i am trying to write my own little mod for ck2. I may advance slowly, but i start to learn how things work thanks to the modding wiki.
However I do not really understand how factors work. I mostly need factors for 'ai_will_do', but i couldn't figure out how different numbes change this.
Let's say there is a targetted_decision to steal money from your liege if you are steward.
I know that 1 = 100% chance every month for each allowed target, so if i write

Code:

       ai_will_do = {
           factor = 1    
[...]

it would mean that every steward will steal at least once (or exactly once?)per month money from his liege .
Now lets change the factor to 0.1, so there is a 10% chance for the ai to steal money from their liege, but the chance will increase if the ai is greedy or hates their liege.

Code:

modifier = {
               factor = 0.5
               FROM = {
                   trait = greedy
               }
           }

Does this change the factor now (so instead of 0.1 the chance is now 0.5), does it add to the base factor (so instead of 0.1 the chance is now 0.6) or does it mulitply with the base factor (so instead of 0.1 the chance would now be 0.05)?

Same question if more than one modifier applies. (so +0.5 from greedy and +0.5 from hate)

And what if i want to lower the chance if the steward has the trait 'just'
Do i have to add a negative factor ? Do i have to add a factor lower than the base factor?

Now I've seen this in way_of_life_decisions.txt for seduction

Code:

       ai_will_do = {
           factor = 1        # 1 = 100% chance every month (for each allowed target!)
           modifier = {
               factor = 0.05
           }
[...]

what is the modifier for?
It doesn't have any requirements, so why not just set the base factor to 0.05? Isn't that just redundant?

Are you saying this code isn't working? When you start after 1163 he's still Jewish?

The quotes shouldn't matter, but you should put sympathy_judaism and hajjaj after his conversion using add_trait (I believe that putting them before the religion line, let alone putting them before a historical instruction to change religion, will simply remove them and they won't properly appear). That shouldn't prevent him from turning Sunni though, so please clarify the exact problem you're having.

Thanks it really doesn't make any sense for him to go on hajj when he is still jewish missed that LOL

Yes, I believe it is currently redundant to do base factors below 1 that way. Perhaps it wasn't at one time, and they never changed the old stuff.

Factors multiply. A factor of 2 doubles the chance, while a factor of .5 halves the chance. If there are multiple valid factors, multiply them all together.

Is there any mod that extends the finishing date? I know theres an endless timeline mod in EU4 but I've don't recall seeing one in CK2. I always feel uncomfortable starting in later start dates as I feel I don't have enough time.

Ceranai · Dec 23, 2016

Can anyone help me add a timer to the following code? at teh moment it is firing twice when I only want it to fire on teh 25th December it also fires 14th January:

Code:

character_event = {
    id = YULE.200#

    hide_window = yes

    religion = pagan

    trigger = {
        controls_religion = yes
        month = 11
    }

    immediate = {

       character_event = { id = YULE.201 days = 20 }
    }
}

character_event = {
    id = YULE.201

    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
        any_playable_ruler = { character_event = { id = YULE.202 days 4 } }
    }
}

narrative_event = {
    id = YULE.202
   desc = YULE.202
   
       is_triggered_only = yes
       only_playable = yes
       immediate {
       set_character_flag = christmascooldown
       }
       option {
           name = YULE.202A
           trigger = {
           only_playable = yes
           }
           add_trait = immortal
       }   
}

guess all you have to do is to alter end_date in definies.txt in *yoursteamlibraryfile*/crusader kings 2/common
there are also various mods on the workshop just search for 'longer game'

Still hoping for an answer to my last question but here is another, how do i add this building in so it only appears via the associated event?

Code:

castle = {
   # toy_factory
   toy_factory = {
   desc = toy_factory_desc
       trigger= { has_character_flag = toy_factory_owner }
       gold_cost = 1
       build_time = 1
       light_infantry = 50

   }
}

Code:

character_event = { #toy factory is built in capital
    id = YULE.203

    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
       add_character_flag = toy_factory_owner
        add_building = toy_factory
    }

}

}

The add_building must be in the scope of the holding you want it to be built in.

Thank you, however it is still not working:
building

Code:

castle = {
   # toy_factory
   toy_factory = {
       desc = toy_factory_desc
       trigger = { always = no }
       gold_cost = 1
       build_time = 1
       light_infantry = 50

   }
}

event

Code:

character_event = { #toy factory is built in capital
    id = YULE.203

    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
       scope = capital_holding
       add_building = toy_factory
    }

}

I gave up trying to hide it while i try to fix the event. what is wrong now? It appears as a building in all teh castles but when I use the event it doesnt build

Two, things:
-I'm not sure, but maybe the trigger = { always = no } is forbidding the code to adding the building eve if you specifically use add_building

-Most importantly, your event code is wrong. It should be:

Code:

character_event = { #toy factory is built in capital
    id = YULE.203

    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
       capital_holding = {
         add_building = toy_factory
       }
    }

}

Ah you are a life saver.

