Not that I know of. It's in the localisation file, but that's it.

It's set to is_triggered_only, so it'll only trigger if it's specifically told to (usually in a on action, decision, or another event). You might want to add a line in the creation of Israel event that triggers this event.

Would the code for it be character_event = SoA.102 set in between the brackets?

 

[DC123456789]

I would add the line character_event = { id = EI.01 days = 1 } somewhere in the Creation of Israel event (probably in the immediate section). That way, once that triggers after you form Israel, that also triggers your custom event that assigns the trait.

Small question:

Each building has upgrade tiers. Most of the upgrade tiers have a unique description that appears if you hover your mouse over the upgrade symbol. However, some buildings only have one description for all upgrade tiers.

Where are the actual descriptions stored? Can more be added or is that stuff hard coded?

 

[DC123456789]

It's in localisation and fully moddable. Look in the files in common/buildings, you'll see "desc = xxx" lines. The "xxx" is in localisation (you'll have to search for it) and is what shows up as the description ingame.

I added the line like you said and this is what ends up happening.



I have in the event for the graphics:

picture = GFX_evt_coronation_cm
border = GFX_event_narrative_frame_religion

The notification is wrong and doesn't match what the graphics state.

Here's the localisation keys for the event.

EI_01;The Mashiach;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
EI_01_desc;Ever since the destruction of the Second Temple by the cruel Romans followed by the infestation of Jerusalem of both Christians and Muslims, we, the faithful Chosen People, have long awaited the Mashiach to retake what has been given to us by Yahweh. The Priests of Levi have confirmed your status as the Mashiach that has restored the United Kingdom of Israel and the Third Temple.;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
EI_01A;Blessed be Yahweh for it is through Him that we have returned to the Promised Land.;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

Thank you for all the help because I appreciate it.

You're not using the right namespace, it should be "namespace = EI".

 

[ThePatriot1776]

You're not using the right namespace, it should be "namespace = EI".

I changed all of the namespaces and added in the id = EI.01 to the mashiach event, but I still get that error screen. The event doesn't fire, but when I do it manually it's the same error.

 

[DC123456789]

In the line:

desc =*EVTDESC_EI_01

Replace your shift-space with a normal space and see if that helps.

Also:

has_character_flag = achievement_kingdom_of_david

Shouldn't it be "set_character_flag"? Doesn't seem relevant at all though, you may as well delete it.

Thanks a lot, found it!

I did everything you said and it's still not firing. If I try to fire it manually I get an error saying that event couldn't be found. 'm getting frustrated with this. LOL

How do the new changeable event descriptions work, via an if = {}?

Could you upload your mod, or at least the event file?

Here's the entire mod and thank you for looking at it.

Is it possible to define retinues in the character files so certain characters begin with them?

Bump.

 

[Dhop84]

OR = {
        NOT = { religion = miaphysite }
        NOT = { culture = coptic }
}

would be better, I think.

Cheers

Before even running it I can already see that you're missing a bracket at the end of EI.150101. It also seems like you're missing a "OR = {" at the beginning of your trigger section for EI.150102. That seems to fix the event.

Do you mind fixing it and uploading the changed mod?
