View source for Effect

{{Version|1.12}}

Effects (also known as Commands) are used in order to affect the game dynamically from within a specific scope. They are a one-time change to the current condition of the game, '''without the ability to have a lasting effect'''. Instead, [[modifiers]] are used to have a continuous, everlasting effect on the game's condition that can be represented with a number. Effect blocks cannot be used to apply modifiers directly, however they can add something that can apply modifiers, most commonly with [[#add_ideas|add_ideas]].

Effects are used throughout the game in numerous scopes, most commonly [[National Focus modding|National focuses]], [[Event modding|Events]] and [[Decision modding|Decisions]].

Note that certain effects may take a value from a variable, i.e. <code>add_manpower = var:my_var</code> This is noted by '''<variable>''' in an effect's parameters. See [[Variables|Variables]] for information on the variable effects.

The list of effects may be outdated. A complete, but unsorted, list of effects can be found in {{path|documentation/effects_documentation.html}} or {{path|documentation/effects_documentation.md}}.

==Scopes==
{{Main|Scopes}}
These don't serve as effects, but rather as scopes that change for whom the effects are being executed.
===Effect scopes===
{{#lsth:Scopes|Effect scopes}}
===Dual scopes===
{{#lsth:Scopes|Dual scopes}}

==Any scope==

Can be used in '''country''', '''state''' or '''character''' scopes.

|1.9
|}

==Flow control==

These scopes are used within effect scopes to control the execution of effects.
===If statements===
An [[wp:Conditional_(computer_programming)#If–then(–else)|if statement]] allows an execution of effects to only be done if certain [[triggers]] are met. This is done with the <code>if = { ... }</code> block. This serves as an effect block with an additional <code>limit = { ... }</code> argument, which is a [[triggers#AND|trigger block]] where each trigger must be met for the scope being checked.

For example, the following will add 10% {{icon|stability|1}} to the country this is executed on if it has positive {{icon|political power|1}} and below 90% stability:
<pre>if = {
    limit = {
        has_political_power > 0
        stability < 0.9
    }
    add_stability = 0.1
}</pre>
If the limit is not met, then none of the effects inside will be executed. If it is, then each one will be. If the limit is omitted, it defaults to being always true.<br/>

Optionally, <code>else_if = { ... }</code> (with <code>limit = { ... }</code> serving in a similar fashion) and <code>else = { ... }</code> can be added. If the initial limit within <code>if = { ... }</code> is false, it moves on to the next <code>else_if = { ... }</code>, checking the limit there. If the limit there is false, then it moves on to the next one, until hitting an end or an <code>else = { ... }</code>.<br/>
Two variants exist: nested and unnested. In the first case, the <code>else_if</code> or <code>else</code> is put directly inside of the preceding <code>if</code> or <code>else_if</code>, while in the second case it's put ''right after''. In case of overlap, unnested if statements are preferred. Here is an example using unnested if statements:
<pre>if = {
    limit = {
        stability < 0.3 # If stability is below 30%, add 30%.
    }
    add_stability = 0.3
}
else_if = {
    limit = {
        stability < 0.6 # Otherwise, if it's below 60% (i.e. 30-59%), add 20%
    }
    add_stability = 0.2
}
else = {
    add_stability = 0.1 # If there's 60-100% stability, add 10%
}
</pre>

Within the tooltip, only effects that would be executed are shown. The effects within an unfulfilled if statement (or an <code>else</code>/<code>else_if</code> that's not read due to the if statement being met) will be hidden from the player, and so will the trigger. In order to avoid player confusion, [[#Effect tooltips|custom effect tooltips can be used to tell the player what this effect block would do]], such as being used within an <code>else</code>.

===Random effects===

If you want an effect to have a random chance to be done or have nothing happen otherwise, the <code>random = { ... }</code> block is the simplest way to accomplish that:
<pre>random = {
    chance = 80
    add_stability = 0.4
    add_war_support = 0.3
}</pre>
This in particular will have an 80% chance to add 40% stability and 30% war support and, accordingly, a 20% chance to do nothing. The chance here is on the scale from 0 to 100.

