End Boss [3.10.*]

if this is ever updated it might be nice if it were able to increase deep space citadel's per system

This may need an update when 4.0 comes out (maybe it can provide bonus's to the new trade system).

fyi regarding "trigger:distance_to_empire is propper than trigger:distance": The mod is far older than these triggers and I updated it, when they were first available. At that time trigger:distance_to_empire just didn't work, thats the reasoning. I wonder, if it works now, but I certainly won't test it ;)

Yea, nothing game breaking, only nerdy optimisation attempts 🤓 However nice mod ... now 👍

Good spot for the on_action, it's interesting how calling an event from a country scope on_action "just works" (nothing in the log too).

The scripted effects make the code far cleaner though, so I'm not sure if I want to remove them. :P
Haven't experienced any slow caused by scripted effects (and you must know what I did with them lol), but I'm gonna trust you on this one (during game or only during game load though?).

Gonna check that trigger, but it looks quite similar. However, if a country has more than one system, it could lead to a shorter distance than checking for the distance between the capitals. Unlikely scenario I know, but advanced starts do exist

on_mid_game_pulse in case the mod is installed in a multiplayer game on an existing save game? Or is there other benefits? Or do you mean "add a second endboss" (bit out of scope, but I could add a mod menu to configure it I guess)

Gonna add the fixes this weekend probably, they are not gamebreaking from my tests

Also maybe trigger:distance_to_empire is propper than trigger:distance

Nice, but I would really not add new scripted effects only for one usage. Every new scripted effect slows down everything a tiny bit (unnecessary, constantly and steady exponentially).
One mistake I spotted 'on_game_start_country' should be 'on_game_start'.

I would suggest this additional event on 'on_mid_game_pulse'.
PS: I adapted this idea in AllThatIsGrimdark.

Updated to 3.10.*
Small fixes to the modifier (pop assembly bonus didn't work) and added some fallback script in case no country in the game was eligible to become the endboss (if they were all pacifists for example).
Also optimized the script as suggested by FirePrince :)

Should work fine in 3.10. Small issue is pop assembly bonus not working (it got renamed). And as FirePrince said, it's not the most optimized, but that's not an issue (it only runs once on game start, so no performance problem once you play).

If you read this Persepheus, I got a local update you might be interested in (performance, variable and log cleanup, pop assembly fix, update to work on an existing save). I'm "Erdnuss" on the Modding Den.

Just a small hint (from modder to modder coding wise). I mean this mod is a good example how to use effect loops wrong. Instead of scanning hundreds or thousands of galaxy planet twice you should only scan each playable country (and probably clear the var afterwards).