Here is another question for you, how do i work out what teh localisation key for things should be?

That should be showing
+1000 toy soldiers
-5 spouse opinion
+5 city opinion, its code is now

Code:

    # toy_factory
   toy_factory = {
       desc = toy_factory_desc
       trigger = { always = yes }
       gold_cost = 1
       build_time = 1
       toy_soldier = 1000
       spouse_opinion = -5
       city_opinion = 5
       tech_growth_modifier = 1.1

   }
}

I am confused. Is the event where you can enter your child's name when it is born in events or not?
It doesn't fire in my mod, I thought this was because I replaced the events path in my mod file.
But I can't find the event in the vanilla events either.

My mod file:

Code:

replace_path = "history/characters"
replace_path = "history/diplomacy"
replace_path = "history/provinces"
replace_path = "history/titles"
replace_path = "history/wars"
replace_path = "history/technology"
replace_path = "history/eu4_converter"
replace_path = "common/cultures"
replace_path = "common/religions"
replace_path = "common/dynasties"
replace_path = "common/landed_titles"
replace_path = "common/trade_routes"
replace_path = "common/province_setup"
replace_path = "events"
replace_path = "music"
replace_path = "tutorial"

All I am trying to achieve is to have the event fire again, I don't seek to modify it since I think that won't be possible for a couple of reasons. If that is possible however then I would love to hear about it

Nope, sorry, that's hardcoded. On the other hand, I think that there is a command set_name, but you cannot get user imput for that, just a string you decide when scripting the event.

The problem here is not localisation, but rather the modifiers themselves:
-spouse opinion and city_opinion are character modifiers, doesn't work on buildings,
-tech_growth_modifier is a province modifier iirc, so it doesn't work either
for the issue with toy_soldier, the most likely explanation is you havent set that up as a special troop type, or its definition is faulty.

Im pretty sure I set it up properly- in special troops:

Code:

toy_soldier = {
   name = toy_soldier
   morale = 10
   maintenance = 0.01
   phase_skirmish_attack = 0.1
   phase_melee_attack = 0.1
   phase_pursue_attack = 0.1
   phase_skirmish_defense = 0.1
   phase_melee_defense = 0.1
   phase_pursue_defense = 0.1
   base_type = light_infantry
}

and in my localisation file Ive tried to copy the vanilla war elephants definitions:

Code:

toy_soldier;Toy Soldier;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
toy_soldier_offensive;Toy Soldier Offensive;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
toy_soldier_defensive;Toy Soldier Defensive;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
toy_soldier_morale;Toy Soldier Morale;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

No error in the log files.I wasn't thinking adding one province to game would be that hard.How do you do it?Can you explain to me please?

Now that can't be true

AGOT is overwriting events in the mod file and they still have that event firing on childbirth.

Well, the method I used is step by step identical to the wiki. I don't find it hard though, but here I can't see what issue you have.

I feel bad for spamming this thread with questions but need help again, sorry

Can anyone tell me why
A) YULE.202 fires twice
B) YULE.202 doesnt trigger YULE.203 when the option is selected.
Advice in how to fix these problems would be greatly appreciated... here comes the code...

Code:

character_event = {
    id = YULE.200#

    hide_window = yes

    religion = pagan

    trigger = {
        controls_religion = yes
        month = 11
    }

    immediate = {

       character_event = { id = YULE.201 days = 20 }
    }
}

character_event = {
    id = YULE.201

    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
        any_playable_ruler = { character_event = { id = YULE.202 days = 1 } }
    }
}

narrative_event = {
    id = YULE.202
   desc = YULE.202
 
       is_triggered_only = yes
       only_playable = yes
       immediate {
       set_character_flag = christmascooldown
       }
       option {
           name = YULE.202A
           trigger = {
           only_playable = yes
           }
           random_list = { #The possible events that can fire
  10 = {
 #   modifier = {
 #     factor = <factor_1>
 #     #Conditions for factor to apply
 #   }
 #   modifier = {
 #   factor = <factor_2>
 #     #Conditions for factor to apply
 #   }
 #Factory Event Prompt
        ROOT = { character_event = { id = YULE.203 days = 1 } }
       }
   } 
}     
     
character_event = { #toy factory is built in capital
    id = YULE.203
   desc = YULE.203
    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
       capital_holding = {
         add_building = toy_factory
        add_character_flag = toy_factory_enabled
       }
    }
   option {
           name = YULE.203A
           trigger = { always = yes
                   }
           }

}

The idea is that Santa (modded into the history files) spawns the event every christmas for all players, this bit is working (though he then sends it again 14th jan), he then sends out a random event to each player weighted on their karma. this is where the random_list comes in.

Testing YULE.203 by itself it does work.
