Hey,

I made an event chain with 6 steps.

Event number 4 in the chain gets a random vassal to interact with, using save_event_target_as .

If i run the event from console, it shows my icon and the vassals icon.

If i run event 1 and let it continue, at event number 4 it only shows my picture.

Any ideas why?

What I see most people do in their mods is assign the npc a flag then use that flag to reference them in the rest of the chain. Events don't seem to hold scope, reverting to ROOT(usually you) for the next event, so the flag is used to bring that npc back into each event. When you are done with the npc remove the flag.

There is so much I don't know and hopefully somebody who knows more can actually explain why, but this is what I see a lot of people do to get around the limitation.

Not without looking at the script, I fear.

I ran into a weird thing the other day.

For targetted decision filters, does anyone know how the "home" in "home_court" is determined? I have a character that should be presented a decision for one of its prisoner. All potententials match. However the decision is not in the list. If I change the filter from "home_court" to "court" the decision is shown.

I actually have found 3 decisions in my mod that seem affected. The only thing I can see is for some reason my characters court is not considered its "home". Any other ideas?

From my understanding home_court is your court or at least your capital's court. (Basically everyone listed in the court tab + your prisoners)

Court scope to your hosts court. Host being the where your character resides. (Such as your liege, or if you imprisoned it would be whoever has you imprisoned.)

As for why court works and home_court does not it really depends on who holds the prisoner and possible your scripting later on. Without seeing the coding for the decision there really isn't a way to say for certain why home_court is not working.

Does anyone know if there is a way to alter a character's age with an event? I know it is easily done through console commands but I would prefer to be able to have it as a result of an event option. Either by someone gaining years through a harrowing experience or being rejuvenated by a good one

I have tried before with no success. The only in-game mechanic for that is the console command, but putting that command into an event does not seem to work.

sorry for the wall of text

The first thing that jumps out to me is that both the wiki and DWR use a scope block around saving your event_target

so in event 3

save_event_target_as = GFFT_noble_who_fucks

probably needs to be

FROM = {save_event_target_as = GFFT_noble_who_fucks }

I am doing similar things right now and that's how I did it, works fine for me. So worth trying until someone comes up with a better answer. :classic_biggrin:

adrikappa · May 15, 2018

hey,

thanks for the answer, i will try it and post feedback

adrikappa · May 16, 2018

Alaratt, i have no idea how or why but running the event chain today everything is ok. The icon of the vassal shows up. I was messing around with another mod and when i tried today with this one it just works. I didnt change anything. I will work on the other routing events and see if anything happens.

On another topic, i am trying to use create_tradepost and im having some issues. I have all the requirements for creating it.

When testing, the event recognizes FROM and the saved event target but when i click the option i dont get the tradepost.

Targetted decision.

get_fucked_for_trade_post = {
       only_playable = yes
       filter = independent_rulers

       }

       ai_will_do = {
           factor = 0
       }

   }

EVENT.

narrative_event = {
   id = GFFT_holdings.5003

   title = "I need to another tradepost"
   desc = "get fucked for a tradepost"
   picture = brothel_female_female_fingerbang

   is_triggered_only = yes

   immediate = {
       FROM = {
           random_realm_province = {
               limit = {
                   AND = {

                       port = yes
                   }
               }
               save_event_target_as = GFFT_tradepost_objective
           }
       }
   }

   option = {
       name = "lets get fucked for tradepost"
       create_tradepost = GFFT_tradepost_objective #465
   }

   option = {
       name = "nevermind"
   }
}

I tried create_tradepost = 465 and it works perfectly. But i want it to be dinamic depending on the ruler i choose. So how can i scope the province when using create_tradepost.

I'm still trying to get my on_action event chain to work.

narrative_event = {
   id = RSLRandom.600
   desc = "RSLRandom"
   picture = dog_1

   ai = no

   is_triggered_only = yes #by on_action yearly pulse

   trigger = {
           liege = {
           has_character_modifier = pet_hunting_dog }
           }





   option = {

       random_host_courtier = {
                           limit = {
                               is_female = yes
                               age = 14
                               NOT = { trait = incapable }
                               prisoner = no
                           }
                       }
                       name = rsl_further

           random_host_courtier = { narrative_event = { id = RSLRandom.603 }}   #female courtier event
           }


}

I still have two problems:

Event.600 has only the player character in scope and I have difficulties in getting the random_host_courtier with the defined limits in scope.

Putting it in an option shows two random courtiers on the bottom right page but they don't fit the defined limits. In addition the follow-up event doesn't fire.

If I use host = { instead of random_host_courtier = { the event does fire but without the random courtier.

