We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
The latter is doable, it's controlled by relation_with_character_is_incestuous_in_faith_trigger in scripted_triggers/00_religious_triggers.txt. You could add your own new consanguinity doctrine and then modify that trigger to check for it, or change the behaviour of one of the existing doctrines, or whatever else.
For the former, I don't think it's possible. You can completely control who is allowed to marry whom in script, but you have very very limited control over how the AI actually chooses from among those allowed options.

Not really. You have a ton of control over whom the AI marries. Actually, pretty much every bit of control. In the
ai_will_do part of the interaction you'd just need to weight some candidates extremely heavily. You could also do it through ai_potential and/or make a special 'marry_divine_blood_interaction' that will (nearly) always trigger if the AI can marry divine blood.

AI marriage proposal logic is hardcoded and does not use the normal character interaction logic. Indeed the vanilla interaction doesn't even have an ai_will_do. Instead there are various SPOUSE_SCORE defines which control the actual weights it uses, but these mostly only relate to alliances and prestige gain. There isn't one for divine marriage related things.
If you want the AI to always marry incestuously, your other workarounds would work, but if you just want them to weight it a bit higher there really isn't a way to do that right now.
It doesn't need to be always. Just alter the
ai_will_do and/or the frequency until you get a desired result.

}This leaves me scratching my head and the only thing I can think of is that if a hook is referenced in the
ai_will_do block of any interaction it will force the AI to use that hook if the modifier is 1 or if they couldn't otherwise perform the interaction and the modifier is -1 as the comments say. I'm guessing it's some weird hack to control when the AI uses hooks...but it's really confusing because it looks totally illogical. Anyone know for sure?
AI marriage acceptance is modifiable though, in the
marriage_ai_accept_modifier key in common\scripted_modifiers\00_marriage_scripted_modifiers.txt so you can weight it from the otherside, including with hard -1000 nerfs of marriages you don't want to happen.The loophole is characters marrying their own unlanded courtiers, which don't go through the
marriage_ai_accept_modifier logic.- 1
Hi all, when creating a new character, how can you make him look the way you want him to?
Im trying to create a new terrain type similar to jungle but with higher attrition. Anyone know of a way to edit the attrition parameters of the terrain types?
The DNA for characters is stored in common>DNA. You can design the character in the in-game portrait window accessed by pressing the ` key while in debug mode and then copy the dna data you need. The DNA name then has to be referenced in history>characters.
Paradox has some good documentation for doing this.

Keep in mind, character DNA can only be used for historical characters, i.e., characters that exist at the beginning of the game. If you want to apply styles to characters created through script, using the
create_character function, you need to use flags and portrait modifiers to get the job done, with a lot of caveats. I've written about that previously here:—The only way I've found, and it's exceptionally hacky, is to create portrait modifiers ingfx\portraits\portrait_modifiersand then apply them with a character flag. The first part of the wiki gives some example code on how to do this.
There are a lot of problems with this, though. For one, usingreplaceto set genes in portrait modifiers requires setting values between 0 and 1 specified to at most 2 decimal places, whereas the DNA values output by the portrait editor have values in the 0–255 range, so you need to do the maths yourself for every single gene you want to replace. Once you do, though, it seems to work, but there's yet another catch: character flags get unset on death, which resets the appearance to the default.
All in all, it's just an awful lot of work when it seems to mecreate_charactershould just be able to take adnastring the same way historical characters do. Why those functions don't use the same format, I cannot fathom.
EDIT:
So I've found a workaround to preserve appearance after death, if that's important for you. Rather than setting a character flag that's cleared on death, you can set a global variable with the character whose appearance you want to modify as its value, then check for the variable in the portrait modifiers:—
Code:# after create_character, with saved scope custom_character_001 set_global_variable = { name = custom_character_001 value = scope:custom_character_001 } # in your portrait modifier weight = { base = 0 modifier = { add = 200 AND = { exists = global_var:custom_character_001 global_var:custom_character_001 = { this = root } } } }
Since I'm only doing a few characters where this matters, this isn't a big deal, but it does run the risk of becoming a resource drain if you needed to do a lot of them. But then, so too the portrait modifiers in the first place, I imagine, so… \/
Keep in mind, as the numeric suffix attests, since the value gets overridden if you reset the global variable, each custom character needs his own global variable set to track him. You may be able to fix this with a global list instead, but I haven't tested it, so I'm unsure if dead characters are pruned from those.

Anyone knows if it's possible if a county can be associated to no De jure Kingdoms or Empire or would it break something in the game ?
I want to delete all the de jure empires except the ones that actually existed (califate, ERE, HRE) and some of the weird kingdoms as well.
I know CK2 1.0 didn't have so many de jure empires and they added them later, but i wonder if it's possible in CK3 as well ?

I'd like to flag an interaction as having occurred to trigger the normal cooldown without actually firing it. I see that
remove_interaction_cooldown is a thing, but is there any way to do the opposite? Or do I just have to hack it with character flags?
I am trying to use a numeric variable as a trigger to insert alternative wording in the description of an event. Can someone please glance at this and tell me if this is a valid way of writing the trigger?
Code:
type = character_event
title = TOMSbday.1015.t
desc = {
desc = TOMSbday.1015.opening
first_valid = {
triggered_desc = {
trigger = { local_var:counter >= 3 }
desc = TOMSbday.1015.mid1
}
desc = TOMSbday.1015.mid2
}
desc = TOMSbday.1015.end
}I'm having a couple problems with localization:—
- Does anyone know if there's a way to include apostrophes inside a
Concept()localization function?
Code:"[Concept( 'some_game_concept', 'Others' opinions' )|E]"
I figured maybe it could be escaped with a backslash, but no luck. Using a curly apostrophe (’ rather than ') sort of works, but it noticeably differs in appearance from the plain apostrophe used by other text (such asGetFirstNamePossessive).
- Is there an equivalent to CK2's
GetBoyGirlfunction? It seems a really odd thing to suddenly drop support for…
I guess they removed the hardcoded one because it's easy to implement with customizable localization, which they did. So you just use
Custom('GirlBoy') I think.- 1
Question is there a way to make the various baron of the holdings have the culture and/or religion of the county and not whoever holds the county?
I don't have Maya. Is there any tool or plugin for 3ds Max to import/export models?
How is it possible that my character has a different appearance in an event window, from his appearance in the character window ( left bottom corner of the screen)
In the event window he has a beard in the character window not. What files drive the differences in appearance?
