How does the event mean time work? Most events have day=1?

[AnssiA]

I was looking at the Child of Destiny (and some other events) code,

Spoiler

character_event = { # Extra chance for player children to become Children of Destiny
id = HF.199
hide_window = yes
is_triggered_only = yes
only_playable = yes
ai = no
max_age = 8

trigger = {
has_dlc = "Holy Fury"
has_game_rule = {
name = child_of_destiny
value = on
}
NOR = {
was_conceived_a_bastard = yes
trait = bastard
trait = legit_bastard
}
OR = {
is_tribal = yes
is_feudal = yes
is_nomadic = yes
}
NOR = {
any_owned_bloodline = { # Must not already have a Child of Destiny bloodline
has_bloodline_flag = bloodline_ambition
}
is_ill = yes
is_inaccessible_or_incapable_trigger = yes
has_negative_congenital_trigger = yes
AND = { # Should be able to legally inherit
is_female = yes
OR = {
has_religion_feature = religion_patriarchal
liege = {
has_law = agnatic_succession
}
AND = { # Non-randomized muslims usually prohibit women from ruling
religion_group = muslim
NOT = {
has_alternate_start_parameter = { key = religion_names value = random }
}
}
}
}
AND = { # Should be able to legally inherit
is_female = no
OR = {
has_religion_feature = religion_matriarchal
liege = {
has_law = enatic_succession
}
}
}
any_dynasty_member = { # Only one per dynasty at any one time
has_character_flag = is_child_of_destiny
}
}
}

immediate = {
save_event_target_as = child_of_destiny
set_character_flag = is_child_of_destiny
set_character_flag = ai_flag_refuse_concubinage
set_character_flag = no_court_invites
father = {
narrative_event = { id = HF.201 days = 15 }
}
mother = {
narrative_event = { id = HF.201 days = 15 }
}
child_of_destiny_journey_start_effect = yes
health = 1

character_event = { id = HF.306 }

if = {
limit = {
has_global_flag = cod_test_events
}
any_player = {
character_event = { id = HF.307 }
}
}

change_variable = { which = global_children_of_destiny_childhood_pulse_player value = 1 }
}

weight_multiplier = {
days = 1

modifier = { # Having a super-parent boosts the chance
factor = 3
OR = {
father_even_if_dead = {
has_top_tier_education_trait_trigger = yes
is_attractive_trigger = yes
has_pleasant_personality_trigger = yes
}
mother_even_if_dead = {
has_top_tier_education_trait_trigger = yes
is_attractive_trigger = yes
has_pleasant_personality_trigger = yes
}
}
}
modifier = {
factor = 3
trait = strong
}
modifier = {
factor = 3
OR = {
trait = genius
trait = quick
}
}
modifier = {
factor = 3
trait = fair
}
modifier = {
factor = 0.25
any_owned_bloodline = { # Let's try to avoid stacking created bloodlines
has_bloodline_flag = created_bloodline
}
}
modifier = {
factor = 5000
has_global_flag = cod_test_values_spawns
}
}
}

but the weight_multiplier is in few days. How do I actually find out what is the base time for event to fire so that I can then calculate the estimate mean time after the modifiers?

 

[jumbi]

Weight multipliers modify the chance of the event being fired in their random block in the on_actions file. In the case of HF.199, its base chance is 1 in 10.000, checked yearly.

yearly_child_of_destiny_chance = {
    9999 = 0
    1 = HF.199
}

NOR = {
any_owned_bloodline = { # Must not already have a Child of Destiny bloodline
has_bloodline_flag = bloodline_ambition

does this mean I can not have a child of destiny if I have forged a BL only via the Ambition, or do all others also count, like warrior Lodge BL, immortality BL and immortal Alexander?

 

[Varren]

The bloodline_ambition tag is applied to bloodlines that make you more likely to become Ambitious. That's the Child of Destiny, Alexander the Great, Immortality, and Boudica bloodlines.

(I have no idea if you can actually get the Boudica bloodline, but it's there in the code.)

The forged bloodline doesn't disqualify you, but all non historical bloodlines, including saintly ones, reduce your chances by 75%, unless, as Varren pointed out, they are one of the above.
