PieChartTypes

[rubyiguess]

It appears throughout the files whenever a pie chart is generated by the game (like in the political chart), it's being at most handled within the gui files as:

pieChartType = {

name = "GFX_political_chart_small"
size = 26

}

It appears some internal scripting is responsible for making the chart actually display what it does. This is slightly tricky for my purposes since I was hoping to be able to properly utilize an element like this in a mod.

Does anyone here know anything about the formatting/other things that'd be needed to actually generate a custom pie chart? It seems like any and all information about pieChartTypes is scarce. I know that I'd have to do this through some sort of scripted GUI, but it seems like the method by which modifying the things displayed on the chart is done is never explained anywhere from my knowledge

As far as I can tell, you cannot make a pie chart like the political party popularities via scripting.

Ah. I guess the way that the Political Popularities are hardwired into the game in a way that can't really be replicated.

I'm not sure whether I understand you right; but for sure you can edit political popularity via focus , events or decisions and then the pie-chart will "show" the new result.

The OP is asking if and how it would be possible to reuse the pie chart graphical widget, such as the one used to display political popularity, but with different inputs, for use in the UI of a mod. It seems the answer is no, because the inputs are hardwired into the widget, it's not parametrable.

Make some commotion and they might make it so

Got it; thanks for your helpful explanation

I have no idea who I'd contact for that though, lol.

Make a post in the suggestions forum.

Edit: and clearly explain what you want and what you need it for and why you can't access it right now. I know some of this is in this thread but the more concentrated and well put together the argument, the more likely people are to listen.
