Modding - Quick questions

[Rockphed]

But every province has culture and religion assigned to it, so I don't understand the problem.

If you have a landless title that doesn't have a defined culture or religion it will generate a character with neither culture nor religion. I think.

I added culture and religion to every single landed title and title history, just to be sure, but I still get the same error.

it does not work for dead ruler, but sometime it work, but for all ruler. I want to make only one graphic gfx, anyone help me!

modifier = {
     factor = 100
     location = {
          OR = {
               region = world_india
               region = custom_sindh
          }
     }
     OR = {
          location = {
               OR = {
                    region = world_india
                    region = custom_sindh
               }
          }
          AND = {
               is_alive = no
               is_ruler = yes
          }
     }
     is_female = no
}

EDIT : So here I adding new special crown.. but don't know how to make it for only one character.

I don't think dead characters have a location, and I'm unsure if dead characters can pass is_ruler = yes. It'd probably be better to use hidden traits to assign special crowns to dead people, similar to how vanilla does it.

 

[swampy111]

I'm confused about chaining scopes, PREV, and how event targets (and persistent event targets) affect that.

I have a limit block that's along these lines:

any_courtier = { #it's a condition, so no need for limit
    ROOT = {
        persistent_event_target:godfather = {
            #------------------- scripted trigger ------------------
            PREVPREV = {
                persistent_event_target:godfather = { character = PREVPREV }
            }
            #------------------- scripted trigger ------------------
        }
    }
}

Here, I want to check if there are any courtiers that share the same godfather as ROOT, but I'm basically debugging a scripted trigger (one that's used a lot, and with many different scopes too), so I can't really use anything but the persistent event target (godfather) and PREVs.

As far as I understand, PREV just jumps back one level in a scope chain; so using why is the last PREVPREV not working? I did some testing (through traits, lol), and as far as I understand, PREVPREV doesn't exist in line 6 (in the code above).

Oh yes, you're right "is_ruler = yes" does not work in this case. So here I adding some Events to get the hidden Traits, correct me please.. this doesn't work at all..

character_event = {
    id = alfian.1
    hide_window = yes

    is_triggered_only = yes

    trigger = {
        capital_scope = {
            OR = {
                region = world_india
                region = custom_sindh
            }
        }
    }
 
    immediate = {
        if =  {
            limit =  {
                capital_scope = {
                    OR = {
                        region = world_india
                        region = custom_sindh
                    }
                }
            }
            add_trait = dead_indian
        }
    }
}

    }

            }
            add_trait = dead_indian
        }
    }
}

There's no need to have the add_trait in an if block, since ROOT always will pass the limit due to passing the identical trigger and you thus waste performance running an identical check. Regardless of whether that is there or not, the event should give ROOT the dead_indian trait, so if that doesn't happen I suspect one or more of the following is causing problems:

- The event is never called. is_triggered_only events need to be explicitly called from somewhere.

- The event fires for the wrong character or in a non-character scope (e.g. a province).

- One or both regions is not defined properly, or ROOT's capital isn't in either region.

- dead_indian is not defined, and thus it cannot be added.

- ROOT does not live up to the potential block for dead_indian.

To be honest I don't really understand about Coding in the CK2.. but here actually I also add new Traits.

I am trying to select people who can be made vassals of a merchant republic. Right now I have

limit = {
      OR = {
            is_ruler = no
            AND = {
                  is_republic = yes
                  is_patrician = no
                  lower_tier_than = ROOT
            }
      }
}

where the base scope is a patrician, but I don't think it will work right if it triggers off a patrician who isn't the doge. I want it to be flexible enough to grab mayors from baron to king tier (depending on the rank of the merchant republic).

 

[swampy111]

Really dumb question here, but i didn't find anything on the wikia. Does putting stuff inside a tooltip = { } (tooltip, not custom_tooltip) block ensure that its content is not executed, but instead, only a tooltip is generated?

Correct. You can use it to communicate information to more than one character, but only execute it once.

You can't use limit inside a singular scope like liege. Use if instead.

what is the best way to set as a variable to max levies of a realm? It needs to include only feudal rulers and not include mercenaries, retinues, vassals etc

I've tried

        any_realm_lord = {
            limit = {
                higher_real_tier = baron
                is_feudal = yes
            }
            any_demesne_title = {
                limit = {
                    holding_type = castle
                }
                export_to_variable = { which = local_levy_var value = holding_raisable_levy }
                change_variable = { which = local_holding_levy_count_var which = local_levy_var }
            }
        }
        any_demesne_title = {
            limit = {
                holding_type = castle
            }
            export_to_variable = { which = local_levy_var value = holding_raisable_levy }
            change_variable = { which = local_holding_levy_count_var which = local_levy_var }
        }
        set_variable = { which = test_holding_levy_var which = local_holding_levy_count_var }
        any_demesne_title = {
            limit = {
                holding_type = castle
            }
            export_to_variable = { which = local_own_levy_var value = holding_raisable_levy }
            change_variable = { which = local_own_holding_levy_count_var which = local_own_levy_var }
        }
        set_variable = { which = test_own_holding_levy_var which = local_own_holding_levy_count_var }

but it's returning the same value for test_own_holding_levy_var and test_holding_levy_var which is obviously wrong
Also, test_own_holding_levy_var doesn't match up with the military screen, seems more like levy+garrison

*edit* corrected higher_real_tier to higher_real_tier_than - the values are now different from each other, as they should be, but it still seems more like it's returning levy+garrison

This calculation won't account for various modifiers that reduce a vassal's provided levy, so it will be higher than the actual max levies of a realm.

would those be modifiers applied to the holdings or characters?

I want to add all the feudal levies together (in the entire realm) which will then be used to calculate the size of my "legions" (mercenaries available to any king+ in realm) .
The size and number of the mercenaries will be adjusted on an ongoing basis (never decreased though) with modifiers applied/removed to/from the holdings to reduce the total feudal realm levies inline with the total size of the legions.

Thank you. Now that the event works I just need to get it to do everything I want. Muwahahahaha!

I'm interested in this modding idea and actually I've done one. Would you wanna give it a try?

I have the event working thanks to Whizzer. I just have some peripheral stuff to clean up (like making sure that the new Patrician has a dynasty). Once I have those taken care of I'll post a thread for the mod. It only really will have 2 events in 2 files (an on_death to call the event you quoted and the event). I might make a third event to generate a family for the new patrician (since generating a family in the game rule events is incredibly verbose).
