It is important to understand the triggers within NOT must all be true for NOT to work and become false. NOT allows a group of triggers within it to be used in reverse, essentially excluding countries where all conditions within it are met. If any of the triggers mentioned within the brackets are true, then OR is considered true. OR can be used instead of a single trigger, to group triggers together.

AND is mostly useless, because most places except the OR operator below and the focus bypass keyword already allow mentioning multiple triggers that all must be true to continue. Any effects inside the brackets will only be executed if the triggers within the limit operator (see above) are met within it.Ĭan only be used right after IF is used, If the conditions within the LIMIT of IF aren't met, then ELSE applies.Īlthough not used often, AND can be used instead of a single trigger to group triggers together, so that all of triggers mentioned within it must be true. When a list of effects can be written, all those that are between the brackets will not be shown within the focus, event option and etc. If limit is used as part of a list of effects, the effects (outside the limit) will only happen if all triggers within the limit are met. Some operators allow limits to be placed within them. Even though all modifiers are numbers, most modifiers cannot be used with these operators as part of triggers, which is an oversight by Paradox.ĭefines that something is true and enabled.ĭefines that something is false and disabled. Mostly used as part of triggers, these operators are used to compare numbers. The object is defined between the curly brackets. This operator is used to define an object as part of another. Ironically, the equals sign does not set any values, but adds any value behind it to any already existing or default modifiers or compares two different values as part of triggers. The operators are a special list of characters and keywords that are used in many placed to represent certain arithmatic ideas.
