Religious Tug of War

[Carle]

I wnat to have several factions switch religions multiple times (theoretically infinite, but the chances tail off as the game progresses) based ons et criteria. I know how to alter the EDB to function with a religion change script, and I've picked apart the teutonic script, but I still can't figure out how to get the event to be offered multiple times.
My criteria are:

game stage- late game factions can't change as often, with very late game factions rarely changing religions

scaling repurcussions: the later you switch, the worse it will be, as in, more rebels, less conversion

turncoats- the more you switch, the greater the chance of war with former "brothers" and the smaller the chance of acceptance by your new compatriots, this also affects the chance of being offered the religion switch

plus all of the regular ones, i.e. losing the capital, war with other factions, neighbor religion, etc

I've seen those. I know how to change a faction's religion; I don't know how to allow a faction's religion to be changed multiple times.

Use the set_religion command multiple times . . .

Use the set_religion command multiple times . . .

I think Carle’s question is not how do you use the ‘set_religion’ and ‘change_population_religion’ commands, but rather how do you write a script which offers the player the ability to switch religion multiple times.

Carle: The first thing your script would need is a monitor event that happens frequently. A good example of this would be the ‘BecomesFactionLeader’ event. Assuming that you are going to have a yes/no event that allows the player to switch religion, in that case you will need to set the event counters back to 0. Do not use ‘terminate_monitor’ in the script.

Finally, you will want to add a counter to the script. That way you will be able to tell how many times the change of religion event has being offered to the player.
