Quick Questions Thread

Was working on my custom system initializer, when I tried to copy code from the Fallen Empire Initializer and give players an upgraded starting station.

Didn't work. How would one go about doing this?

Bumping again. Question is still live.

Can I start the construction of the building through event?

add_building_construction = <building_tag> should be usable from a tile-scope.

 

[Iyur]

So, if we can write some new types, is there any way we can get current sector_type? And how?

Bump.

 

[IG11]

I believe change_dominant_species.

I have not been able to get this to work in any form and it is not used once in the files for the base game. Care to share a specific syntax/example? Because I can't get it to work.

I'm into machine learning and would like to program an AI for Stellaris. All I can find is how to change decision configruation paramters. I would like to do something deeper then that, is that possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?

 

[Omelie]

Have somebody succeeded to create completely new star class? I've tried and failed so far.

Best I have gotten is 1 star type with an overlapping aura. OR a star without the sky box.

I remember in one of the live streams it was mentioned that you can not rewrite the AI in any way, just modify the existing variables which provide priorities and what actions a given AI will perform.

You can make the AI more aggressive but you can not change how it will approach a battle.

I might be wrong though, someone likely knows more than I do about this.

Ok here is a question I havent seen asked before, is it possible to increase or decrease system size? What I mean by that is the total outer limit size.

 

[Torngasuk]

Is it impossible to have two asteroid belts in a scripted star system?

Curious about this, as well.

 

[schedim]

Tried to search for this but failed to find. Is there a smart way to restrict random_country to Fallen Empires?

[and instantly after this found : is_country_type = fallen_empire ]

My google fu failed me ... Hard!

Is it possible to add logic to a trigger in the code, IE multiple values need to be true like AND/OR evaluations? If so, how would you code this?

e.g. in the below , say you wanted an action if the pop was male and a leader and not have them as separate conditions with whatever comes last writing over the earlier one. With the intention of having a separate female leader trigger also.

add = {
trigger = {
gender = male
}
portraits = {
type_02
}
}

add
trigger = {
leader_class = ruler
}
portraits = {
type_01
}
}

Can you use & or commas or this just isn't possible?

Just use OR, AND and NOT like you would in an if limit block.

 

[Shirokitsune]

Can we localise variables?

As Yard1PL said.

Do something like this

trigger= { 
OR = {
AND = {gender = male
leader_class = ruler}
AND = {gender = female
leader_class = ruler}
}
}

Thanks for the reply. I've been searching since I posted this and found instructions for EUIV which seem to work. I've only just tested it and this (also?) seems to work:

You add a rule in the common\scripted_triggers folder and then refer to that in the trigger condition. e.g.

male_sci_trigger = {
leader_class = scientist
gender = male
}

Then in with your trigger condition you do the following

add = {
trigger = {
male_sci_trigger = yes
}
portraits = {
male_sci_05
}
}

In the EUIV instructions it says AND has to be used like this if you want to check two values are equal, I guess it doesnt matter which method you use?

AND = { adm_power = 10 dip_power = 10 }

Hello

Does anyone know how to change the government ethics (through an event for exemple)? I can't find any line that does that in the game or in the wiki :/

 

[Kyojin]

I am at the final stages for my mod, all the events work when I do not have a namespace and I trigger them through the console.

The problem is that once I add a namespace nothing works anymore. I get this error message ([23:49:39][eventmanager.cpp:534]: unknown namespace '[civ_trade' defined in event files) event though my namespace is civ_trade not [civ_trade.

The other weird thing is that on some of the events when i try and trigger them through console with a namespace they instead trigger an advisor event that corresponds with the number at the end of the event. So civ_trade.2 triggers advisor.2 and civ_trade.10 triggers advisor.10. This happens for events 1-3 and then event 10 for some reason.

Any idea what might be going on?

 

[FitzOmega]

Can someone understand how to use "change_dominant_species", "declare_white_peace_with"?

Also for "is_subspecies"

([23:49:39][eventmanager.cpp:534]: unknown namespace '[civ_trade' defined in event files) event though my namespace is civ_trade not [civ_trade.

Have you searched in all your files for [civ_trade ?
