A point in the right direction

[JaNuZ99]

Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this.

I wanted to create some settlement-specific traits to make one of the mods i have installed a little more immersive.

I have created the entries in the EDCT and corresponding VnV.text entries , but i'm at a loss for how to make the appropiate triggers to make said traits (if it's even possible)

could someone point me in the right direction? A tutorial of some kind maybe?

I have a rough and ready solution. Looking at the Ancillary Triggers we have this.

;------------------------------------------
Trigger trigger_patriarch_1
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition EndedInSettlement
          and RemainingMPPercentage = 100
          and Trait Christian >= 1
          and SettlementBuildingExists >= church_christianity_basilica
          and IsGeneral
          and SettlementBuildingExists >= monastary
          and FactionType empire_east
          and Trait Christian >= 1
          and not FactionwideAncillaryExists patriarch_1
          and SettlementName Alexandria
          and not Trait ChristianDisillusion >= 1

    AcquireAncillary patriarch_1 chance  16

Ergo the super easy shortcut. I'm not 100% sure if this trigger is applicable towards Traits bit it would be a PITA if it wasn't.

There is another way. Just create a unique building that is present in the settlement from the beginning of the game. And then run a trait trigger through that. IE

;------------------------------------------
Trigger zoroastrians_hermitage
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

    Condition Trait Zoroastrian >= 1
          and EndedInSettlement
          and RemainingMPPercentage = 100
          and SettlementBuildingExists >= hermitage: Replace with the newly created buildings name.

    Affects HatesChristianity  1  Chance  4 
    Affects ZoroastrianLoatheChristians  1  Chance  1 
    Affects ZoroastrianDisillusion  1  Chance  1

Thank you! I will try it out.

This looks really promising and coincidently with your example it just so happens that the traits i created are for a mod i installed set in the time of the Imperial roman empire. Though for the Western Empire.

I do hope the first solution works as it would be ideal considering i want my generals to acquire the new trait by ending their turn in a specific settlement

i.e. A general i want to make The Magister Equitum per Gallias will acquire the trait (and hence gain the rank,duty, and benefits) by staying at the historical HQ for said magister.

If not i will try out the second possibility. Though i hope do avoid tinkering with creating new buildings. The more i tinker the more chance i exp a CTD or an error that Id' have to fix (and thus the less time i actually spend playing).
