http://prntscr.com/7nr7fm Once again with the blank messages and an over abundance of them....
Localisation:

Make sure you're localisation file is saved in .csv and encoded in ANSI.

Okay, I messed up somewhere.
http://prntscr.com/7nr48d
<ignore stupid name of mod, just temporary as it has several life and death traits>
Where did I go wrong with this? Also I dont know how to do the boxes for code as done above.

namespace = Trait1
character_event = {
id = Lifemods.001 }
desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
is_triggered_only = yes
trigger = {
piety = -200}
effect = {
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}
option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"}

* edit to say I noticed I'm missing a }

Oh wait I didn't notice. Your trigger means that any time the game sees that the character has -200 piety, it'll trigger the event. That means it'll keep happening until they gain piety. I think it should be like this:

namespace = Trait1
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001 }
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
piety = -200
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}
effect = {
trait = Anti_Christ
}
option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"}

That'll trigger the event and give the character the trait Anti-Christ if they have -200 piety and don't have it already.

You have an extra } after the event ID line (and are missing one after the end of your option, which is doing nothing.) You don't use effect in events (and wouldn't put a condition in it even if it was allowed.) Your namespace doesn't match the namespace used in your event ID. It's fine to use is_triggered_only with trigger, just be aware that even if the calling event/decision/on_action fires the event, it will abort if the trigger conditions aren't met.
Code tags are done like this: {code}Insert code here{/code} except with [ and ] instead of { and }.

@HREmperor: I think you're forgetting that piety = -200 means piety is AT LEAST -200.

 

[HREmperor]

Oh yeah. I was thinking of decisions when I put the effect there. The effects should go under the option.

namespace = Lifemods

    id = Lifemods.001
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
piety = -200
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}
effect = {

}
option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"} }

So would this be right?

namespace = Lifemods
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
piety = -200
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}
effect = {
trait = Anti_Christ
}
option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"} }

Use NOT = { piety = -200 }, or else it will go off when the character has more than -200 piety.

 

[richvh]

Close, but there shouldn't be an effect section, and the trait = Anti_Christ goes in the option section. Also, do you really want saints to get the Anti_Christ trait? I think you want your trigger to be NOT = { piety = -200 } (piety is less than -200); as it is anyone with piety of -200 or above will get the trait.

If this event isn't being called from anywhere and you want it to fire automatically, you should have a mean_time_to_happen section.

 

[stedavies112]

Use NOT = { piety = -200 }, or else it will go off when the character has more than -200 piety.

Had 8 piety, still activated.

If there's no MTTH, wouldn't it fire instantly?

If there's no MTTH, wouldn't it fire instantly?

It does, I get about 100 blank dialogue boxes.

namespace = Lifemods
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001 
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
NOT = {piety = -200}
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
mean_time_to_happen = {
    months = 1}
{trait = Anti_Christ}
option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"} }

Is this using the meant to happen time correctly?

 

[DC123456789]

No, it's supposed to be in it's own section (outside of the trigger).

 

[HREmperor]

I think it should look like this:

namespace = Lifemods
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
NOT = {piety = -200}
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}

mean_time_to_happen = {
  months = 1
}

option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"} }
add_trait = Anti_Christ
}
}

 

[stedavies112]

I think it should look like this:

namespace = Lifemods
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
trigger = {
NOT = {piety = -200}
NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
}

mean_time_to_happen = {
  months = 1
}

option = {
name = "LFM.001.A"} }
add_trait = Anti_Christ
}
}

I applied your code but I'm still getting the same bug. Blank boxes and many of them all when having positive piety.

 

[richvh]

Still not right.

namespace = Lifemods
character_event = {
    id = Lifemods.001
    desc = "LFM.001.DESC"
    trigger = {
        NOT = {piety = -200}
        NOT = {trait = Anti_Christ}
    }

    mean_time_to_happen = {
      months = 1
    }

    option = {
        name = "LFM.001.A"
        add_trait = Anti_Christ
    }
}

You also need localization for Anti_Christ and Anti_Christ_desc.

 

[HREmperor]

Oh, does Anti_Christ and actually exist as a trait? Did you make a trait file with them in it?

 

[stedavies112]

Oh, do Anti_Christ and Anti_Christ_desc actually exist as traits? Did you make a trait file with them in it?

The trait and image file do but the desc file does not. What do I do for the desc file

 

[HREmperor]

The trait and image file do but the desc file does not. What do I do for the desc file

That just needs to exist in localisation. It automatically becomes the description of the trait. I made a mistake in mentioning it in that post.

 

[richvh]

Anti_Christ is the trait, you need localizations for traits and the descriptions of traits. You put these in your .csv file in localisation/.
Something like:

Anti_Christ;Anti-Christ;;;;;;;;;;;;x
Anti_Christ_desc;This person is believed to be the Anti-Christ incarnate.;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

 

[stedavies112]

So in the localisation it'd just be Anti_Christ_desc.Description of the trait?

 

[stedavies112]

Anti_Christ is the trait, you need localizations for traits and the descriptions of traits. You put these in your .csv file in localisation/.
Something like:

Anti_Christ;Anti-Christ;;;;;;;;;;;;x
Anti_Christ_desc;This person is believed to be the Anti-Christ incarnate.;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
