Change Ideology - KonradHeinser/EBSGFramework GitHub Wiki

This ability comp allows you to convert the ideology of the target into the caster's or the primary ideology of a specified FactionDef:

        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.CompProperties_AbilityChangeIdeology">
            </li>
        </comps>

These are the options available in the comp:

• certainty : Default (1~1) : The range to set the new ideology certainty. If set to 0, then certainty is not changed from what the pawn had before conversion
  • Due to how certainty is handled in the code, the pawn's certainty may not reach the exact value picked but will instead go for a middle point between the initial and the target
• factionOfIdeo : A FactionDef to pull the ideology from. This may have unexpected results if the faction in question does not have a primary ideology
• successChance : A special item that dictates the chance of success. If you don't add this to the comp, then it will always work
  • baseSuccessChance : Default (1) : Chance of the ability to succeed, with 1 being 100%
  • casterStatChance : StatDef of the caster that is checked to determine success chance. Normally the higher above 0 this is, the higher the chance of success
  • casterStatEffect : Default (Multiply) : Dictates what the stat does to the chance. The options are Multiply, Divide, OneMinusMultiply, and OneMinusDivide. The OneMinus options mean 1 - Stat Value
  • targetStatChance : StatDef of the target that is checked to determine success chance. Normally the higher above 0 this is, the lower the chance of success
  • targetStatEffect : Default (Divide) : Dictates what the stat does to the chance. The options are Multiply, Divide, OneMinusMultiply, and OneMinusDivide. The OneMinus options mean 1 - Stat Value
  • successMessage : Optional. Message given if this comp succeeds and the caster is a player pawn
  • failureMessage : Optional. Message given if this comp fails and the caster is a player pawn

This example converts the pawn into the caster's ideology:

    <AbilityDef>
        <defName>InstantConversion</defName>
        <label>test ability</label>
        <description>.</description>
        <iconPath>Things/Mote/SpeechSymbols/Speech</iconPath>
        <cooldownTicksRange>60</cooldownTicksRange>
        <hostile>false</hostile>
        <verbProperties>
            <verbClass>Verb_CastAbility</verbClass>
            <range>30</range>
            <warmupTime>0.5</warmupTime>
            <requireLineOfSight>False</requireLineOfSight>
        </verbProperties>
        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.CompProperties_AbilityChangeIdeology" />
        </comps>
    </AbilityDef>

This example converts the pawn into the ideology that the ancients faction is using at around 50% certainty:

    <AbilityDef>
        <defName>ForTheAncients</defName>
        <label>for the ancients!</label>
        <description>.</description>
        <iconPath>Things/Mote/SpeechSymbols/Speech</iconPath>
        <cooldownTicksRange>60</cooldownTicksRange>
        <hostile>false</hostile>
        <verbProperties>
            <verbClass>Verb_CastAbility</verbClass>
            <range>30</range>
            <warmupTime>0.5</warmupTime>
            <requireLineOfSight>False</requireLineOfSight>
        </verbProperties>
        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.CompProperties_AbilityChangeIdeology">
                <factionOfIdeo>Ancients</factionOfIdeo>
                <certainty>0.5</certainty>
            </li>
        </comps>
    </AbilityDef>
