Request for more modding commands in hoi3

[unmerged(150596)]

Hi,

Now the 1.3 patch is on the road of being released soon correcting a large amount of bugs, i am starting this thread to speek about modding in hoi3.
Many great mods where existing in hoi2 extending the life of the game still played after 5 years. The mods teams are working to port those mods to hoi3 system.
Reading the actuel hoi3 scripting guide http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=416126 i think that some commands, sometimes existing in hoi2, are missing to give the modders the oportunity to make great mods based on hoi3.

I am very aware that the correction of bugs was the priority number 1 of the dev team until now, but i also sure that modding capacity is a necessity to have great mods for hoi3. So i am proposing you to add some commands on the decision and event mechanism.


Event trigger (no scope)
- day = x # True if the day is greater than x

Event trigger (country scope)
- escort_pool = x # True is the number of escort is greater than x
- transport_pool = x # True is the number of transport is greater than x
- is_tech_active = name # True is the technologie <name> is active
- tech_level { name = "name" value = x } # True is the technologie <name> is greater than x
- practical_level { name = "name" value = x } # True is the practical <name> is greater than x
- theory_level { name = "name" value = x } # True is the theory <name> is greater than x
- total_amount_of_brigade { type = "name" value = x } # True if the number of brigade of the type <name> is greater than x (land, air or naval)
- embargo = tag # True if the specified country <tag> make embargo
- mobilization # True if the mobilization has begun
- officer = x # True is the % of officer is greater than x
- nuke = x # True is the number of nuclear bomb is greater than x

Event trigger (province scope)
- has_building_level { name = "name" value = x } # True is the building <name> is greater than x
- country_units_in_region = x # True if the number of units in region is greater than x

Event effect (country scope)
- escort_pool = +/- x # Increase/Decrease number of escort by x
- transport_pool = +/- x # Increase/Decrease number of transport by x
- activate_tech = name # Activate the technology <name>
- desactivate_tech = name # Desactivate the technology <name>
- gain_tech = name # Increase from one point the technology <name>
- gain_tech { name = "name" value = x } # Technology <name> is set to level x
- gain_practical = name # Increase from one point the practical level <name>
- gain_practical { name = "name" value = x } # Practical <name> is set to level x
- gain_theory = name # Increase from one point the theorical level <name>
- gain_theory { name = "name" value = x } # Theory <name> is set to level x
- remove_unit = name # Remove unit <name>
- remove_unit_type = name # Remove an unit from the brigade type <name> (land, air or naval)
- sleepevent = x # Disable event x
- embargo = tag # Begin an embargo with <tag> country
- end_embargo = tag # End an embargo with <tag> country
- mobilization # Begin the mobilization
- end_mobilization # End the mobilization
- officer = +/- x # Increase/Decrease the % of officer by x
- nuke = +/- x # Increase/Decrease the number of nuclear bomb by x
- song = name # Play the song <name> if the country of the player is the same of the event

Event effect (provine scope)
- add_armygroup { name = "name" historical_model = x/current reserve=0/1 } # Add an armygroup HQ <name2>
- add_army { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" historical_model = x/current reserve=0/1 } # Add an army HQ <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is armygroup)
- add_corps { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" historical_model = x/current reserve=0/1 } # Add a corps HQ <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is army, armygroup)
- add_division { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" } # Add a division <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is corps, army, armygroup)
- add_regiment { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" type = "type_brigade" historical_model = x/current reserve=0/1 } # Add a brigade <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is division, corps, army, armygroup)
- add_air { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" } # Add an air <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here can be a carrier, a corps, an army, an armygroup)
- add_wing { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" type = "type_wing" historical_model = x/current } # Add a wing <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is air)
- add_navy { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" } # Add a navy fleet <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here can be a corps, an army, an armygroup)
- add_ship { hierarchy = "name1" name = "name2" type = "type_ship" historical_model = x/current } # Add a ship <name2> to the hierarchy <name1> (the hierarchy here is navy)

Feel free to comment those propositions, add new ones or indicate if some of this commands are already existings, the scripting guide is incompete in certain ascpect (command for adding level in building not describe for exemple)

Thanks

This would be a realy great Extension for the game.

Some things I found out would be nice for modding buildings:

- make it possible for a building to change more then one thing in a province
- allow negative provincial resources
- allow subtraction or addition of X of a province, instead of only X%
- allow supplies/fuel to be generated in a province

Some of these were possible in HoI2 but were then left out of HoI3

- Deactivate unit from production

I support this thread!

I support this, although some in the OP are pretty impossible...remove an individual unit by name? 30 seconds thinking about that brings up a host of problems.

Effects to change the stats of units in the province are what I want most (not specific units, just all_units_in_province would be fantastic). Any way at all to affect units via province event would be great.

My 2nd biggest desire is for a fleshing out of combat events. "is_attacking" and "is_defending" are the only two triggers right now, and we could do so very much if we had a full set of triggers and effects. Having the ability to create tons of new traits is pretty dull unless we have a way to assign them in combat. Triggers for types of terrain and hardness of units involved would be priceless here.

Remove_building would be good also...I'll stop there for now.

-activate//deactivate law
-change current law
-province scope: IC =
-province scope: radar =
-% resources from a puppet
-% resources from GLOBAL puppets

The idea behind the 2 remove commands is to remove an unit by his type to mod the demobilization of the post-war where the belligerant disbanded many of their divisions or naval units or air unit. The remove by name in my idea is for removing a special unit (for exemple the Japanese Fuso battleship) to mod the big modernization of certain ship during the pre-war time. Those two type of commands where existing in hoi2 remenber the remove_division command.

Remove_building would be good also...I'll stop there for now.

5315 = { industry = -10 }

where 5315 is the id of province

-province scope: IC =
-province scope: radar =

5315 = { industry = +/-x }
5315 = { radar_station = +/-x }

ok, thx, wasnt in the scripting guides.

I really hope someone at PI notices this
