CK2 triggering options based on traits

joemann · December 12, 2017

In a character event I am trying to differentiate between two sets of options depending on different traits.

In the event a narrative screen provides three options from which the character can chose. Each option has three sub-screens with text. For one of the options (option 3) I want to have two sets of three different sub screens (set a) and ( set b) which fire depending on whether the characters has trait a or trait b.

I have tried duplicating the main option script, each copy (option 3a and option 3b) with its own set of sub-screens with a different narrative, using a different trigger (based on the difference in trait) But although it works for one trait firing option 3a with the correct sub-screens, in the case of the second trait no sub-screens are fired when choosing the option and the chain ends there. The "connection" to option 3a seems to be missing.

What I am looking for is that if if option 3a is not available because the character does not have trait a but rather trait b, option 3a is bypassed and option 3b is automatically fired.

Has anybody tried something like this with success and if so how?

I am new to this so any help is appreciated.

Would you be so kind and post your event here?

Of course!

     # A3

character_event = {
   id = ksv.43
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal1


                                                           #trigger only is er uit

   desc = {
       trigger = {
       trait = dick_average = yes
   }

       text = ksv43desc
       picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal2

   }

   option = {
       name = ksvoptionfurther
       character_event = { id = ksv.431 }
   }
}
# A 31
character_event = {
   id = ksv.431
   desc = ksv431desc
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal2

is_triggered_only = yes

   option = {
       name = ksvoptionfurther
       character_event = { id = ksv.432 }
   }
}
# A32
character_event = {
   id = ksv.432
   desc = ksv432desc
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal3

is_triggered_only = yes

   option = {
       name = ksvoption1
   }

}

# A 33

character_event = {
   id = ksv.44
   desc = ksv.44desc
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal

                                               #triggeronly is eruit

   desc = {
       trigger = {
       trait = dick_huge = yes
   }
       text = ksv44desc
       picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal
   }

   option = {
       name = ksvoptionfurther
       character_event = { id = ksv.441 }
   }
}
# A 34
character_event = {
   id = ksv.441
   desc = ksv441desc
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal

is_triggered_only = yes

   option = {
       name = ksvoptionfurther
       character_event = { id = ksv.442 }
   }
}
# A 35
character_event = {
   id = ksv.442
   desc = ksv442desc
   picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal3

is_triggered_only = yes

   option = {
       name = ksvoption1
   }
}

I'm trying a variation on the KSV mod to get a first experience of modding. I can change text and pictures and am now trying to get different descriptions and pictures based on traits.

According to the CK2 modding Wiki it should work with a dynamic blok but I am doing something wrong. The above code seems to ignore the trait conditions and always and only shows the first three bloks A3 , A31 and A32. Your help is appreciated!

I don't really understand what do you want to do but maybe it would work like that:

character_event = {
id = ksv.44

                                               #triggeronly is eruit

   desc = {
       trigger = {
            trait = dick_huge
       }
       text = ksv44desc1
       picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal1
   }

desc = {

trigger = {

NOT = { trait = dick_huge }

       }
   text = ksv44desc2
       picture = GFX_evt_ksv.sexanal2

}

   option = {
       name = ksvoptionfurther
       character_event = { id = ksv.441 }
   }
}

Anyway, if you could explain me what is the problem, I could help more.

Thanks for your answer. I tried it but it still does not do the trick.

What I wanted to achieve is that:

when a character with the trait dick_average chooses an option he successively gets screens A3, A31 and A32 (each with their own text and pictures)

when a character with the trait dick_huge chooses the same option he gets screens A33, A34 and A35.

What happens in all the solutions I have used until now is that in both cases whatever the trait screens only screens A3, A31 and A32 show up.

However, I have just discovered what the problem is. The KSV mod that I am modding, does not have the traits dick_average and dick_huge. They belong to the Dark World Reborn mod that I have also activated and which runs in parallel. The result is that the character in the main screen has the trait (and I wanted to use it in KSV) but KSV does not recognize it. I tried copying ithe trait to the KSV trait folder, but that does all kind of strange things in game (characters loose their portraits, my character reverts to average dick rather than huge, ...)

So I have decided to abandon this line and focus on something a little more easy (I am still wrestling with getting sound activated in my event)

Sorry for having wasted your time. But I have learnt a couple of things along the way. Thanks for your trouble!

Inside the event options, you would have had a conditional that said "if trait = X, fire event Y, else if trait = Z fire event W else...

joemann · December 14, 2017

That is one of the things I tried before my first post, but of course it didn't work, because the trait was not recognized. I finally managed to get the Validator tool yesterday, so hopefully I will spot this type of error earlier in the future.

I think you should try mod the base game. Mods can be buggy or you can accidently disable them (like you did). I think you can learn the most from viewing files from the base game and other mods. I leave here a sample, you only need to replace and duplicate some of the aspects and it will fit whatever you want. I even put description to the different part. If anything is unclear I can help more.

namespace = YOU ### creates a namespace, only needs to be written once

character_event = {
id = YOU.44 ### event id
   border = GFX_event_normal_frame_war ### some boarder
is_triggered_only = yes
desc = {
trigger = {
trait = humble ### trait1
}
text = you44desc1 ### event desc for trait1
picture = GFX_evt_large_army ### picture for trait1
}
   desc = {
trigger = {
trait = proud ### trait2
}
text = you44desc2 ### event desc for trait1
picture = GFX_evt_bloody_man ### picture for trait1
}
desc = {
trigger = {
NOR = { ### else
               trait = humble
               trait = proud
           }
}
text = you44desc3 ### event desc for else
picture = GFX_evt_whispers ### picture for else
}
option = {
name = ksvoptionfurtherA ### name of the A option
       if = {
           limit = { trait = humble } ### this only happens when has trait2
           character_event = { id = YOU.441 } ### fires an event
           add_trait = diligent ### does something for test
           break = yes ### doesn't check other "if"s
       }
       if = {
           limit = { NOT = { trait = humble } } ### this only happens when doesn't have trait2
           character_event = { id = YOU.442 } ### fires an event
           prestige = 100 ### does something for test
       }
}
   option = {
name = ksvoptionfurtherB ### name of the B option
       trigger = {
           trait = proud ### this option only shows up when has trait1 but still can chose optionA
       }
       character_event = { id = YOU.443 } ### fires an event
       remove_trait = proud ### does something for test
}
}
