Character Event scripting problems with the for = syntax

I have found that:

effect = { type = intrigue for =
effect = { type = diplomacy for =
effect = { type = stewardship for =
effect = { type = piety for =
effect = { type = gold for =
effect = { type = prestige for =
effect = { type = fertility for =

are not working(they cause an lhs error when trying to start a scenario/existing game with events with such types of increases)

I have not had a problem using these types with no target... it is only when I tried using them in "for = target" situations that I am getting these errors.

What about the two stats that aren't on your list: health and martial? Can those take targets, or didn't you test that?

martial and health have both checked out in my preliminary tests... and they are already part of existing events in the lordship_events.txt

From lordship_events.txt(event 1114):

action_a = { # Friendly Champion win
		effect = { type = gold value = -25 }
		effect = { type = prestige value = 75 }
		effect = { type = health for = random_courtier value = -1 }
	}

I changed the type = health to type = intrigue and got an error... then I changed it back, and it ran fine...

I just ran this event:

character_event = {
	id = 20850
	picture = "event_crime"
	
	trigger = { 
	}
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 360

		modifier = { 

		}
	}
action_a = {
		effect = { type = health for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = martial for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = intrigue for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = diplomacy for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = stewardship for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = piety for = random_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = gold for = random_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = prestige for = random_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = fertility for = random_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = health for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = martial for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = intrigue for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = diplomacy for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = stewardship for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = piety for = best_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = gold for = best_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = prestige for = best_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = fertility for = best_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = health for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = martial for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = intrigue for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = diplomacy for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = stewardship for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		effect = { type = piety for = worst_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = gold for = worst_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = prestige for = worst_courtier value = -50 }
		effect = { type = fertility for = worst_courtier value = -1 }
		
}
}

Lines 17-23, 26-32 and 35-41 all resulted in errors... I invite you to try this for yourself.

I have made the .txt file of this script available for testing here. Just right click and save it.

Can you make those lines bold, because i don't want count!

 

[Bismarck]

the lines that have the errors are the ones that DO NOT have a type of either health or martial... all the others record as errors.

Confirmed that that isn't working - neither on 1.02 or my version of 1.03. I don't have a 1.00 gold installer handy but if you happen to have a clean, un-pathced release version could you check to see if it will run on that. (Just want to see if it's omething that's become broken or if it's always been broken)

Overall, though, very odd...

I will ask Bjering about it on Tuesday too (Monday being a holiday in Sweden).

Still broken in a fresh 1.03 install.

If you ignore the error, events with the for = syntax will still run... however, the effects will hit the person that triggered the event and not the one targeted.

For example, if your king triggered an event that was supposed to increase the intrigue of his spymaster, the King would get the benefit, not the spymaster.
