How does the event system work?

[Jamie550]

I'm wondering what the scopes are for province, character, letter, diploresponse, and narrative events are? I'm guessing that province events have province scope and character events have character scope, but what about the other three? Also, what scope do events have to be in the on_actions file?

In an event, can you have something crazy like prevprevfromrootprevfromfromfrom or are the forms more restricted?

what scope do events have to be in the on_actions file?

in the on_actions im pretty sure (90%) that they HAVE to be character_event, as i have only had those work, and also i think it was baneslave who said to me that you can only use character_event in on_actions.

 

[Baneslave]

All but province event are all in character scope.

Events in on_action must be in character_scope.

AFAIK, only prevprevprev... work.

Thanks guys.

Can anyone track down what calls these triggered-only events? I can't seem to find the source.

IDs: 4075, 6062, 4160

Also, is THIS allowed to be used in events just like ROOT or is it not?

 

[Baneslave]

It is not used in any vanilla event, so most likely not.

(What would THIS even do, compared to ROOT?)

 

[apg]

you can write:

limit = {
    if = {
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    }
}

sometimes that is a good way of specifying things.

Hmm okay.

Also, is the trigger num_traits or num_of_traits? I see both in the event files.

Also, what is the difference between the wealth and treasury triggers?

 

[Jamie550]

Also, does anyone have a list of valid triggers/commands, or a guide to events, or anything?

Paradox was working on one... Few weeks back, IIRC.
