BUG: Event 1012 - Doesn't Function

Event 1012 - Doesn't Function

The following event obviously doesn't work because the command is commented out. However, when it's corrected with the command shown in the events command.txt file and the command is changed to:

command = { type = gain_tech which = -1 }

The console says that commands from the 'A' list cannot be called.

Just wondering if that was just left out to be implemented later or if there was something we could do to 'quick-fix' it.

event = {
id = 1012
random = yes
trigger = {

}
name = "EVT_1012R_NAME"
desc = "EVT_1012R_DESC"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "OK"
#command = { type = get_tech which = -1 }
}
}

Well I'll be damned. I will let someone know further up the chian of command.

The quick-fix would be to un-comment the line.

 

[gauffa]

Yeah, but...

I had tried that already and when the event occurs or I force it with the console the box for the event pops up and disappears just as quickly. You never get the option to click on the 'OK' box so it never takes effect.

Quite an interesting little bugger. I'm open to other suggestions.

Paradox's team of infinite monkeys has been taken off producing the complete works of Shakespear to look at this problem. It will be solved sometime soon.

Is it possible, if the soultion lies in the event script, to have the solution posted so that we don't have to wait for a patch.

Thanks in advance!

As near as I can tell the problem lies with this line

command = { type = get_tech which = -1 }

If a work around presents itself I will let you know.
