Modding - Quick questions

[Darkgamma]

"major=yes" pauses the game, AFAIK.

 

[unknownenlord]

You're trying to grant the title to the owner of e_hre, right?
Try something like
e_hre = {
owner = {
k_germany = {
gain_title = PREV }}}

gain_title targets a character, while PREV in your last attempt was a title scope. No guarantees this'll work though.

correct and this does work thanks for your help it's been annoying me for a while the final code is

e_hre = {			
		owner = {
		k_germany = {
		gain_title = PREV }}
		destroy_landed_title = THIS	
			}

for anyone else wanting to use it . thanks for your help

@burny26:

You'd need to use any_courtier (however, to narrow that down to a *specific* courtier, you need to have a random_courtier in the options section, I believe) (more experienced modders can correct me if I'm wrong).

Anyhow, an example of a trigger:

	trigger = {
		any_courtier = {
			OR = {
				trait = awesome
				trait = has_three_eyes
			}
		}
	}

So in this case, the event will be triggered if there's a courtier that has the awesome or has three eyes trait.


As for major = yes, I believe it would fire off for everyone in the CKII world (I dunno, that's just my guess though).

Ok thx gents

@burny26: You probably already know this, but I would suggest looking at a vanilla event that has any_courier and random_courtier (such as some of the guardian events where you can praise the child at court and piss people off), in order to make sure how it works - this is something that still confuses me, and I think I'd be worse f I didn't look at the vanilla events.

Well im new to coding ,so any help/advice is welcome!

Yes, it's possible to create new graphical culture groups, though if you notice PI has already defined quite a number of graphical culture groups (such as englishgfx, ugricgfx, etc.) that are, for all intents and purposes, unused (although technically they are used in the cultures text file, since they don't have any defined graphics these cultures just defer to northern European, occitanian, muslim, etc.)




I think what you can do is go to cb_types, find the corresponding CB type (I don't know what it is caused), and code in NOT = { has_landed_title = e_hre } in the can_use section for ROOT.

Thanks mate, not sure if it'll do the trick, but it will for something else I had in mind

I'll take a look at it and see if I can find the proper CB

Also, the holy war CB is the one named "religious", correct?

 

[unmerged(589171)]

I want to create a Casus Beli that allows Pagan rulers to declare War against any Pagan character with less Prestige. For the most part, it works - the part that doesn't work is the part that compares the character's Prestige to the target's. Here it is, with the not working part highlighted:

prestige = {
	name = CB_NAME_PRESTIGE
	war_name = WAR_NAME_PRESTIGE
	sprite = 16
	truce_days = 1825
	hostile_against_others = yes
	is_permanent = yes
	check_all_titles = yes # if permanent, setting this to true will check against all of someones titles, including vassal held titles
	press_claim = yes
	can_ask_to_join_war = yes


	can_use_title = {
	 	NOT = { tier = count }
		OR = {
			FROM = { has_landed_title = PREV }
			holder_scope = { is_liege_or_above = FROM }
		}

		NOT = {
			OR = {
				ROOT = { has_landed_title = PREV }
				holder_scope = { is_liege_or_above = ROOT }
			}
		}
[COLOR="#00FF00"]		ROOT = { 
			religion_group = pagan_group
			{ prestige = FROM }
		}[/COLOR]
		FROM = {
			religion_group = pagan_group

		}
	}

	is_valid_title = {
		OR = {
			FROM = { has_landed_title = PREV }
			holder_scope = { is_liege_or_above = FROM }
		}
	}

	on_success_title = {
		usurp_title_plus_barony_if_unlanded = ROOT
		
		any_attacker = {
			limit = { character = ROOT }
			participation_scaled_prestige = 120
		}
		any_attacker = {
			limit = { NOT = { character = ROOT } }
			hidden_tooltip = { participation_scaled_prestige = 100 }
		}
		
		FROM = {
			prestige = -100
		}
	}

	on_fail_title = {
		ROOT = {
			prestige = -150
		}
		any_defender = {
			limit = { character = FROM }
			participation_scaled_prestige = 120
		}
		any_defender = {
			limit = { NOT = { character = FROM } }
			hidden_tooltip = { participation_scaled_prestige = 100 }
		}
	}

	on_reverse_demand = {
		ROOT = {
			prestige = -200
			transfer_scaled_wealth = {
				to = FROM
				value = 4.0
			}
		}
		any_defender = {
			limit = { character = FROM }
			participation_scaled_prestige = 150
		}
		any_defender = {
			limit = { NOT = { character = FROM } }
			hidden_tooltip = { participation_scaled_prestige = 150 }
		}
	}

	on_add = {
		ROOT = { prestige = -50 }

	attacker_ai_victory_worth = {
		factor = -1 # always accept
	}
	
	attacker_ai_defeat_worth = {
		factor = 100
	}

	defender_ai_victory_worth = {
		factor = -1 # always accept
	}
	
	defender_ai_defeat_worth = {
		factor = 100
	}
}

 

[ash001]

True, I'm pretty certain

ROOT = { 
			religion_group = pagan_group
			{ prestige = FROM }
		}

doesn't work like that. You would have to provide numbers, like...

