Rather than "found", scopes are "made". Anyways, I haven't checked in detail but it seems you would only need to change scope:recipient = { is_adult = yes } for something like scope:recipient = { age > 13 }. Like this:

    is_shown = {
        scope:actor = { has_perk = befriend_perk } # Unlocked by the Befriend Perk
       
        NOT = { scope:actor = scope:recipient }
        scope:recipient = { age > 13 }
        scope:actor = { is_adult = yes }
    }

As mentioned, I didn't thoroughly checked after seeing this, it's too late for me and I gotta go to bed. Try it out and if it doesn't work I'll promise to look again tomorrow, this time in detail.

Yeah, found it while savaging through various parts of the folder. Now my next challenge to tackle is if else settings. For example if the character in prison is a family member, I want to be able to run an abduction scheme on them.


Is it possible to trigger if else conditionin scope:target block? Like if imprisoned target is family, then we'll allow abduction scheme, if not, we just do what we normally do.
What would be a correct way to create and update a new variable?

Anybody knows the dimensions of the smallest possible map you can make and have it load and work in CK3?

My event doesn't seem to be able to use the following localisation:

[capital.GetNameNoTierNoTooltip]

Do I need to set the scope of the capital in the event to be able to use it? I rather expected it to automatically select the capital of root by default. Obviously not.

I've always saved the location as a scope in the event, which I picked up from several vanilla events. Doing a quick search now, though, it looks like you might be able to do something like [ROOT.GetCapitalLocation.GetNameNoTierNoTooltip]? No promises, though.

Thanks Anyasia. I ended up doing the normal scope save. Works fine.

As a new thought, I am pondering whether it is possible to have gender specific opinion modifiers. I am considering making a decision which will please the realm's women and irritate the men. Any thoughts on how best to go about this?

 

[YTnuBF]

You could create or use two different opinion modifiers at \\Crusader Kings III\game\common\opinion_modifiers\
and apply them based on whatever triggers you'd like.

Like:

    the_target_character_scope_of_your_choosing = {
        if = {
            limit = {
                is_female = yes
            }
            add_opinion = {
                target = root
                modifier = made_up_positive_opinion
            }
        }
        else = {
            add_opinion = {
                target = root
                modifier = made_up_negative_opinion
            }
        }
    }

For examples check \\Crusader Kings III\game\common\opinion_modifiers\00_childhood_opinions.txt
to see how you can make an opinion modifier decay or just last a set number of time without changing.

The _opinions.info file in the same folder has additional information. Can be opened with Notepad.

Thanks YTnuBF. I suddenly realised how dense I was being. I can of course name both traits the same within the localisation, so it outwardly appears to affect each sex differently.

I was gonna reply similar to YTnuBF, which is probably the easiest way to do it, as I don't think you can create gender specific opinion moddifiers... but then I remembered about attraction opinion. Now of course those are sex specific, not gender, but if you are adamant about having one single opinion modifier affecting both men and women... it may be worth to take a look at that.
Many traits and modifiers use attraction_opinion, which in essence is one single modifier affecting all characters differently, depending on their sexual inclinations. If you can replace it being affected by sexual preference to just gender, you may be able to actually do it all with just one modifier.

 

[Thomas_Oak]

Thanks Aregodas, I hadn't though of using that. But I think I shall stick with the "two traits same name" method, otherwise homosexual women would be annoyed by being given permission to use the temple.

Hahahaha. I meant, use the basis of attraction_opinion to create your own thing, not to actually change what attraction_opinion itself does. That'd be a bit... gamebreaking.
Anyways, were I you I'd go for the same choice. Much simpler.

Would anyone be kind enough to script me a basic event template to spawn an adventurer?

I'd like to add scripted events to spawn a handful of key historical figures, such as Rollo in 867 and Ibn Tumart in 1066. The idea is they'd appear with a news event firing for landed characters in their geographical area, and they'd invade a particular title (e.g. d_normandy) with a host that spawns alongside them. If they're defeated or killed then that's the end of it, but if they succeed they'd take the title.

I'm new to scripting CK3 events; I've only made slight edits to a few existing ones, and so I've no idea how to generate specific characters (with retinues) by event. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as I feel that if I had a working template to go with then I could probably go from there.

 

[Thomas_Oak]

The spawning of Gengis Khan would be a perfect template for this.

 

[Hyomoto]

I wasn't sure how to word this for a search, but what's up with the mods? Every mod I looked at either had an incomplete name, or no description. One just read, "ok" and another "dfg", but usually it was just "a". Is there some reason for this?

When using on-actions we can set a date at which we want our events to fire using the "trigger_on_next_date" line. I am wondering if there is any way to get something like this to work from an event option block. I would like the next event in a chain to fire on the winter solstice. Using the "trigger_on_next_date" line causes the next event to trigger immediately.

edit: All solved. Had a sudden realisation. Sure enough the game uses the back-to-front American date. "trigger_on_next_date" works perfectly with 12.21 instead

Wait, wait, you can do what? I've never encountered that parameter before; can you give me an example of its use?

It is very simple indeed.

    option = {
        name = aesir_statues.0200.a
        trigger_event = {
            id = aesir_statues.0210
            trigger_on_next_date = 12.20
        }
    }

There is a vanilla use in:
events\yearly_events\yearly_events_persia.txt line 30

Ah, very cool, thanks!

Also, incidentally, the reason the month comes first likely isn't an Americanism (Paradox being based in little-endian-friendly Sweden) so much as a programming norm; where you specify a year, you also put the year first, as in 1066.09.15, so that dates can be sorted properly in plaintext (e.g., so 1 December doesn't get sorted before 30 November, because 1 is less than 3).

Does anyone know how to change the name of council positions based on religion? I want the Chancellor to be called Adjudicator, and the Spymaster to be called Vanguard, but it's not as simple as CK2 by changing the localization. The vanilla localization files under council_|_english read councillor_chancellor:0 "Chancellor" so I made my own council file with councillor_chancellor_mandalorian_religion:0 "Adjudicator" and also councillor_mandalorian_religion_chancellor but nothing changes. I could add the Court Chaplin method for every council position, but that is a real pain as you need to create triggered_desc.

name = {
        first_valid = {
            triggered_desc = {
                trigger = {