If you want the game to choose between effect blocks, random_list can be used instead. For example, if you wanted an effect to randomly given the player one out of four bonuses, you'd do the following:
<pre>random_list = {
    10 = {
        add_stability = 0.5
    }
    10 = {
        add_manpower = 10000
    }
    10 = {
        add_war_support = 0.5
    }
    10 = {
        army_experience = 100
    }
}
</pre>The number is not the chance, but the weight for each option, as they don't have to add up to 100 or any number. An option with the weight of 20 is twice as likely to be picked as the option with the chance of 10, for instance. In total, the probability for an option to be picked is equal to the weight of the option divided by the sum of all weights.

It is also possible to use modifiers (akin to [[MTTH|MTTH blocks]]) to affect the weight of each possible random effect or to use [[variables]] as chances.
<pre>random_list = {
    30 = {
        modifier = {
            factor = 1.3
            has_country_flag = inward_perfect_flag
        }
        add_stability = 0.5
    }
    25 = {
        add_manpower = 10000
    }
    20 = {
        add_war_support = 0.5
    }
    my_variable = { # Taking "my_variable" as the variable's name, both "var:my_variable" and "my_variable" are valid options, left up to the developer's preference.
        army_experience = 100
    }
}
</pre>
If the country flag inward_perfect_flag is set, it'll multiply the above chance of 30 by 1.3 to get 39. Meanwhile, <code>my_variable</code> will take the value of the according temp variable or the current scope's variable as the weight of the option.

Note that if you want to create a repeatable decision including a random list, by default the same decision will pick the same random result every time it is triggered in a game. You can reverse this behaviour by including the following line in the decision block:
<pre>fixed_random_seed = no
</pre>
'''This is only for decisions'''. Elsewhere, random seed is unfixed by default, making this argument unnecessary to set to "no".<br/>

{{Anchor|Effect tooltip}}
{{Anchor|Effect tooltips}}
{{Anchor|Hidden effect}}
The "tooltip" in this case refers to the text shown to the player in-game that explains what the effect block changes within the game, such as "{{green|+50}} {{icon|political power|1}}".

There are 3 ways to edit the tooltip within an effect block:
* <code>hidden_effect = { ... }</code> is used in order to hide the effects within, making their execution not get shown to the player.
* <code>effect_tooltip = { ... }</code> is, instead, used in order to put the effects into the tooltip without actually executing them.
* <code>custom_effect_tooltip = my_localisation_key</code> is used in order to put an arbitrary paragraph of text as an effect that will get executed.

For example, this sample [[National focus modding|focus' completion reward]] utilises all three:
<pre>completion_reward = { 
    hidden_effect = {
        every_subject_country = { country_event = my_event.1 }
    }
    custom_effect_tooltip = send_event_to_subjects_tt
    effect_tooltip = {
        add_political_power = 100
    }
    custom_effect_tooltip = reject_war_tt
}</pre>
In this case, send_event_to_subjects_tt and reject_war_tt are localisation keys defined within any {{path|localisation/english/*_l_english.yml}} file encoded with UTF-8-BOM, assuming the English language.
<pre>
 send_event_to_subjects_tt: "Sends a demand to our every subject.\nIf they agree, we get the following for each subject:"
 reject_war_tt: "If they reject the demand, we gain a wargoal against them."
</pre>
In-game, this will appear as such:
{| class="eu4box-inline" style="padding: 1px;"
|-
| <div style="color:#CE9810">Effect:</div>
Sends a demand to our every subject.<br/>
If they agree, we get the following for each subject:<br/>
Political Power: {{Green|+100}}<br/>
If they reject the demand, we gain a wargoal against them.
|}

Noticably, the effect that fires the country event gets hidden from the tooltip. After completing the focus, the only thing that happens is that every subject country receives an event with the ID of <code>my_event.1</code>, the country does not immediately gain 100 political power.

==Meta effects==

Meta effects allow you to use non-dynamic effects (the ones that do not accept modifiers and can only use static tokens or constant values) as if they were accepting variables.

