Using Conditions?

[Tepacana]

Here's an example of a condition I'm trying to use to make a weight modifier for a tech. The intention is to make it so that if the owner does not have the specified ethics and civics, a weight modifier of factor = 0 is applied.

The Stellaris wiki doesn't go into much detail on how the condition block should look relative to the rest of the system, so I'm going here to ask.

You don’t use if statements like that, you need to remove them. You also have some unpaired brackets.

Any info on how I should use them? Or indeed any other way of doing what I want to do?

You should go into the common/technology/ directory and search for factor. You'll see how vanilla does it. They do not use "if," because it's implied. Just remove the "if = {" and it's matching "}" and then correct your three stanzas where you forgot to close the braces.

You'd likely also benefit from getting VSCode and the cwtools extension, which will tell you all of this (I think), before you run the game.

I would strongly recommend looking at vanilla code and seeing how they do it. The wiki is also a useful resource, although it's information is sometimes incomplete.
