Mission to Excommunicate

[princeps.omnis]

When a particular even occurs, I want the faction to be excommunicated. Now from what I gather excommunication is dealt with exclusively in descr_missions. So what I would do is to copy the papal gift mission and change the payback to excomm_only (since this is the closest to an excommunicate command).

Only how would I get this new mission to fire? In my mind, it would be a dummy mission that could never fire except when I scripted it to. However missions are referenced in only two places, descr_missions and desr_faction_standing, and in neither of these files is any indication given as to how or why missions fire.

So how does one make new missions occur, or is there some better way of forcing excommunication that I have missed?


And for those who say "just have the faction declare war on the pope," the thing is that this is a more severe version of excommunication, since it does not go away with the death of the pope or the faction leader. I want this to be a normal excommunication, like when you don't stop hostilities with a catholic faction.

Oh look, a bump.

Hey,

This will work only for the human payer.
You can script a mission with "create_mission mission_id faction %additional parameters%" (create_mission papal_build_church england London)

Hope this helps!
