Modding - Quick questions

[Wokky]

Simpler would be finding where the modifier is applied (probably the relevant CB) and changing the duration.

I thought the same but I can find no mention of launched_prepared_invasion in cb_types (I assume thats where it would be). In fact the only mention of that modifier I could find anywhere was in misc_old_gods_events regarding "Special event for Bagsecg of Jylland to invade Mercia with "the Great Summer Army". I've assumed that that has nothing to do with what im trying to do..

EDIT: Theres another mention of it in 00_event_modifiers:

launched_prepared_invasion = { icon = 1 } # Used in the code - do NOT remove!
launched_subjugation = { icon = 1 }

Whatever that means..

I'm having some trouble with a reformed religious title for a religion with reformed_head_of_religion = yes

Once the faith reforms, the title is not granted to the reformer, but to some random lowborn. Only the title is granted, and so the character is essentially landless. Once one day passes, he loses the title (because he is landless), and the title is destroyed. I can then create the title normally, and hold it normally.

But the title should be going to the reformer, not to some random character and immediately destroyed. Any ideas what it could be?



I can post the code but it's pretty much identical to existing religions and titles. And everything works, it's just on reformation that the title is handed out incorrectly for some reason

Does anyone know if there is a way to return the number of buildings in a settlement as an int to be used in a calculation? For example, here is an excerpt from the pillage_settlement decision:

location = {
    owner = {
            if = {
            limit = {
                character = FROM
            }
            FROM = {
                wealth = 50
            }
        }

But I would like to scale the wealth based on the number of buildings in the settlement, so something like this:

location = {
    owner = {
        if = {
            limit = {
                character = FROM
            }
            FROM = {
                wealth = PREV = { 50 * num_of_buildings }
            }
        }

Something like that, where the num_of_buildings gives back an integer, and we can multiply it by some other value. Not sure if this is something that can even be done, but would appreciate any help if someone knows.

I don't believe there is any script to check the number of buildings in a holding, let alone return its value.

Can the obligations screen be disabled or replaced with a demense laws screen? I'd settle with having the old demense laws under the obligation laws if they weren't bunched together and blacked out. With this in mind, would it be possible to remove the two smaller scrolls from the obligations screen?

Could you maybe add events to check a flag on the b_title (one added for each building) then use a calc_true_if clause for a count of the flags?

They will appear in the obligations screen but in the definition for the law have law_type = realm not law_type = obligations. I had that issue with updating AGOT, I set it to be obligations and they were kinda blacked out but changing that made it work ok for non-conclave issues

Won't the obligations screen appear blank then? Or does that not happen if you place them in the obligations file but label them as realm laws?

If you put it in a law = { clause then they will go in obligations and put the law_groups it will be in the obligations tab, it is for me so try it

Indeed, the hard-coded diplomatic action to launch a prepared invasion is where the modifier is applied, so we can't change it's duration directly. You *could* do as richvh mentioned, and completely replace the hard-coded action with a decision. Or you could have an event with short MTTH, triggered by having that modifier but *not* having some other flag. When the event fires, remove the existing permanent modifier, add the modifier with the duration you want, and add the flag mentioned in the trigger. Sadly, there is no had_character_modifier which would let you test how long a character has had one, because that would make it even easier.

The religion she have 'reformer_head_of_religion = yes', as norse_pagan does.
The title should have 'controls_religion = norse_pagan_reformed' and 'religion = norse_pagan_reformed', as d_norse_pagan_reformed does.

I don't believe there is any script to check the number of buildings in a holding, let alone return its value.

Actually, 'num_of_buildings = N' is a valid trigger, used 10 times in vanilla.

Something like that, where the num_of_buildings gives back an integer, and we can multiply it by some other value. Not sure if this is something that can even be done, but would appreciate any help if someone knows.

Sadly, Paradox's scripting language simply doesn't do that, returning a value that you can then do math on. It's one of the greatest shortcomings of the game.

If you really wanted to go to the effort, you could write a section that would test 'num_of_buildings = N against every reasonable value of N, and set a variable equal to the N that succeeds, multiplied by 50. The problem then is that their scripting won't *take* a variable where it expects a number either, as you would want 'wealth = amount'.

I'm making this event that passes a noble blood trait if the "dominant" parent has it, i.e. usually the father but the mother in a matri-marriage. But it seems like with some children this event does work, and with others it doesn't and nothing gets passed on.
Here's the on_actions file:

on_post_birth = {
    events = {
        NOBLE.01
    }
}

And the event itself:

namespace = NOBLE

character_event = {
    id = NOBLE.01

    hide_window = yes
   
    is_triggered_only = yes

    option = {
        name = EVTOPTA_NOBLE_01
        trigger = {
            OR = {
                father_even_if_dead = {
                    AND = {
                        dynasty = ROOT
                        trait = noble_blood
                    }
                }
                mother_even_if_dead = {
                    AND = {
                        dynasty = ROOT
                        trait = noble_blood
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        add_trait = noble_blood
    }
    option = {
        name = EVTOPTB_NOBLE_01
    }
}

 

[richvh]

Put a trigger in option B, restricting it to the cases where the first option can't trigger.

The religion she have 'reformer_head_of_religion = yes', as norse_pagan does.
The title should have 'controls_religion = norse_pagan_reformed' and 'religion = norse_pagan_reformed', as d_norse_pagan_reformed does.

Thanks friend, I had "reformed_head_of_religion" instead of your "reformer_head_of_religion" . It works now!

 

[Tintiam]

Anyone know how to match alert icons? alerts.gfx and alerts.gui don't tell me much

I have reformable religions but when the reformation is possible the alert icon is all black. I want it to be the same the image the vanilla reformable religions gets.

Thanks. It is possible to remove the launched_prepared_invasion modifier in 00_event_modifiers without any (immediate) ill effects despite what the note says, that allows you to prepare invasions as many times as you want. With that in mind I wonder if it would be simpler to add a new modifier to the viking_invasion (prepared invasion) cb? Once you actually declare war the new modifier would activate preventing you from preparing an invasion again for X amount of years.

 

[elvain]

Did you ever find out what the problem was?

not yet. I've still got number of other issues to do, so I am putting it up for now

I doubt it, considering the CB is fired by the diplomatic action. You'd have started your planning, waited a year, and then suddenly find out you can't wage this war

If you put it in a law = { clause then they will go in obligations and put the law_groups it will be in the obligations tab, it is for me so try it

Could you show me a screencap of this working for you? I can't seem to be able to get it working myself. The laws are appearing for me in the realm laws screen, and the obligations screen is empty.
