变量

Variables is a powerful system that we have added in 1.5.0. It enables content designers to store numbers ("values") in various places and use them in effects/triggers.

There are 4 scopes that you can store variables

• Country
• State
• Unit Leader
• Global

Every country, state and unit leader has its own variable list. Global scope is unique and should be used for storing variables that makes sense in a global sense, not something specific to a country.

Accessing Variables

In various effects/triggers, you will access a variable by giving it a name. Variable names are not case sensitive and other than a few special characters, you can use anything character you want. Although for consistency and future proof, avoid using numbers and special characters other than '_'

By default, you will access the variables in current scope. If you want to access a variable on a specific scope or a different you can use the following:

ENG.var_name
42.var_name
global.var_name
ROOT.var_name
FROM.FROM.var_name
event_target:event_target_name.var_name
global_event_target:event_target_name.var_name
another_var_name:var_name

• You can use a country's tag to access a variable in that country. First example access a variable on England.
• You can use a state's id to access a variable in that state. Second example for example will access to Moselland which has an id of 42
• You can access global variables by using global (3rd example)
• You can access a variable on different scope by using tokens like ROOT, PREV or FROM (4th) and you can chain them together (5th)
• You can access a variable on an event target by adding event_target:event_target_name before the variable (6th) or you can do * same for a global_event_target (7th)

Variables are set to 0 by default. When you access a variable that does not exist, you will get 0 instead. You can use following to make it default to some other value

var_name?123

When you access a variable like that, it will give you value '123' if var_name does not exist.

In the rest of the tutorials, I will use var_name to access an example variable named 'var_name' in current scope but you can use all other ways mentioned here to access variables in different scopes as well

Variable Effects

Here is a list of effects that you can use to alter value of a variable.

set_variable

set_variable = {
    var = var_name
    value = 123
}
set_variable = {
    var = var_name
    value = var_name_2
}

or short hand

set_variable = { var_name = var_name_2 }

set_variable is used for setting value of a variable to a number or another variable. First example sets var_name to 123, second one sets it to value of var_name_2. 3rd example is equivalent to 2nd one but it is shorter to write.

Every example that accepts var & value pair can be shortened.

One special thing about variables is you can use a value instead of a variable. This is how the first example works. In that example, 123 is actually a variable but its value is always 123 no matter what. This makes it possible to use a constant number in places that actually expects a variable.

But of course if you try something like:

set_variable = { 1 = 2 }

It will fail and give an error since assigning something to a value makes no sense.

clear_variable

clear_variable = var_name

This clears a variable completely. After clearing a variable, it will not exist to anymore and when you access it you will get 0 (unless it is overridden by ?)

add_to_variable

Includes subtract_from_variable, multiply_variable, divide_variable, modulo_variable.

These are all similar and works exactly like set_variable.

add_to_variable = {
    var = var_name
    value = 123
}
add_to_variable = {
    var = var_name
    value = var_name_2
}
or short hand
add_to_variable = { var_name = var_name_2 } 

Instead of setting var_name, these examples will add the value to it instead. You can replace add_to_variable token with other effects to use those operations instead.

clamp_variable

clamp_variable = {
    var = var_name
    min = var_name_2
    max = var_name_3
}

clamp_variable can be used to clamp a variable between other two variables (or values). In this example if var_name < var_name_2 it will be set to var_name 2. If it is > var_name_3 it will be set to var_name_3. Otherwise its value will remain same.

round_variable

round_variable = var_name

This will round a variable to nearest integer.

Variable Triggers

There are only two triggers related to variables.

check_variable

check_variable will compare two variables/values with each other with a specified operator and uses it as a trigger.

check_variable = {
    var = var_name
    value = var_name_2
    compare = less_than
}

This example compares var_name to var_name_2 and returns true of var_name is less than var_name_2.

Available compare tokens:

• less_than
• less_than_or_equals
• greater_than
• greater_than_or_equals
• equals
• not_equals

You can omit compare token if you want, in this case it will default to greater_than_or_equals

Short syntax can be used:

check_variable = { var_name = var_name_2 }
check_variable = { var_name < var_name_2 }
check_variable = { var_name > var_name_2 }

First one will compare for equals, second one is for less_than and third one is for greater_than. There is no way to use other comparison methods in this way (ie >= won't work)

has_variable

has_variable = var_name

This will check if a variable exist for a scope. clear_variable effect will erase a variable completely so has_variable will return false after that.

Targeted Variables

You can define a variable that is targeted at some other scope. Here is an example usage

ENG = {
  TUR = {
    set_variable = { var_name@PREV = 5 }
  }
}

Here first we set scope to ENG and then to TUR. When we call set_variable, it will set a variable named var_name on TUR targeted towards PREV scope (which is ENG).

You can chain scopes (var_name@PREV.PREV) or use country tags/state IDs as well (var_name@ENG for example would behave same in previous example, an example for states would be var_name@42).

You can only target states or countries (no unit leaders).

