MINIMOD [coming soon] The LOAN engine

[tompalmer]

Hi people,

I found the CK2+ loean feature rather limitate so I contructed one on my own.

FEATURES :
*******
2 types of Loans :
Asking a bank : which is the actual ck2+ system (thank's WIZ).
Asking your vassals

Crispy feature, if you don't refund your loan, the bank will fund a pretunder to overthrow you !
State of devellopment, as you may not know I'm a shitty coder, so I 'm a bit stuck with the vassal event chain, giveme thoughts !

#I want to take a loan
character_event = {
	id= 64420
	desc= "EVTDESC64420"
	picture = GFX_evt_council
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA64420" # Confirm Borrow money from a vassal
	ai_chance = {
		factor = 1
		}#ai
	character_event = { id = 64421 tooltip = "EVTTOOLTIP64421" }
	any_vassal = {letter_event = { id = 64421 days = 10 tooltip = "EVTTOOLTIPxxx" } }
			}#opta
	
	option = { 
		name = "EVTOPTBXXX" #change my mind
		}#optb

	}#evt


# Vassals receive the request
letter_event = {
	id= 64421
	desc= "EVTDESC64421"
	picture = GFX_evt_council
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA64421" #ACCEPT
		FROM = {
			if= { 
				limit = {
							wealth = 200 #controls if he has enough money
						liege = { primary_title = { tier = EMPEROR } }
				
				transfer_wealth = {
					to = PREVPREV
					value = 200
						}#xfer
					}#if

				if = {
					limit = {
							 wealth = 150 #controls if he has enough money						
                             liege = { primary_title = { tier = KING } } 
							}#lim
				transfer_wealth = {
					to = PREVPREV
					value = 150
						}#xfer
				}#if
				if = {
					limit = {
						wealth = 100 #controls if he has enough money
						liege = { primary_title = { tier = DUKE } } 
							}#lim
				transfer_wealth = {
					to = PREVPREV
					value = 100
						}#xfer
				}#if
				if = {
					limit = {
							wealth = 50 #controls if he has enough money						
							liege = { primary_title = { tier = COUNT } } 
						
							}#lim
				transfer_wealth = {
					to = PREVPREV
					value = 50
						}#xfer
				}#if
			}#from
		}#opt


		option = {
			name = "EVTOPTBXXX" #REFUSE
			character_event = { id = 64424 tooltip = "EVTTOOLTIPxxxx" } #Ruler informed of refusal

			}#opt
		}#evt


#Ruler informed of the loan attempt result
letter_event = {
	id = 64223
	desc = "EVTDESC64223"
	picture = GFX_evt_tyroshi

	is_triggered_only


		option = {
			name = "EVTOPTA64223" #OK

			}#opt
		}#evt

A few things I see:
* IF should be if
* There should be only one { between if and limit
* The wealth test should be inside the braces after limit
* You're missing a closing } for the final event

Ok I did the changes, I'm not familiar with scripting AI so I don't really know what to add to make that look nice.

Also use

 instead of spoilers.  Or I guess code inside spoilers would work, too.  It lets us see how you've formatted it.  I'll go through and apply Richvh's suggestions because they pop right out at ya.  One thing I think he misses is that all = should have spaces around it.  Id =  not Id= .  I don't think IF if or If matters.  The Validator thinks it does, but that thing is stupid.  

Also I'm not good enough to read it vertical like that, so the reformatting helps me understand it.  One last trick is the comment out #comment feature.  I use this at the end of my clauses to help me keep track of what closes what.

I added one option to the first event, because a confirmation event without an option to back out is a notification event.

I hope cleaning it up like this helps you. Generally my theory is that I build my events to work first, and then add on little modules of code as I go. Slowly. Methodically. Loading CK2 and testing every 5 minutes. But doing that helps me learn exactly what breaks events when I make changes.

I can tell that this event will not do what you want it to do, but once you get it working, you will figure out how to add more constraints so that it acts as you want it to. Part of the learning.

Winmerged and cleaned the code. Thank you waylit1

This leaves the question about how to handle AI (can't see a proper tutorial about it)

 

[waylit1]

Well, you put the ai_chance under the option and then decide how you think it should work. The numbers are all relative. So I set the preferred option at 1, and then use decimals for the modifiers. All decimals must be 0.1 not .1.

Here is from my code:

This is a 20% chance option. But if they are wroth, it goes up to a 200% (2x) chance, but if they are also humble it will be dropped back down to 20% again. If they are not wroth, envious, or proud, but humble, it becomes a 2% chance option.

ai_chance = { 
			factor = 0.2 

				modifier = {
					factor = 10
					trait = wroth 
					}
				modifier = {
					factor = 10
					trait = envious 
					}
				modifier = {
					factor = 20
					trait = proud
					}
				modifier = {
					factor = 0.1
					trait = humble
				}	
			}#ai

You can do all sorts of other things below factor...I think basically anything that is a trigger can modify AI behavior. What else would you like to know?

Hmm for the reimboursement :

Do I have to set a flag/modifier or an other event that triggers exactly X days after the previous one ?

 

[waylit1]

Hmm, I dunno. When in doubt, find a similar thing in somebody elses code and see how they did it. CK2Plus' loan event has such a timer on it. I haven't really had to mess with those yet, so I haven't learned it.

in fact it's easy as hell : letter_event = { id = xxx days = 1825 tooltip = "EVTTOOLTIPxxxx" }

And then I let the choice for ROOT to reimbourse or risk a vengence

For loan repayments the only issue may be what happens if you take a loan and then die. The bank may not end up realising that they should collect the money from your heir. Not sure what the solution for this should be, unless you just accept it and increase the interest rate to compensate.

 

[tompalmer]

CK2+ has a solution for that. The moneylenders visit the heir (see bankruptcy event)

Just have to keep the flags it created
