reverse_opinion

what exactly does "reverse_opinion" do as opposed to "opinion"?

edit: think I got the answer, thanks all!

I have 2 questions.

Is it possible to use "occluded=yes" from Muhammed to give characters a picture as portrait, on other characters with different pictures.
It's only using the one picture defined in assets.gfx

Is it possible to build a Suez Canal.

Code:

939;1382;portage;788;-1;-1;-1;-1;Suez Canal

It appears on the map, you can't use it.

I am trying to localise an event to search for the name of a child.
When I use [This.GetFirstName] I get the name of my ruler instead.
Here is the event:

Code:

character_event = {
	id = LECH.1
	title = "EVTTITLELECH.1"
	desc = "EVTDESCLECH.1"
	picture = GFX_evt_throne_room
	only_playable = yes
	
	trigger = {
	    OR = {
		    religion = slavic_pagan
			religion = slavic_pagan_reformed
		}
		any_child = {
     		age = 7
			is_female = no
			is_child_of = FROM
		    NOT = { has_character_flag = first_haircut }
			OR = {
		        religion = slavic_pagan
			    religion = slavic_pagan_reformed
		    }
		}
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
	    days = 0
	}
	
	option = {
	    name = "EVTOPTALECH.1"
		random_child = {
		    limit = {
			    age = 7
			    is_female = no
				is_child_of = FROM
		        NOT = { has_character_flag = first_haircut }
			    OR = {
		            religion = slavic_pagan
			        religion = slavic_pagan_reformed
		        }
		    }
		    set_character_flag = first_haircut
		    prestige = +5
			opinion = {
		        who = FROM
			    modifier = first_haircut_success
			    years = 5
		    }
			mother = {
			    opinion = {
				    who = FROM
				    modifier = first_haircut_success
				    years = 5
			    }
		    }
		}
		FROM ={
		    wealth = -20
	        prestige = +10
		}
		mother = {
			opinion = {
				who = FROM
				modifier = first_haircut_success
				years = 5
			}
		}
	}
	
	option = {
	    name = "EVTOPTALECH.2"
		wealth = -20
	    prestige = +10
	}
}

Also, is it possible to restrict the title of an event (by that I mean the "name = YADAYADA") using an if = {} clause?

I believe occluded is hard coded to Mohammed.

You would have to put all Atlantic and Indian Ocean sea zones in one ocean zone to allow travel through the Suez Canal.

Stolidicus · May 15, 2014

is

trigger = {
NOT = { trait = x }
NOT = { trait = y }
}

equal to

trigger = {
NOT = {
trait = x
trait = y
}
}

?

richvh · May 15, 2014

Yes. Inside a NOT block is the one place that the engine defaults to ORing rather than ANDing arguments.

Stolidicus · May 15, 2014

thanks!

one more... for the ai_chance, I believe the factor of the modifier multiplies/divides the original factor. but how does it all add up?

is it: f (original factor) * x (modifier factor 1) * y (modifier factor 2) * z (modifier factor 3) - example: 5 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 40 e.g. order does matter.

or rather: (f*x)+(f*y)+(f*z) - example: (5*2)+(5*2)+(5*2) = 30 e.g. order does not matter

In localisation, you can't refer to a scope that you switch to inside the event.

No.

Correct.

Correct.

A NOT trigger is basically a reverse AND trigger. I.e. every trigger in it must be false instead of every trigger being true.

Aww. Too bad.
Thanks for your help, though, Garsy! :3

Ok so I'm trying to create a female led holy order. How do I change the succision laws for a holy order I created so when it pops up its it will be engetic open elective.

SBolshevik · May 15, 2014

Either make a history file for it where you put that it has enatic succession or just add it as a parameter within the event.
For the history file route:

Code:

1.1.1 = {
      law = enatic_succession
}

For the event route:

Code:

d_yadayada = {
      law = enatic_succession
}

ragnin · May 15, 2014

Sorry I'm very bad at codding. The first one doesn't work for me since I'm activating holy order title via a decision so even if the history is set to enatic its not active. Once it activates it switches to agnatic open elective.

As for the event route I'm not sure where I would put it in. This is the decision code for activating them.

Code:

decisions = {	
	organize_sisterhood = {
		is_high_prio = yes
		potential = {
			AND = {
				has_landed_title = k_sadune
				OR = {
					religion = cathar
				}
			}
			prisoner = no
			age = 16
			NOT = { has_global_flag = sisterhood_founded }
		}
		allow = {
			OR = {
				tier = king
				tier = emperor
			}
			prestige = 300
			wealth = 300
		}
		effect = {
			set_global_flag = sisterhood_founded
			prestige = -300
			wealth = -300
			activate_title = { title = d_cathar_sisters status = yes }
			hidden_tooltip = {
				narrative_event = { id = ancrel.1150 }
				create_character = {
					random_traits = yes
					religion = cathar
					culture = ROOT
					dynasty = NONE
					female = yes
					age = 30
					trait = skilled_tactician
				}
				new_character = {
					d_cathar_sisters = {
						grant_title = PREV
					}
				}
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
		}
	}

A stupid question. Why are we obliged to use RGB format with a range of 0.0-1. when adding cultures/religions colors? Couldn't it be as in the landed_titles colors setting?

Not quite. In events you have to use add_law to change laws. law is used in triggers only.

You aren't. Lux Invicta uses 0-255 RGB values in cultures and religions.

Why a character scope is need for "set_global_flag"?

We having a problem stopping an event that should fire only one time in game start in which HRE Emperor sends an envoy to request if the Commune of Rome wants to become a vassal the problem that in the original version we had simply used "set_global_flag" without a character scope and the event continued to repeat itself any month.

This the code (already modified but with the offending part commented out):

Code:

character_event = {
	id = commune.4
	title = "EVTNAMEcommune.4"
	desc = "EVTDESCcommune.4"
	picture = GFX_evt_bad_news_soa
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
        # Not needed being "is_triggered_only"
	#trigger = {
	#	has_landed_title = d_commune_of_rome
	#}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTAcommune.4"
		FROM = {
			add_claim = c_roma
			opinion = {
				modifier = opinion_refused_alleigance
				years = 10
				who = ROOT
			}
		}
		prestige = 250
                # Probably in the previous "FROM" it would be the same
		FROM = { set_global_flag = asked_for_submission }
                # Not work? Why?
                # set_global_flag = asked_for_submission
	}
	
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTBcommune.4"
		FROM = { set_global_flag = asked_for_submission }
		d_commune of_rome = {
			set_defacto_liege = FROM
		}
                # Not work? Why?
                # set_global_flag = asked_for_submission
		prestige = -500
	}
}

Indeed after having added the "FROM" started to behave as expected (only one time it is called and I imagine this to be valid for all the game time span) but why the "FROM" is needed?

It isn't.

How/where from is the event triggered?
