408) BUG: Event 1199, a dagger in the dark

[Dignitas]

Event assassination changes "Player Character"

I, the King of Scotland, Duncan Dunkeld was assassinated by my daughter Joan, who is also my Spy Master, during the "a dagger in the dark" event. The event fired, my king died, young Joan got the kinslayer trait and my Kings son inherited. Everything fine so far.
But from then on, all Player Character Events that are meant to be focused on my monarch, were focused on Joan instead. For example the "you are obliged to loan money from moneylenders"-event. It no longer changes the piety and money of my monarch, but of little young Joan.

<edit: self-deleted post, just realized that Dagger in the Dark is an event, seperate from assassination. Looking at it now >

Edited two of my children to satisfy the event conditions. One male, one female. Gave both the deceitful trait, set age > 25 and intrigue > 10.

##########################
# A dagger in the dark!  #
##########################

character_event = {
	id = 1199
	picture = "event_crime"
	
	trigger = { 
#		condition = { type = random_son }
		condition = { type = age value = 25 }
		condition = { type = intrigue value = 10 }
		condition = { type = trait value = deceitful }
	}

Event is not supposed to be triggered by daughters, only sons.

Triggered event 1199 in console for each character. Neither got a "trigger unsatisfied" message. Seems as if "condition = { type = random_son }" is not working.

I did not experience the misplaced prestige/piety that you did. That may be an issue related to your game. Can you reproduce the circumstances and see if it happens again?

This event is only supposed to trigger for sons? I've had it trigger for all sorts of people, including randomly generated (parentless and relative-less) courtiers, random cousins, men, women, etc. It's definitely not restricted to sons as it currently works.

Even though it says "You" the event is aimed at the correct character. Joan evidently went into debt (dagger was costly?) and the moneylender event was aimed at her. Check to see how much gold she has.

Poor daughter. Helping your son beomce king by assasinting the current king and going into debt...makes you almost want to shed a tear at her loyalty.

It's working alright, look at the code, there is a # at the beginning of the line, which means this line has been commented and is not parse by the scripting engine

As I understood the original post, this resourceful daughter killed her father to make place for her brother, not for her son?

No matter which, it is that sort of innovative shortcuts to real problems that drive the world towards a brighter future. She should be an inspiration to us all.

Cheers, Joan!

Anyway, there is a bug there, as it could trigger even if the father is already dead, as it is...

I'll look into it.