Using variables like event targets

Variables can replace event targets up to a point. Instead of storing a value, you can store a country TAG or state id in variables and use them later in a similar way. Example:

set_variable = { var_name = POL.id }
var:var_name = {
    set_variable = { var_name_2 = 125 }
}

This example will create a var_name variable in current scope and set it to id of POL (a unique number represents POL). After that you can switch scope to POL using this variable like we did in the example. The example here will set a variable named var_name_2 to 125 in Poland scope.

You can set a variable to a country TAG like we did in example. You can also use scopes like PREV/FROM/ROOT or chain them together. To set something to current scope, use THIS instead. If you want to set a variable to a specific state scope, you can use set_variable = { var_name = 42.id} (which is basically id on 42 scope)

You can only set a variable to a country or a state scope (no unit leader scope, they are like a bastard child of this system)

Variables and Scripted Localization

You can access a variable in scripted using the following in the string:

[?var_name]

Will print the value of var_name in scope of scripted localization.

Temporary Variables

Temporary variables is a 'feature' (read hack) that lets you store variables that will be stored temporarily and will be deleted after the script ends. You can use those to make a calculations without , lets say you want to calculate following equation:

c = a * 2 - b / 3

Here is how you can do it without creating additional variables anywhere:

set_temp_variable = { temp1 = a }
multiply_temp_variable = { temp1 = 2 }

set_temp_variable = { temp2 = b }
divide_temp_variable = { temp2 = 3 }

subtract_from_temp_variable = { temp1 = temp2 }

set_variable = { c = temp1 }

These are the effects relating to temporary variables:

• set_temp_variable
• add_to_temp_variable
• subtract_from_temp_variable
• multiply_temp_variable
• divide_temp_variable
• modulo_temp_variable
• round_temp_variable
• clamp_temp_variable

In previous example, the last line sets c to temp1. If you already had an actual variable named temp1 in current scope, it will be shadowed by temp variable. So try to use unique names for your temp variables or otherwise it will be weird.

One cool about temp variables is that you can use them in triggers. Since their effects are only temporary and does not affect game play, they should be safe to use. For example in previous example we could calculate a * 2 - b / 3 same way and check if it is greater than 0 using using check_variable trigger.

Also in a couple part of the programs, temporary variables are not cleared between triggers and effects. For example temporary variables stays same for is_valid trigger of an event and their effects. So you can calculate something in trigger, then use it on effect. This is kinda weird but it has uses.

Random Variables

You can use a variable named 'random' to get a random variable:

set_variable = { var_name = random }

Will set var_name to a value between 0 and 1. You can use it on triggers as well but it will give you same variable.

There are also a couple more types of randomization distributions: uniform, binomial and poisson distribution. The first type is almost identical to the default distribution, except that when using it, you can select the minimum and maximum values of the variable. Example:

randomize_temp_variable = {
  var = num_dogs
  distribution = uniform
  min = 0
  max = 1
}

The second type can take the minimum and maximum values as the previous one, but in contrast to the previous one is more likely to take an average value, note: N=2. Example:

randomize_temp_variable = {
  var = num_dogs
  distribution = binomial
  min = 0  # optional
  max = 10 # required if min is specified
}

The last distribution uses the lambda value to randomize the variable. When using this type of distribution, the difference between the maximum and average values of the variable decreases as the lambda value increases. Unlike the previous ones, it can only set the minimum value of a variable. Example:

randomize_temp_variable = {
  var = num_dogs
  distribution = poisson
  lambda = 10  # required
  min = 10     # optional
}

For AI triggers (like ai_will_do modifiers), use ai_random instead.

Game Variables

Game variables are a special read only variables. You can read them like regular variables but they are actually calculated dynamically. For example in countries you can access political power of a country and use it as a variable:

set_variable = { var_name = political_power }

Here political_power is actually a game variable and it gives you political power that a country has. You can not edit them though, you have to use effects for those.

Some of them are automatically converted from triggers (basically any triggers that accepts country/state/unit leader/global scope and works like max_manpower = 10 can be used as game variable) but some of them are unique to modifier system.

Do not use name of game variables in your variables.

hoi4 scripting language supports storing tokens as a variable. For example you can do the following:

set_temp_variable = { t = token:infantry_equipment }

add_equipment_to_stockpile = {
	type = var:t
	amount = 100
}

Here you are storing token infantry_equipment in a temporary variable named t and later we are using this stored token in add_equipment_to_stockpile effect.

At the moment following objects can be stored in variables and all effects/triggers should be able to accept such variables.

ideology/ideology groups
equipment types
operation

Debugging

There are various console commands to debug variables.

All this console command uses selection as a scope. If you select a state (left click a state) it will scope to that. If you select a country (right click a state) it will scope to that country. If you select an army with a leader assigned it will scope to the leader. If nothing is selected, it will scope to player country.

set_var var_name 1
get_var var_name
list_vars
list_vars TUR

First one sets a variable to a value, second one gets result of a variable. 3rd and 4th one lists variables in the scope

There is also print_variables effect/trigger that lets you print every variable (temp or regular) to a file

print_variables = {
    file = log_file
    text = header_text
    append = yes
    print_global = yes
    var_list = { a b c } #optional
}
