commenting the fleet command worked!
thanks again!

I see~ Tho I was more concerned about me not adding "AND" for the original triggers. I'll test it out later. For now, I guess it works as I want to for the post-game sandbox

ooh. Then don't mind it too much then. Since there's a workaround with rage mode, it's not really that big of an issue.

I see~ I'll try copying the block code from the main game folder and commenting the delete command.

thank you very much~

If that code works, it works, but it isn't written the way I would've done it (admittedly, it sometimes takes me a few tries to get something right). Make sure to check to make sure they work well throughout the rest of the game too! I guess 'owner' doesn't actually exist in the post-victory content, but 'from' still probably pulls the country correctly instead.

For the behemoths bombard, this is highly complex. I tried for a long time to have the behemoths bombard properly or actually use the 'eat planet' ability in the uncontrolled situation, but there were many things that were mutually exclusive. I can take another look at this, but it isn't trivial because of how bombardment and wars work.

You should be able to do this by editing the event that spawns the fleet - it likely sets a delayed event that is responsible for deleting the fleet. Removing this should stop the fleet expiration timer.

Ah... one more thing (sorry!)
Is there a way to remove the 6 month expiration on the Class IV behemoth's spawn fleet ability?

oh yeah. I forgot one last thing. Is there a way to let behemoths bombard inhabited planets? After Behemoth Victory Linger I mean. I can force behemoths to bombard planets with rage mode but I'm kinda hoping I can do it manually.

Thank you~ I actually managed to figure out some stuff myself. Well, I just copied the scripted_triggers folder from your other mod lol.

as for the Chrysalis hatching.

It made me lose my mind a bit because "owner = { is_country_type = behemoth_apex_mind }" wasn't working properly for me so I used your country_flag instead, and I used "From" instead of owner.


possible = {
OR = {
hidden_trigger = {
From = { has_country_flag = behemoth_became_apex }
}
custom_tooltip = {
fail_text = behemoth_cocoon_tt
exists = owner
owner = {
has_menace_perk = menp_behemoth_hatchling_2
}
}
}
}

managed to make it work but it might have some unforeseen circumstances so I wanted to check in with you about it.

thanks again for taking time to help me!

Hey! Just saw these. I've fixed the Eat Planet ability. =)

I didn't modify the layable egg - its behaviour is still vanilla. It shouldn't be too hard to make the normal growth work though on your end - try editing the 'possible' block on both 'behemoth_chrysalis_hatch' and 'behemoth_chrysalis_big_hatch' (both need to be changed since CII and CIII chrysalises are different structures entirely) to the following:

possible = {
custom_tooltip = {
fail_text = behemoth_cocoon_tt
OR = {
owner = {
is_country_type = behemoth_apex_mind
}
AND = {
exists = owner
owner = {
has_menace_perk = menp_behemoth_hatchling_2
}
}
}
}
}

oh and I still have no idea how to let the Behemoths use their Eat Planet Ability

I managed to stop the automatic growth. Now I'm trying to make the normal growth work with the new country type you added.

The Class IV behemoth can still lay eggs on any Gas Giant. And you can still somehow hatch said eggs manually.

But the Chrysalis is an issue. While I managed to let behemoths grow even outside borders by using "#".

The game is telling me I don't have the Menacing perk required to make the Behemoth evolve. So I tried giving the country_flag you made for the new country type as an OR condition with the normal menacing perk. And I know my empire has the flag, I checked with the console commands. But still no dice. Game doesn't recognize either my menace perk or the country flag. Can't hatch the Chrysalis.

How did you enable players to hatch the layable egg? If that's possible, hatching the Chrysalis should be possible too.

My mistake, that's apparently a vanilla feature... dangit

Man I'm enjoying just fking around as giant space kaiju while the other empires go on with their usual mundane politicking stuff. Just a question, did you add a script that lets behemoths grow by themselves? They just go missing in action and pop up somewhere on the next tier? Was hoping to eat and grow them more naturally.

Thank fking god.
Why does Paradox hate letting you have your victory lap so much?
