Triggers are used in order to execute commands of effects only when certain conditions are true. The command will be executed within a specific scope.

Operators[edit | edit source]

Operators are used to combine several conditions. In most cases the AND operator is the default.

Operator Description Example
AND Returns true if all enclosed conditions return true 
AND = {
    adm_power = 10
    dip_power = 10
}
OR Returns true if at least one enclosed condition returns true 
OR = {
    adm_power = 10
    dip_power = 10
}
NOT Returns true if none of the enclosed condition returns true 
NOT = {
    adm_power = 10
    dip_power = 10
}

Simple triggers[edit | edit source]

Simple triggers can be used inside its scope in the following way: 

<trigger> = <X>
  • Boolean triggers can be checked against yes/no
  • Integer triggers can be checked against an integer value (...-1,0,5...)
  • Float triggers can be checked against a floating point or integer value (...0.25, 1.6, 2...)
  • Tag triggers can be checked against a country tag (ENG, PRU, ...)
  • ID triggers can be checked against a province id
  • Date triggers can be checked against a date value (1444.11.11, 1745.11.03, ...)
  • Identifier triggers can be checked against an appropriate identifier

Please help with verifying or updating this section. It was last verified for version 1.32.

Base scopes represent a single country tag or province ID, and can be used in most triggers too. For value/identifier triggers, the game will compare with the base scope's value/identifier for the same trigger.

Value Scopes Description
ROOT anywhere Refers to the receiver of an event, decision, mission, etc.
FROM anywhere Refers to the sender/target of an event, decision, mission, etc.

Scripted triggers[edit | edit source]

Ambox outdated info.png
Please help with verifying or updating this section. It was last verified for version 1.32.

To script triggers means to bundle two or more of them together, making it possible to use them together with a single string, as opposed to typing them all individually every time. This is useful if you need to use the same triggers on multiple occasions, especially if it might be edited later. Scripted triggers are in "common/scripted_triggers" folder. Here is an example of a scripted trigger: 

example_scripted_trigger = {
	primary_culture = irish
	religion = catholic
}

To now check whether a country has Irish as its primary culture and is Catholic, the following string can be used: 

example_scripted_trigger = yes

Province-scope scripted triggers can also be added.

As of Version 1.23 it is possible to add arguments to scripted triggers: 

is_subject_of_scripted_trigger = {
	is_subject_of = $overlord$
	is_subject_of_type = $subject_type$
}

In a trigger section you can now use the scripted trigger and set overlord and subject_type to matching values/types: 

is_subject_of_scripted_trigger = {
	overlord = FRA
	subject_type = tributary_state
}

The arguments can be chosen freely and there is no maximum amount of arguments that a scripted trigger can have. Every call to the scripted effect must supply exactly the arguments it expects.
