Modding - Quick questions

[Kevkev100]

I'm trying to write a targeted decision that allows me to grant vice-royalties to republics. I've been able to tweak existing files in the "governments" and "laws" folder that allow republics to grant vice-royalties, but only to feudal rulers. I think I have all the scopes and conditions down, but I don't know what to put as the effect.

targetted_decisions = {
    
    Grant_Viceroyalty = {   
      filter = sub_realm
      ai_target_filter = sub_realm
      from_potential = {           
            OR = {
                has_law = vice_royalty_2
                has_law = vice_royalty_1
            }                   
     }
      potential = {
        is_vassal_or_below = FROM
      }
      allow = {
        any_demesne_title = {
                can_be_given_away = yes
                higher_tier_than = COUNT
                is_titular = no
                is_landless_type_title = no
      }
      effect = {
        
      }
      revoke_allowed = {
        always = no
      }
      ai_will_do = {
                factor = 0
      }
}

This is my first time trying to write a targeted decision, so if you notice any mistakes I would appreciate if you could point them out, thanks!

How do I localise a minor title "HRH" so that the "real" reflects the parents highest title realm forever:

Dad: Duke of York
Son: HRH Prince Henry of York (This displays correctly while Henry is at his father's court; however, when he moves, his title changes.)
e.g. Henry goes to Kent, now his name is displayed as HRH Prince Henry of Kent.

How do I stop this from happening?

Is it possible to make an Sea Province "Bigger" than it "really" is? My TC divides the map into four sections, with an impassable barrier between all four, and then in the centre there is a 'transition sea' that they have to move through in order to enter one of the other three sections. What I'd like to do is make this sea take several months to a year to actually cross in-game. Is that possible? I was thinking maybe using "local_movement_speed = 0.10", but do sea-provinces count as Provinces for Province Modifiers?

 

[saladinayyub]

Thanks, thats a big help

Did the code work for you?

 

[starwarsfan541]

Did the code work for you?

Yes, I believe its working or at least it was working when i tested it and havent received a bug report on it being non functional

 

[saladinayyub]

The add_alliance part is not working for me i only got the non aggression pact

Actually, as a follow-up: is it possible for the game engine to spawn characters after their death? There's a certain figure alive in the early 7th century that I'm having a hard time trying to tip-toe around....

I don't have the answer for local_movement_speed.
But another idea that is more in line with vanilla would be to use the movement_cost of map/terrain.txt, by creating a specific category of water terrain. I know some mods add new terrain (not water ones though), so this should be possible.

I don't know if that "grant as vice royalty" effect actually exist... The vanilla diplomatic action using it is not scripted but hardcoded, and the feature was restricted to a DLC.

Also I'm not exactly sure what's the difference between vice royalty and succ_appointment succession law, and if something equivalent can be achieved that way.

Thanks for trying anyways! I decided in the end to just take away the opinion malus from having feudal vassals.

I'd like to mod faction restriction. Specifically, I want to make it so that factions for Feudal Elective Succession can be started at Low Crown Authority instead of only at Minimum Crown Authority/Autonomous Vassals. However, I can not find that specific restriction in the "00_factions" file in the "objectives" folder.
I've copied the respective part from the file, in regards to plotter cope and target scope:

Spoiler: Elective Succession

# Institute Succession by Feudal Elective
faction_succ_feudal_elective = {
    type = liege_titles
 
    warning_level = 0.7 # At this level of faction power we give player an alert. Set to 0 for no alerts.
 
    # Plotter scope
    potential = {
        prisoner = no
        is_ruler = yes
        independent = no
        is_landed = yes
        is_adult = yes
        primary_title = { holy_order = no }

                primary_title = {
                    has_law = war_voting_power_1
                    has_law = law_voting_power_1

                            character = PREVPREV
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
      
            # The Crown Law title allows vassal infighting
            crownlaw_title = {

            AND = {

        }
  
        holder_scope = {
            NOT = {
                any_war = {
                    war_title = ROOT
                    using_cb = change_feudal_elective_succession_law
                }
            }
      
            NOT = {
                reverse_has_opinion_modifier = {
                    who = FROM
                    modifier = opinion_coerced_into_leaving_faction
                }
            }
        }
  
    }

Now I just need someone to tell me where the restriction is that makes it so you can only start an elective succession faction at the lowest crown authority level. I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything helpful. Thank you very much to anyone who can spare the time and help.

How can I display a vsriable in a trait description?

From staring at the wiki, I'd say [Root.test_var.GetName]?
But there is a big question mark there, I am not sure if this would work.
Is something this dynamic even possible, I mean, can the description change with the variable?
Maybe someone more experienced can answer that. If so, I would be pretty intrigued to know as well, because that is rather a good idea ^^

Indeed localization commands are not always processed everywhere. For instance support in nicknames and character modifier descriptions was added in patch 2.3. I don't think it's the case for trait descriptions.

Wasteland provinces can be given province modifiers -probably sea provinces too

It doesn't work, (it shows nothing, as opposed to the literal command string). However, it seems to work if instead of Root I use a global event target, (which is weird).

 

[Babarigo]

Hello, as you know when you are the guardian or the educator of a child you get events to intervene and make a childhood trait like indolent becoming gregarious instead of slothful. In the game it's not 100% sure it will work (it's 50% iirc) and I would like it to be 100%, basically I want that the child always choose the trait chosen by the educator, at least for the human player, thank you.

 

[IratePirate-]

Hello. Is there a condition for assessing whether a character is a commander in the same army as ROOT? I'm making an event where one commander in a victorious battle is envious of the leader, but i'm drawing a blank at the minute.

 

[Aerkhanite]

This decision is not showing up if I add "NOT = { is_title_active = k_goths }" under potential.
Basically, it needs to check if that title is already in use.

decisions = {
declare_gothic_homeland = {
is_high_prio = yes

potential = {
culture = old_gothic
real_tier = DUKE
}

allow = {
independent = yes
is_adult = yes
war = no
has_regent = no
wealth = 500
prestige = 1500
culture = old_gothic
}

effect = {
wealth = -500
prestige = -1500
activate_title = { title = k_goths status = yes }
k_goths = { gain_title = ROOT }
capital_scope = { culture = old_gothic }
#any_demesne_province = { add_province_modifier = { name = gothic_migrate_here duration = 365 } }
}

ai_will_do = {
factor = 1
}
}
}

Can anyone help?
Another question that seems simple but I could find the condition/scope for, how do I check that ROOT has X amount of duchies?
Also, is it possible to have a +% chance to convert a province's culture by modifier? It's what I want the gothic_migrate_here to be.

 

[Zaltys]

Another question that seems simple but I could find the condition/scope for, how do I check that ROOT has X amount of duchies?

Use num_of_duke_titles.

 

[Thezezeal]

Is there a way to find out what is causing "Assert failed for 'spawn_unit': !"Invalid unit owner""?

 

[Aerkhanite]

Use num_of_duke_titles.

Thanks for that.
How the hell did I miss that?
Anyway, any help for the other two problems?
