条件

Conditions (also known as triggers) are used to specify when the execution of effects occurs. When a trigger returns true, then the execution will continue, otherwise it stops. Several triggers, including the default AND-trigger, allow nesting to create more complex expression.

Any scope

These triggers do not require any particular scope.

Name	Parameters	Examples	Description	Notes	Version Added
always	<bool> Boolean.	always = yes	Always returns true or false. Useful for debugging.		1.0
AND	triggers	AND = { original_tag = GER has_stability > 0.5 }	Returns false if any sub-trigger returns false, true otherwise. Evaluation stops at the first false sub-trigger.	Virtually all places that expect a trigger use an implicit AND-trigger.	1.0
OR	triggers	OR = { original_tag = ENG original_tag = USA }	Returns true if any sub-trigger returns true, false otherwise. Evaluation stops at the first true sub-trigger.		1.0
NOT	triggers	NOT = { has_stability > 0.5 has_war_support > 0.5 }	Returns false if any sub-trigger returns true, true otherwise. Evaluation stops at the first true sub-trigger.		1.0

Optional. triggers	if = { limit = { has_dlc = "Poland: United and Ready" } has_political_power > 100 else = { has_war_support > 0.5 } }	If limit is true, the sub-triggers are evaluated like an AND-trigger.

Otherwise true is returned.	else_if and else can also follow directly after the if trigger, instead of being nested.	1.0

Variables

Can be used in country, state or unit leader scopes.

Name	Parameters	Examples	Description	Notes	Version Added
has_variable	<variable> The variable to check.	has_variable = my_var	Checks if the specified variables exists for the current scope.		1.5
check_variable	var = <variable> The variable to check. value = <float> / <variable> The value to check for. compare = <type> The type of comparison. Optional, can use < or > instead.	check_variable = { var = my_var value = 10 compare = greater_than_or_equals } check_variable = { my_var > 10 }	Check the specified variable for the current scope.	Possible compare types: less_than less_than_or_equals greater_than greater_than_or_equals equals not_equals	1.5
print_variables	print_global = <bool> Print global variables. Defaults to no. var_list = <list> The variables to print. Defaults to all variables. file = <string>The file path to log to. Defaults to "variable_dump". text = <string>Text to prepend. Defaults to "No Header". append = <bool>Whether to append to the file instead of overwrite. Defaults to yes	print_variables = { var_list = { myvar1 myvar2 } file = "my_dump_file" text = "my header" }	Dumps the specified variables from the current scope and optionally the global scope into logs/variable_dumps/<file>.log. Evaluates to true.	See Variables#Debugging

Remember that variables need to refer to the scope they were set in. This means you can't check a country variable in a state scope without scoping the variable.

For example, to get the country variable whilst in a state scope, you'd do the following:

<country> = {
    <state> = {
        limit = {
            check_variable = { from.my_country_var > 0.0 }
        }
    }
}

See Variables for more information.

Operators

There are two extra operators for triggers, > (greater than) and < (less than).

They are used for numerical or date triggers, and provide an exclusive check for their value. This means a trigger using them will return true if the result is any number below (or above).

Note that equals in Hearts of Iron 4 only checks for exact equality, i.e. x = y, whereas in previous games it checks for equals or greater than, i.e. x >= y.

Context scopes

There are three general scopes all triggers operate in:

• country
• state
• unit leader

They give context to a trigger by stating what the trigger is checking against.

Each country acts as a sub-scope of the general country scope, i.e. GER = { } will check only against Germany, whereas any_country will check against all countries. Likewise for states and unit leaders.

The important lesson here is that triggers for one type of scope will not work in the other scopes generally (there are exceptions).