ROOT = {
			prestige = 100 
}
                        FROM = {
                        NOT = { prestige = 100 }
                        }
		}

On another matter, a silly question, something I haven't noticed yet:
some traits are opposite each other, can they still end up with the same character through events?

 

[unmerged(589171)]

ash001: how sure are you? The reason I tried that is because that's more or less how it's done in the event where one of your vassals/courtiers wishes to be Marshal. Here's the code with the pertinent piece highlighted again. Having to use specific numbers is something I'd like to avoid if possible.

### MARSHAL ###
character_event = {
	id = 73200
	desc = "EVTDESC73200"	#I want to be marshal, I am better...
	picture = GFX_evt_spymaster
	
	only_men = yes
	min_age = 16
	capable_only = yes
	prisoner = no
	
	trigger = {
		is_ruler = no
		is_councillor = no
		independent = no
		NOT = { liege = { has_character_flag = asked_marshal_petition } }
		NOT = { has_character_flag = asked_for_job }
		[COLOR="#00FF00"]liege = {
			job_marshal = {
				same_liege = ROOT
				NOT = { martial = ROOT }
				NOT = { has_minor_title = title_regent }
			}
		}[/COLOR]
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 6
		modifier = {
			factor = 0.25
			trait = ambitious
		}
	}
	
	immediate = {
		set_character_flag = asked_for_job
		liege = {  set_character_flag = asked_marshal_petition }
	}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA73200" 
		liege = { letter_event = { id = 73201 tooltip = EVTTOOLTIP73201 } }
	}
}

To answer your question, a trait will overwrite any opposite trait when it's added to a character.

Yes, I see what you mean.
But I think it's specific to skills like martial, intrigue, stewardship, and so on.
I don't think treasury, prestige, traits or piety apply the same rule - at least I haven't seen this anywhere...
...and since the code you used didn't work...

...but, of course, I could be wrong and someone else might enlighten us here.

EDIT - in fact, I'll run a test later on to see how this works... A condition or trigger like this could definitely come in handy...

Thanks! I did the same - pray you have better luck than I did. I replaced the word 'prestige' with 'martial'. Unfortunately, it seems you were right as everything then worked appropriately - the Casus Beli was only valid against characters I had greater martial than. It does seem that the prestige function works completely differently. How disappointing. If anybody knows a workaround, please share.

 

[ash001]

I know this is not a great solution...
but if you were to compare the prestige of another realm by increments of 50 prestige (like this: if realm A > 50, realm B < 50; if realm A > 100, realm B < 100; if realm A > 150, realm B < 150; if realm A > 200, realm B < 200 and so on) you'd have a list of twenty conditions (!) to reach prestige of 1000... but, yeah, it should work.
Not saying it's pretty... cos it ain't.
But, apart from the copy and paste, it's fairly straightforward.

Hmm... some of the summer fair and hunting events might be worth looking at. HEre's an example of one - the first event from the summer_fair_events.txt (it uses any_vasal and random_vassal, but it works the same way as with any_courtier and random_courtier) (also I've simplified the event and deleted parts to save space):

#Dancing Monkey
character_event = {
	id = 74000
	desc = "EVTDESC74000"
	picture = GFX_evt_jugglers
	
	min_age = 20
	capable_only = yes
	prisoner = no
	only_rulers = yes
	
	trigger = {
		has_character_modifier = holding_summer_fair
		any_vassal = {
			OR = {
				trait = kind
				trait = charitable
				trait = honest
			}
		}
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		days = 180
	}
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTE74000"
		tooltip_info = charitable
		trigger = {
			trait = charitable
		}
		random_vassal = {
			limit = {
				OR = {
					trait = kind
					trait = charitable
					trait = honest
				}
			}
			opinion = {
				modifier = opinion_approves
				who = ROOT
				years = 2
			}
		}
	}
}

What I did to teach myself was to copy the code of events like that exactly and then change it to suit my needs.

Also, the holy war CB is the one named "religious", correct?

Yes indeed.

Yes indeed.

God i wish my tests and exams were over already ,so i can get to start cracking at the code . :/

How would I design an event to impregnate any married female characters of a certain religion?

 

[yezhanquan]

Which part of the vanilla code deals with helping your vassals press their ducal claims? Need to do some cut and paste from there.

 

[richvh]

Something along this line (calling event/decision is left as an exercise):

character_event = {
	id = xxxx
	desc = "EVTDESCxxxx"

	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	trigger = {
		is_female = yes
		is_married = yes
		is_pregnant = no
		NOT = { age = 45 }		#I assume you don't want post-menopause pregnancies
		religion = fertility_cult		#or whatever your religion is
	}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTAxxxx"
		
		spouse = {
			ROOT = {
				impregnate = PREV
			}
		}
	}
}

[Arko]

can I make a building to provide mensual prestige or piety bonus to owner ?

 

[richvh]

No. Buildings can't directly affect characters.
