Ok some of my code isn't working, i'll just post those snippets to see if anyone can spot the issue.

Any idea why, guessing i screwed up a scope somwhere...

I think "ideal_planet_class" is a hardcoded function.
@Carl_Bar
Check your spelling, specifically these - "has_edcit =", should be "has_edict ="

Corrected the typo, still no dice. Also the spaceport module modifiers is still non-functional and two more non-functional ones have turned up:

I was trying to tinker with the special system initializer so that primitives would pick a portrait from a custom list defined by me instead of picking it randomly from all available portraits specified in species classes. Attached below was one of my failed attempts:-
Can anyone help me on how to specify a custom portrait list for the primitives? Tried a few different ways to code it with no success. I have no idea if I am using the wrong scopes/triggers etc any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
create_species = {
name = random
class = random
random_list = {
if = {
limit = { class = HUM }
50 = { portrait = humanoid_01 }
50 = { portrait = humanoid_02 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = MAM }
20 = { portrait = mam1 }
20 = { portrait = mam2 }
20 = { portrait = mam3 }
20 = { portrait = mam4 }
20 = { portrait = mam5 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = REP }
20 = { portrait = rep1 }
20 = { portrait = rep2 }
20 = { portrait = rep3 }
20 = { portrait = rep4 }
20 = { portrait = rep5 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = AVI }
20 = { portrait = avi1 }
20 = { portrait = avi2 }
20 = { portrait = avi3 }
20 = { portrait = avi4 }
20 = { portrait = avi5 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = ART }
50 = { portrait = art1 }
50 = { portrait = art2 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = MOL }
50 = { portrait = mol1 }
50 = { portrait = mol2 }
}
if = {
limit = { class = FUN }
50 = { portrait = fun1 }
50 = { portrait = fun2 }
}
}
homeworld = THIS
traits = {
trait = random_traits
}

Individual item inside create_species is not effect, so you cannot use if there. You can create species with random properties first, then use modify_species within if to change portrait. See scripted effect make_unleashed_messenger for example. (Located in 00_scripted_effects.txt).
Thank you for your suggestion. Doesn't modify species create sub-species though? I want to make primitives pick from a specified list from game start so I don't think modify_species would serve the purpose.

I think this would be easier to see if we see the entire file, you can attach the .txt by using Upload a File.
In the meantime, try removing the AND bracket. It shouldn't be messing things up, but you never know.
The following code always returns TRUE and always changes the PC. LIMIT does not limit "has_trait = trait_custom1."
Expected: Should only return TRUE if LIMIT. Should only change PC if the trait is picked.
I have tried changing the scope to LEADER, HOME_PLANET, CAPITAL_SCOPE, and a few others all with the same results.

Code:

has_trait = trait_custom1
}
change_pc = pc_classname
}
}Multiple problems exist in that code.
At least try this
Code:
change_pc_if_trait_custom1 = {
if = {
limit = {
owner_species = { has_trait = trait_custom1 }
}
change_pc = pc_classname
}
}Thanks for the reply.
I have tried IF > LIMIT in many configurations and it always returns FALSE. Does not change PC.
I have gone through all the scripts in the commons folder than might bare any relation to what I am trying to achieve and in all of them the format is
Code:
SCOPE =
LIMIT = SOMETHING
EFFECT = DO EFFECTSo I have limited my tinkering to that. I have come to the conclusion that the thing I want to do can not be done.
I really wish there was a clear, documented, outline of the rules for the scripting syntax. And someway to test scripts without having to launch the game and see if it works.
You can do it via the console in the game. By using the command "reload" you reload all assets, including any txt. You can also use "run [filename].txt" to run any file that you put in documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\
Also, I think I know why it doesn't work. You're doing this in the solar system initializer, correct? The thing is, this is done as the system and planets are initialized, this means that they have not been assigned to the country yet. As such you have no target for "owner", unless you create the country itself in the initialization, which given that this is a custom country you haven't.
The best option in this case is probably to assign the planet a flag and run an event on the "on_game_start" on_action that runs the check for every country.

Thanks for the reply and the tip about the console commands.
Yeah, this was my conclusion as well. I will take a break to give myself some time to process some of the info i have read in the last 3 days. Then I will look at the on game start, on action, and how to use flags.
Thanks again!
This is a long shot, but I'll ask anyway: is there any conceivable way one could get the color of energy weapons to match the owner empire's flag?
I was thinking of trying "if" statements in the different energy weapon files ("if flag color = blue, then weapons = blue") but I have no idea whether that would work. Is it even possible to draw flag colors?
Also, unrelated: what program would I use to edit .mesh files?

The Colors of the weapons are softcoded in the particles Folder -> ...\SteamApps\common\Stellaris\gfx\particles\combat\
You could try to change the code to get the result, but personally I have no clue if it would work this way.
Currently you have to use Maya with a User-made importer/exporter to get your hands on the original files -> Post
When exactly does "on_leader_spawned" execute? When a leader is added to the recruitment pool? That's what I am assuming based on how it's currently used in-game (e.g., to add cyborg and other such traits as appropriate). What if I wanted to launch an event when the leader is actually recruited by the player?
