BUG: KNOWN: English "The Gunpowder Plot" bug with Conversion command

[Aladar]

When the event fires, often no provinses are converted, while being available. I tried fiering the event both manually and loading the game if 1605 as England, as more often that not 0 provinses are converted.

#The Gunpowder Plot#

event = {

id = 3882
trigger = {
NOT = {
OR = {
religion = catholic
religion = counterreform
}
}
}
random = no
country = ENG
name = "EVENTNAME3882"
desc = "EVENTHIST3882"
style = 3

date = { day = 5 month = november year = 1605 }
offset = 30

action_a = { #Punish all#
name = "ACTIONNAME3882A"
command = { type = stability value = 1 }
command = { type = revoltrisk which = 12 value = 5 }
command = { type = domestic which = innovative value = -2 }
command = { type = conversion which = -1 }
command = { type = conversion which = -1 }
command = { type = relation which = PAP value = -100 }
command = { type = relation which = SPA value = -100 }
command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -100 }
}
action_b = { #Punish conspirators#
name = "ACTIONNAME3882B"
command = { type = stability value = -2 }
command = { type = domestic which = innovative value = 1 }
}
}

Not sure if this is considered a bug or not. I believe the "which = -1" parameter just picks a random province in your country, NOT a random non-state-religion province. If that province is already your state religion no conversion will happen.

Are you sure? I mean, the random event Conversion of Heretics ALWAYS converts one province, if that province does not share your state religion. And IIRC, it uses the same parameter.

But, speaking of conversions (i am sorry for posting it here, but it is related with the current thread), the "At the Wall of Paris" event (id 3774), which converts 4 provinces, may convert the same provinces at once. Exactly like the Spanish Bankrupcies, which, may burn the same manufactory in the same province more then once.

I find when I fire that event from the console it does frequently fail to convert any provinces when there are very few wrong-religion provinces in a large empire.

That sounds like another symptom of the same problem; the random province is random across the country. Provinces that are not eligible to receive that command or that have already been targeted in that event are not excluded.

Known bug:

375 : Type: Game Logic | Status: CONFIRMED | Severity: MINOR
When used with a “which = -1” argument the Conversion command is supposed to to choose randomly from owned provinces which do not have the state religion. Actually it chooses randomly from owned provinces and TPs which do not have the state religion. Since the Conversion command is invalid against TPs, it fails if a TP happens to be chosen when the command is in an event, or produces an error "the CommandListA is Invalid" if a TP happens to be chosen when the command is in an event triggered in the cheat console. Thread 209605.
