[2.3.2] Rumours Tower Event Can Never Trigger

[knuckey]

The event in question can be found in rumours_events.txt, event id 69016, titled 'Suspect of Incest: Child notices you and sister alone in a tower'

The trigger for this event can never be fulfilled, this is due to the following piece of script:

any_child = {
			NOT = {
				father = {
					character = ROOT
				}
			}
			NOT = {
				mother = {
					sibling = ROOT
				}
			}
			age = 6
			NOT = {
				age = 15
			}
			NOT = {
				trait = maimed
			}
		}

ROOT, who is always male, must have a child whose father is not ROOT, which is clearly impossible. I personally suspect that any_child is intended to be any_courtier (and consequently random_courtier instead of random_child further on in the event).

I just looked over the events for this and you are mistaken. Everything looks fine.

The code:

			NOT = {
				father = {
					character = ROOT
				}
			}

Checks that the father of the child is not the target of the event. So only a child who is not yours - or your sisters - is allow to find you. I suspect the reason it is not seen often is more to do with event 69014. Since you need to be landed to have it trigger and then it checks courtiers and then applies the required flags for this event to trigger. Since the characters to see this event will be courtiers, the only way you could see event 69016 is if you suspected your child of it and they inheritted after they were given the flag.

any_child checks the character's own children, though.

So it does, this is why people need to be clearer when making reports.

...well, that is what knuckey said. And the any_child is right there in the part of the code he quoted. Seems like it's pretty clear.

 

[Dracko81]

No he didn't. Not once was it mentioned that any_child is limited to the scoped character.

I doubt the QA guys remember what every command does in the scripts so stating that is rather important.

 

[knuckey]

Ha, I didn't realise I had to spell out to Paradox how their own script works.

Thanks for the report, this issue has been added to the internal database.

Biggest facepalm I've seen on the forums in recent memory.