<pre>add_equipment_to_stockpile = {
    type = infantry_equipment_2
    amount = eq_amount
}
</pre>

In the effect shown above, amount of equipment added is dynamic and can be set using the variable "eq_amount". However, this effect does not let you use a variable as equipment type. You can not store "infantry_equipment_2" in a variable and use it here.

However, meta effects will let you use variables and scripted localization within them to build effects as if they were texts and run them. Let's make previous effect accept equipment type and equipment level as variables stored in "eq_type" and "eq_level".

<pre>set_variable = { eq_type = 1 } # Sets the equipment type to "1", which determines the equipment given using scripted localisation, included below
set_variable = { eq_amount = 10 } # Sets the amount of equipment given to 10
set_variable = { eq_level = 2 } # Sets the equipment level to 2, which is used directly in the meta effect, no scripted localisation required

meta_effect = { # The actual meta effect. This can go anywhere you need it: in a decision, in a scripted effect, in a scripted GUI click effect, etc...
    text = {
        add_equipment_to_stockpile = {
            type = [EQ_TYPE]_[EQ_LEVEL]
            amount = eq_amount
        }
    }
    EQ_LEVEL = "[?eq_level|.0]" # Gets the "eq_level" variable and saves it as "EQ_LEVEL" for the meta effect to use
    EQ_TYPE = "[This.GetEquipmentName]" # Gets the equipment type from scripted localisation, included below, based on the "eq_type" variable, and saves it as "EQ_TYPE" for the meta effect to use
}
</pre>

<pre>
# The scripted localization for the "eq_type" variable, which goes in a scripted localisation file
defined_text = { # Since the "eq_type" variable in this example is equal to 1, the equipment given by the effect is "artillery_equipment"
    name = GetEquipmentName
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { eq_type = 0 }
        }
        localization_key = "infantry_equipment"
    }
    text = {
        trigger = {
            check_variable = { eq_type = 1 }
        }
        localization_key = "artillery_equipment"
    }
}
</pre>

As you can see, we have created a meta_effect that takes two arguments. These arguments will be used replacing the parameters [EQ_TYPE] and [EQ_LEVEL] inside the meta effect. EQ_LEVEL will be replaced by [?eq_level|.0] which is the integer value of eq_level (in this case 2.000 becomes 2). EQ_TYPE is a bit more complicated, it is being replaced by a scripted localization. This scripted localization will check eq_type variable and depending on its value it will return the key token for the equipment. If it is 0, it will return "infantry_equipment". If it is 1, it will return "artillery_equipment".

So the final result is [EQ_TYPE] is being replaced by "artillery_equipment" and [EQ_LEVEL] is being replaced by "2" and in the end our effect will be built as:

<pre>add_equipment_to_stockpile = {
    type = artillery_equipment_2
    amount = eq_amount
}
</pre>

which will give you 10 artillery_equipment_2.

debug = yes can be added to meta effects. Which will print the final effect to game.log when the effect is executed and make debugging easier.
==Scripted effects==
Scripted effects serve a similar purpose to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subroutine functions] in that they can be defined in {{path|common/scripted_effects/*.txt}} and then used elsewhere as a shortened version. Alongside that, the game allows the creation of custom console commands, which are scripted effects.

A scripted effect is defined simply as <pre>scripted_effect_name = {
	<effects>
}</pre>This example can be used as an effect in regular code as <code>scripted_effect_name = yes</code>.

Scripted effects can be accessed in console by typing <code>e scripted_effect_name</code> to run them.

To create a custom console command, the scripted effect's name should begin with <code>d_</code>. The console command itself does not include <code>d_</code>, so <code>d_test_command</code> would be run in console as <code>test_command</code><br/>
In custom console commands, the country running the command is FROM, while ROOT is the selected country, state, or character. Anything entered after the console command, separated by spaces like <code>test_command 123 321 GER</code> is added to the 'args' temp [[Arrays|array]]. An example of a scripted effect which will transfer every state entered as an argument to the country that runs the console command is
<pre>d_transfer_states = {
	for_each_scope_loop = {
		array = args
		FROM = {
			transfer_state = PREV
		}
	}
}</pre>used like <code>transfer_states 123 321</code>
