Trait help

[Vaz]

Just wondering if I can have some help with this trigger - will this trigger fire?

Trigger:

Trigger LondonBasedGeneral_0001
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition IsGeneral
          and SettlementName London

    Affects LondonBasedGeneral  1  Chance  100

For some reason, it doesn't seem to be working in game, but there are no errors, and the traits are all perfectly aligned with their ingame texts. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks for your time.

No, it won't work:

Identifier: CharacterComesOfAge
Event: A Character has come of age
Exports: nc_character_record, character_record, faction, region_id, character_type
Class: ET_COMING_OF_AGE
Author: Lee

You can see the event exports a region_id but not a settlement.

Maybe this can be used:

Identifier: IsRegionOneOf
Trigger requirements: region_id
Parameters: list of regions given by label or number
Sample use: IsRegionOneOf 0 Caribbean_Isles
Description: Test is a region in given region list?
Battle or Strat: Strat
Class: IS_REGION_ONE_OF
Implemented: Yes
Author: Grig

And so something like this might work:

Trigger LondonBasedGeneral_0001
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition IsGeneral
          and IsRegionOneOf 0 London_Province

    Affects LondonBasedGeneral  1  Chance  100

Looking at it I guess the 0 indicates the amount of regions to be checked. Perhaps the amount in excess of the first region specified.

Or maybe this is how it should be:

Trigger LondonBasedGeneral_0001
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition IsGeneral
          and IsRegionOneOf London_Province

    Affects LondonBasedGeneral  1  Chance  100

And so perhaps the example in docudemons is confusing me by showing the 2 choices.

Ah, so if we change the region to be labelled as London, we could replace that with IsRegionOneOf 1 London?

Are there any other limitations to labelling regions?

[Taiji]

Do you mean the region name? I can't see why you'd want to change that for this.

Look in descr_regions.txt (I think those are the regions refered to), maybe it will help.

That number is the province’s ID number. You can use the ‘show_cursorstat’ console command to get that, and then you just need to get the province’s name from the ‘imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names’ file.

Trigger LondonBasedGeneral_0001
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

Condition IsGeneral
and IsRegionOneOf 0 London_Province

Affects LondonBasedGeneral 1 Chance 100

[Vaz]

Ahh thank you! Looks so simple. +Rep each .

[konny]

The region name, BTW, is not needed:

IsRegionOneOf 0

works the same. You can also list a couple of regions that way:

IsRegionOneOf 0, 3, 117, 92

It will fire in any those provinces.


Attention: Changing province borders might change region_IDs; so either implement this kind of trigger only on 100% finished maps or check each of them after having changed the map.

Konny I think region IDs change when we shuffle the settlements in descr_regions.txt file and it has nothing to do with map_regions.tga.

Nope, the map_regions.tga is important, descr_regions hasn´t anything to do with the region-ID.
A region get his ID from the position on the map, and it count from the left top corner to the right bottom.

And because this, this is very important (what konny already says):

[Ishan]

Yeah i checked and konny is right.

[konny]

Oh yes, I learned this the very hard way: After implementing several hundred local titles with triggers based on region IDs, after some minor changes on province borders I suddenly had a Bishop of Valencia available in England, no bishop in Milan, and stuff like that.

Follows:
If somehow possible always use settlement names, even if that requires to make two or three triggers where region_IDs would have only required one. Use region_ID triggers only where the trigger urgently has to (also) fire outside the settlement in a certain province.

Check. Damn where is my pen and note book?
