Parameters

event:str

The name of the event, this should be written exactly how it's meant to appear on screen (correctly capitalized and spaces, not underscores)

camp:list[str]

The camps that this event can occur in

season:list[str]

The seasons that this event can occur in

tags:list[str]

Tags to help control certain behaviors (currently none)

affected_tags:list[str] (NEW)

Indicates the tags that must be present in a short event or patrol in order for them to allowed within possible event pools during the OngoingEvent

priority:str

Indicates if this event can trigger on it's own or if it depends upon a different OngoingEvent triggering it.

string
primary This event can trigger on it's own
secondary This even can only be triggered by a primary event
both This even can be triggered by a primary event or it can trigger on it's own

duration:int

The number of moons that this event should last

rarity:str

----CONSIDER CHANGING TO INT WEIGHT SYSTEM

chosen_events:list[str]

A list of event strings. When the event is determined to occur, a moon countdown will begin before the event actually happens to the Clan. Each moon, there will be a chance for a string to be chosen from this list and displayed as a moon event. These events are meant to forebode the OngoingEvent (i.e. an omen or prophecy about what will occur)

trigger_events:list[str]

A list of event strings. When the event occurs (ex. a wildfire burns through the forest), a string is chosen from this list to be used as the moon event.

progress_events:dict{list[str]}

A dict that holds the event strings for progress events. Each key holds the event strings for a specific progress trigger. This trigger can be the moons of the duration, or it could be other triggers within the game.

Disaster progress_events A dict that holds the event strings for each progressive moon of the OngoingEvent. Each key holds the event strings for that specific moon. Keys should start at "moon1" and increment accordingly. Keep in mind that the "moon1" events will occur on the moon AFTER the trigger_event moon. You should end up with 1 less progress_event moon than your event duration, this is because the trigger_event is considered the 1st moon ("moon0").

War progress_events A dict that holds the event strings for each clan relation change possibility. "rel_up" is event strings for the warring clan relation increasing. "neutral" is the event strings for the warring clan relation staying the same. "rel_down" is the event strings for the warring clan relation decreasing.

conclusion_events:list[str]

A list of event strings. When the event concludes, a string is chosen from this list to be displayed as a moon event.

secondary_event:list[dict{str, various}] NEED TO CHANGE NAME FROM DISASTER TO EVENT FOR GENERAL USE

A list of dictionaries holding information for secondary OngoingEvents triggered by this event.

            {
                "event": "",
                "triggers_during": "",
                "chance": 0,
                "trigger_events": []
            }

event:str: the name of the event triggered

triggers_during:list[str]: at what point during the parent OngoingEvent that this event is allowed to begin. "start", "during", "end"

chance:int: the chance of this event being triggered, lower numbers increase the chance of triggering

trigger_events:list[str]: list of event strings for trigger events. When a secondary event is triggered, an event string is chosen from this list to be displayed as a moon event.

collateral_damage:dict CURRENTLY UNUSED AND UNSURE OF BEST USE

use to indicate specific changes to the game mechanics as a result of this event

                "It sounds so strange, but their mud has changed color, back to being made of soil instead of soot! Still a pain to groom out of pelts though.",
                "The growth of the forest has never been so well celebrated by c_n, but after the devastation of the wildfire, the flush of green returning feels like victory."

            "It's so strange, to think of the wildfire as something now distant from them, to think of kits hearing about it in the nursery or elders discussing it as a tale from their youth. But that's what happens, isn't it? Life moves on."
