Trait Affect Chance

[TMK]

I was wondering, just to make sure, if the affect chance is 1 to 100 does it mean 1 in 100 chance of the character getting the trait or does it mean 100% chance of the character getting the trait?

It's the Percentage that is always a whole number (i.e. no decimals, no fractions, etc) between 1 and 100.

So when it says chance 3 it means 3% chance every turn that the character will get the trait?

No quite not, it means, if the conditions are fulfiled, there is a 3% chance that the character can gain the trait(s).

example :

;------------------------------------------
Trigger sitting_around_town_with_taverns
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

    Condition EndedInSettlement
          and RemainingMPPercentage = 100
          and SettlementBuildingExists >= brothel

    Affects Drink  1  Chance  5 
    Affects Gambling  1  Chance  2 
    Affects Girls  1  Chance  3 

;------------------------------------------

Read this :
-when the turn end (TurnEnd), the character (Character)
-if ended in setllement (EndedInSettlement), and didn't move during the turn (RemainingMPPercentage = 100), and a brothel or a superior building exist (SettlementBuildingExists >= brothel)
-then there a 5 % chance he get 1 point in the drink trait, 2% in gambling and 3% in girls.

It also can be quite different from just end turn :

;------------------------------------------
Trigger V0010_Standard_Battle_Attacker_Crushing_Victory_VnV_Trigger
    WhenToTest PostBattle

    Condition WasAttacker
          and IsGeneral
          and WonBattle
          and BattleSuccess = crushing
          and I_ConflictType Normal
          and BattleOdds >= 0.5
          and BattleOdds < 1.5

    Affects GoodAttacker  2  Chance  100 
    Affects TacticalSkill  1  Chance  10
;------------------------------------------

Here, the game "test" the condition after every battle (WhenToTest PostBattle), if all conditions are fulfiled, then he character gain 2 points in Good attacker and have 10% chance to have the a point in tactical skill.
