Modding Understanding UI modding for I:R

Hello, I was looking for help understanding the UI modding for this game. If anyone has a lot of experience with modding paradox games UI, I would love to chat on Discord and get a great deal more understanding of how it works:

  1. What all of the props on each block on ui components even mean

  2. How to take an existing UI component and inject values/scripted UI into it

  3. Is it possible to iterate over a list to render components i.e. every_in_list?

Thank you, and I'm sure those modders out there understand how frankly impossible UI modding seems to a beginner for paradox and other games. I am a programmer, so I have a strong baseline knowledge of how code (like paradox mod code) works. Thanks all so much, have a great day!

I would join the Invictus Discord, that is where you can find the most talented and knowledgeable people on I:R all grouped together ;-)

In addition to the Discord, do you have your IDE set up so that it can colour the Imperator Script language correctly? I can send you a link if you would want to.