If I put the random_host_courtier block above the option block it does call a courtier into the next event but does not apply the limits (so I get men and children as well). In addition it doesn't fire the next event (.603) but skips to the subsequent event (.605).

I would appreciate your advice

***DoctaSax*** · May 16, 2018

The limit should be applied in the command block:

    option = {    
        name = rsl_further  
        random_host_courtier = {
             limit = {
                 is_female = yes
                 age = 14
                 NOT = { trait = incapable }
                 prisoner = no
             }
          narrative_event = { id = RSLRandom.603 }
        }
   }

joemann · May 16, 2018

This seems to work in that the limit is now respected. I get only one courtier in the option bar on the lower right-hand page. However the next events shows only the player character, no courtier in sight (in scope).

Adding random_host_courtier = { narrative_event etc just breaks the chain.

Does an on_action_event on_yearly _pulse only have a ROOT scope? I can't seem to pull any other characters in.

maybe something like

option = {
       name = "lets get fucked for tradepost"
       create_tradepost = GFFT_tradepost_objective #465

        new_tradepost = {

             owner = {

                  event_target:GFFT_tradepost_objective

             }

        }
}

or something similar, maybe.

Maybe i didnt explain very well. GFFT_tradepost_objective is the random province. If i use create_tradepost = 465, i get a tradepost in that province in my ownership.

What i want is to have it be dinamic. So any province i choose can get me a tradepost. i tried something like

GFFT_tradepost_objective = {

create_tradepost = THIS

}

and it doesent work. I want a way to scope the saved event target maybe using create_tradepost = PREV or something like

create_tradepost = { province = GFFT_tradepost_objective }

I dont know how to achieve this.

no, I should have read it better, I thought you were trying to make ai create tradeposts or something. Other then a long OR block with every province ID in it the only other way I know of to scope a specific province is to use one of your councilors.

I use a cheat mod that does this with the chancellor and his diplomatic function where you can place him anywhere outside of your realm to improve relations, then in an event scopes to the province he is in to get a claim immediately on the province/duchy/kingdom titles. You would have to use a different councilor that has a similar function that works inside your realm, then use something like this for the first option ;

option = {
name = "lets get fucked for tradepost"

job_marshal = { #place him where you want the tradepost to be using his suppress revolts function before you activate the event

location = {

county = {

IF = {

limit = {

has_trade_post = no

port = yes

}

create_tradepost = ROOT

}

and then you should be able to delete the entire immediate block. This would be if you were wanting them in your lands. switch job_marshal to job_chancellor if its intended to be in ai owned provinces and use his diplomatic function, then set trigger the event.

Alaratt,

I found a mod called BuildAllUpgradeAll and i found something that works. I dont know why PREV works here and THIS didnt work in my try but at least i can move on. here is the working code

option = {
       name = "lets get fucked for tradepost"
       FROM = {
           random_realm_province = {
               limit = {
                   AND = {
                       has_trade_post = no
                       port = yes
                   }
               }
               ROOT = {
                   if = {
                       limit = {
                           is_patrician = yes
                       }
                       create_tradepost = PREV
                       }
                   }
           }
       }
   }

FROM is the guy i use the targetted decision on. ROOT is me. This lets me pick the realm where i can have the tradepost but not the province itself. I will try to make a title decision instead of a targetted decision and see what happens

I think it should be

create_tradepost = event_target:GFFT_tradepost_objective

Is there somewhere in the code that specifically handles the chance for taking captives after a siege?

Ideally I would like to be able to increase the chances of taking courtiers/wives/daughters/etc in the aftermath of a siege/battle...

Alternatively, is there a mod that does this already? Thanks!

There is on_action trigger on_siege_over_loc_chars that fires events for all chars in captured holding

short: is it even worth playing CKII if one has only the basegame with no DLCs?

will any perverted mods work?

if so which should i install going for a medieval + medieval mythology experience. (no japanese anime hentai monsters and elves/orks/alien races)

CK2 has plenty of stuff in the base game and I would say it is worth it. There are lots of cool features in the DLC packs but they aren't required to have a good time. There are a lot of them though so better to try the games base version before buying anything else.

I think Dark World Reborn can be used with just the base game, and you can set the game rules to include only what you want to play with. So no orcs/elves etc. should work just fine. It's hard to recommend any more then that though since I been playing for years and slowly bought all the DLC, so not having a DLC pack isn't something I have checked on.

Hello,

I am trying to make it possible to choose which culture's clothing character is wearing

Is there a way to do it in portrait_propeties.txt?

Or at least some way to trigger clothing overrides, like one used for society clothing, without adding new traits to use portrait_has trait?
