Let's say I create a new character named John Smith. He exists as

head of state
foreign minister
land commander
naval commander
tech team

I want to get sure that Smith, when he dies in combat or is assassinated as a minister, dies as minister, leader and tech team all at once. Is that possible? Is that even true for in-game characters? Will Heinz Guderian the tech team and Heinz Guderian the minister die when Heinz Guderian the leader dies?
 
Haven't played USSR with AOD yet, but it was doable earlier in Armageddon during the great officer purge. Maybe you could check how it's done with Alksnis, who is a minister, a tech team and a leader.
 
Do you talk about specific leaders who will always die due to that event or about random ones?

Alksnis is a specific minister/leader/tech team that always dies. I checked the USSR.txt file and it's done one by one. So there's one death event for minister, one for leader and one for tech team.

I think the random event only removes the leader. At least I haven't seen any file where these different roles or ID numbers are "linked" together. BTW in which file is the random leader death event located?

Whenever I assassinate a minister, all the other ministers with the same name do get assassinated too (or is it same picture?). I'm not sure about tech teams, but I doubt random combat events and events kill all five.

Some kind of unified ID system would need to be implemented, or any data who uses the same picture would die simultaneously.
