Hello, I'm playing Poland, and I want to make own faction with Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Baltic States, but when I'm going to a diplomatic menu with these countries option 'Create Faction' is locked because I need a national spirit. And there is a problem, which national spirit? When I checked all of these no any national spirit allowed me to create factions, there was only one to create a faction with Baltic States, but I went the wrong branch of my political national spirits. I don't know how to do it completely. I hope that someone will help me.

Flow Control[edit]

These scopes are used within effect scopes to control the execution of effects.

If, Else If and Else[edit]

These scopes allow effects to be conditionalized, so they only occur when the requisite triggers are met.

For example, if you only have an effect to occur for Germany, you'd do the following:

If you then wanted England to have a similar effect, and everyone else to have something else, you do the following:

As you can see, this allows for flexibility in how effects occur and cuts down on duplication.

Hidden Effect[edit]

This scope hides the presence of the effects within it in the player's tooltip. This is used to execute effects without the player seeing them. For example, you may want to manipulate some variables in an event. Showing them to the player may confuse them, so it is best to hide the effects within an hidden effect scope, like so:

Random List[edit]

This scope allows the creation of a random selection of effects. For example, if you wanted an effect to randomly given the player one out of four bonuses, you'd do the following:

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:

It is also possible to use modifiers to affect the weight of each possible random effect.

The above code would multiply the 25 by the factor thereby making it more or less likely to occur if the trigger condition is fulfilled.

Effect Tooltip[edit]

This scope will display the tooltip information of the effects within, without actually executing the effects. This is useful when you want to show what the effect may look like to the player. Here is an example:
