[Iyur]

Got this, tnx. The problem was in requirements for the certain buildings, construction couldn't start in some cases.

 

[Divine]

set_building
remove_blocker
create_spaceport
set_spaceport_module

add_building_construction

add_spaceport_construction
add_spaceport_module _construction
add_blocker_removing
?

Can you please check for me that it's posted in the suggestions thread. I will probably prioritize it quite high for the sake of consistency but it might get lost if it's not on the list.

You mean repost to Modding Suggestions? Done.

Thanks.

- Fixed an issue with random_owned_fleet effect.
- Added every_owned_fleet effect to complement random_owned_fleet.
- Added is_subject and is_overlord triggers.
- Fixed an issue with the potential trigger in country edicts not always hiding the edicts.
- Debug tooltips should now also show event flags and variables for countries and event flags for fleets and ships.
- Added any_subject trigger.
- Added every_subject, random_subject effects.

 

[Captain Gars]

Update:

- Added subtract_variable effect
- Added multiply_variable effect
- Added divide_variable effect
- Variable effects and triggers can take a scope as value
- Variable effects and triggers can take a variable name as value

multiply_variable = { which = test1 value = test2 }
subtract_variable = { which = test1 value = FROM }

The first example will multiply test1 with test2. The second one will subtract FROM's test1 from test1.

 

[Zednosius]

Sweet, having more control with variables will be nice.

Do you have any plans of adding more queueable fleet actions in the near future? (being able to merge them would be nice, wink wink)

 

[Iyur]

- Added subtract_variable effect
- Added multiply_variable effect
- Added divide_variable effect

It's really cool.
@Captain Gars Any plans for usual arithmetic operations with vars and other parameters?
