Set flag with edict?

[Botox]

Can you set a planet-flag with an edict?

Was trying to add an edict that triggers an event for that specific planet. As I haven't found any edicts that set a flag, just modifiers, question is can you and how would it look like?

This is pure speculation but try this

    immediate = {
        set_global_flag = YOUR_FLAG
   }

Be aware that even if this works the flag would stay when the edict ends.

Already tried it with

immediate = {
set_planet_flag = YOUR_FLAG
}

But it doesnt work.
I wanted to add an edict that triggers an event. The edict works but the flag is not set. Fired the event just to get the error that there is no planet with said flag. Tripple-checked for spelling and stuff but nothing.

Very annoying.

Another way is to create a modifier with the same duration as the edict. You can then check for the modifier in your events and it goes away at the end of the duration. Note that you would have to define the modifier (even as blank) in the Static_Modifiers file

add_modifier = {
modifier = "my_modifer"
days = 3600
}

I never thought about modifiers... thanks!

You can also just use the edict as the trigger by using has_planet_edict

So I tried the following:

## 01_planetary_edicts.txt
# Abandon Colony Edict (handle with care)
planet_edict = {
   name = "abandon_player_colony"
   influence_cost = @standardEdictCost
 
   allow = {
   }
 
   ai_weight = {
     weight = 0
   } 
}

## colony_events.txt
# Abandon Player Colony Event (trigger after edict)
planet_event = {
   id = abandon_player_colony.1
   title = "colony.12.name"
   desc = "colony.12.desc"
   picture = GFX_evt_nuclear_explosion
   show_sound = event_super_explosion
   location = ROOT
 
   trigger = {
     has_planet_edict = "abandon_player_colony"
   }
 
   mean_time_to_happen = {
     months = 1
   }
   
   option = {
     name = ABANDON
     destroy_colony = yes
   }
}

That does seem to work meh...
I can set the edict, which give the planet the modifier.
I can fire the event and remove a colony if I have that planet highlighted atm I fire the event (but says there is no modifier of that kind to be found).
It does not trigger due to having the modifier on the colony... wondering what I've done wrong there :/

Might be that planet events don't work like that, every planet_event that I've seen is triggered only. Try making a country event with trigger = {any_planet = {has_planet_edict = EDICT} that fires the event.

 

[Botox]

Some colony events are triggered due to having a modifier though (like the walking tree event chain).
Not brilliant but i'll have a look.

Thanks @Axelius .

Then I got no idea.

like this one

# Forests Move
planet_event = {
   id = colony.12
   title = "colony.12.name"
   desc = "colony.12.desc"
   picture = GFX_evt_alien_nature
   show_sound = event_alien_nature
   location = ROOT
  
   trigger = {
     has_modifier = "migrating_forests"
   }
  
   mean_time_to_happen = {
     months = 80
   }
  
   immediate = {
     random_tile = {
       limit = {
         has_blocker = "tb_wandering_forests"
         any_neighboring_tile = {
           has_blocker = no
           has_grown_pop = no
           has_building = no
           has_building_construction = no
         }
       }
       remove_blocker = yes
       random_neighboring_tile = {
         limit = {
           has_blocker = no
           has_grown_pop = no
           has_building = no
           has_building_construction = no
         }
         set_blocker = "tb_wandering_forests"
       }
     }
   }
  
   option = {
     name = PECULIAR
   }
}

Will think about it a while. There must be a way to check for edicts...
