What? that still doesn't make any sense, how do you mean?
So for example if there are 5 modifiers with factors = 2.0, 10/5=2?
If there are 5 modifiers with a factor of 2, and you meet all the requirements, the MTTH will be multiplied by 2^5, or 32.
So, lets say the base mean time to happen on an event is 1 year, that means that there's a 50% chance that it will occur within a year.
If they meet all of those modifiers, there's now a 50% chance that it will occur within 32 years, or roughly a 1.5% chance per year. (50% / 32)
So, lets say the base mean time to happen on an event is 1 year, that means that there's a 50% chance that it will occur within a year.
If they meet all of those modifiers, there's now a 50% chance that it will occur within 32 years, or roughly a 1.5% chance per year. (50% / 32)
Let's say that the event has a base MTTH of a year. 12 months; that means that it has an noncumulative 1 out of 12 chance of happening every month.
If all of the modifiers are true, then it becomes 12*2*2*2*2*2 = 384. The chance of the event firing is 1/384 each month. Could still trigger during the first month (like all events), but probably won't. The approximate probability of it happening during the first year is 3.1%. Which isn't cumulative; there's 63.2% probability that it'll trigger at least once within 32 years. Formula: 1-(1-1/384)^384.
Now, if it were other way around and there's five 0.5 modifiers... 12*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.375. That's 1 out of 0.375 every month. Which means that it'd always be guaranteed to trigger, every time that the events are processed.

I have a question regarding hiding traits with "is_visible."
Can I prevent opinion score changes from occurring with "is_visible", or is the hiding of traits feature just cosmetic and for the player? I'm trying to keep characters from seeing a trait I have on my character to keep them from changing their opinion of that trait, and nothing I do is working.
It's a long story, but using "same_religion_opinion = x" has the issue of working for your fake religion, whereas if I want it to work for my secret religion, I guess I'm screwed. There needs to be a new trait code, something like secret_religion_opinion = x, because right now there's apparently nothing regarding secret religions involving trait codes.

As the title says, I have a mod that is CTD'ing.
I cannot seem to crack this bug... can someone check what I am doing wrong?

is_visible just prevents the trait from showing and, as of the last major patch, makes any opinion modifiers from it list as "Unknown Sources"
Since the next patch is going to overhaul how secret religions work, I'd check those patch notes and see if any of those upcoming changes will do what you want.
Is there a good explanation on how overwriting works?
Lets say I want to modify an existing event, how can I do that without coping the entire events file over to my mod?

The Modding Wiki does a good job of explaining most of it. Under "Game Structure", the column "Loading Behaviour" attempts to explain the expected merging/overwriting of particular files and folders.
However, as far as I know, the only way to edit a particular events, is to do it wholly. Or, you can create a new event, in your mod folder (by copying and pasting that particular event) but give it a different name (and possibly different permissions to your specific needs). This way you need a file with only one event and can specify its triggers (like ai = no, etc) without affecting the old event. However you don't want both events firing if its a very specifc set of triggers, so maybe more details would make it easier to fully answer your question.
So to fix a save file with many blank dynasties would killing all those with blank dynasties/ removing their dynasties from save files solve the problem of new blanks appearing?
Can someone help me fix this code? A part of the code is supposed to trigger an is_triggered_only event but it never triggers in game. Anyone knows what could be wrong? I mean, even when 3 years have passed or much more the second event never triggers in game.
Code:
character_event = {
id = CUSTOM.1025
desc = EVTDESC_CUSTOM.1025
picture = GFX_evt_constructing_pyramid
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = EVTOPTA_CUSTOM.1025a
trigger = {
has_character_flag = predecessor_modest_pyramid
}
hidden_tooltip = {
character_event = { id = CUSTOM.1026 years = 3 }
}
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTA_CUSTOM.1025a
trigger = {
has_character_flag = predecessor_large_pyramid
}
hidden_tooltip = {
character_event = { id = CUSTOM.1027 years = 6 }
}
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTA_CUSTOM.1025a
trigger = {
has_character_flag = predecessor_giant_pyramid
}
hidden_tooltip = {
character_event = { id = CUSTOM.1028 years = 9 }
}
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTA_CUSTOM.1025b
prestige = -100
scaled_wealth = { value = 1.5 }
}
}
# Predecessor's modest pyramid is completed
character_event = {
id = CUSTOM.1026
title = CUSTOM.1026.title
desc = DESCCUSTOM.1026
picture = GFX_evt_pyramid
is_triggered_only = yes
option = {
name = EVTOPTION1026
prestige = 500
piety = 250
add_character_modifier = {
name = the_pharaoh_is_great
duration = 1825
}
if = {
limit = { ai = no }
chronicle = {
entry = CHRONICLE_ANCESTOR_MODEST_PYRAMID
picture = GFX_evt_pyramid
}
}
}
}I'm assuming 1025 is triggered by a decision, so the only thing I can think of is making sure that whatever gives your character the flag "predecessor_modest_pyramid" is actually giving that flag. Otherwise, I don't think I can be much help, as your code looks fine to me. I don't ever use "titles" for character events (just narrative events), but I doubt that is having an effect.
Just to note, I did notice your DESC keys are different. Which won't effect the firing of the event, but may be confusing down the line.
Edit: Looking at it closer and comparing, this is how one of my options is set up...
Code:
option = {
name = EVTOPTB_om_04
piety = 50
trigger = {
NOT = { trait = blood_liebt }
NOT = { trait = omoiakin }
}
hidden_tooltip = {
if = {
limit = {
has_character_flag = pilgrimage_to_jerusalem
}
narrative_event = { id = om.08 days = 7 }
}
}
}

The first event triggers succesfully, but the second one doesn't no matter what I try, despite that it should, anyone knows more of this?
When manually firing 1026, do you get an error code in the console?
I believe it is because you are using years and not days. Years/Months/Days is for MTTH. Whereas the character_flag condition requires days. Try days = 1095
That doesn't work either. Annoyingly enough if I set the it to like days = 30 the even triggers normally. But if I set to days = 1000 nothing ever happens. However, setting the time to 30 days is not an option since a pyramid takes many years to built. Anyone knows if this is supposed to happen?
I also need the event to trigger from another character because otherwise the event description can't use their name and uses generic description that don't read very well.

I've never gone beyond 150 days before, so I don't know if there is a limit for waiting on an event.
Worst case scenario though (assuming there is a limit), you could set a yearly on_action event that checks if a flag was "had" in the previous year, then set a new flag that indicates what year of contruction you're in (clearing year1 flag on year2 and setting year2 etc...), and if the right year of construction aligns with the right type of pyramid (ie. year3 & modest), then fire the appropriate event (ie. 1026). The "had" version of character flags works up to 2 years for sure, because I have done it (but should work well further).
Beyond that, I think this surpasses my abilities. Hopefully, someone else will know.

Actually I have no idea what you just said, I'm familiar with on_actions event but not with the other thing.
I mean that the title of the event should be: The Pyramid of [FromFrom.GetFirstName], which could be added to other event by saving an event target. But there is no possible way of defining someone's predecessor's relation to them in the localisation files, which is very annoying. The event text should say something like Your (predecessor's relation) (predecessor's name)'s pyramid was not finished in time. And something more... I wouldn't like the text to say "Your ancestor" or "something generic" because that sounds very weird if your predecessor was your sibling, or parent.
Anyone knows more about how I could solve my problem, as I'd like to publish a mod this week but this problem is very annoying.

Is it possible to add religion or culture specific insults? Like Muslims say "May Allah destroy your house". Would it be possible to have Zoroastrian characters say "May Ahura Mazda's light elude you." for example.
