Can someone explain this event to me?

[pedal2000]

I am looking at the Vichy Event for 1.05 -

It says:

NOT = {
OR = {
year = 1942 # Year < 1941
event = 2021
war = { country = GER country = SOV }
puppet = { country = VIC country = GER }
puppet = { country = FRA country = GER }
}
}

I get the "War"/Puppet part - but the "year= 1942" confuses me. Does that mean '42 is the latest it will fire, or will it fire until '42? :wacko:

If I'm not mistaken it means that the event can only fire before the year '42.

The other way round.
One of the alternative triggers consists in the year being equal or past 1942.

So basically, it will fire until Dec 31st of '42?

Here is a quote of the entire Event, I am just wondering under what circumstances it will not function.

I know if they're at war with the USSR, or some of the puppet (at least vaguely)

event = {
id = 2021
random = no
country = GER

trigger = {

control = { province = 56 data = -1 } # Paris
lost_national = { country = FRA value = 25 } # At least 25% of national provinces lost

OR = {
random = 25
lost_national = { country = FRA value = 40 }
}

OR = {
control = { province = 320 data = FRA } # France controls Vichy
control = { province = 320 data = GER } # Germany controls Vichy
}

war = { country = GER country = FRA }
NOT = {
OR = {
year = 1942 # Year < 1941
event = 2021
war = { country = GER country = SOV }
puppet = { country = VIC country = GER }
puppet = { country = FRA country = GER }
}
}
}

name = "EVT_2021_NAME"
desc = "EVT_2021_DESC"
style = 0
picture = "VIC"

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 3 # Check for trigger conditions every three days
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 }

action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME2021A" # Set up French Puppet Government in Vichy
ai_chance = 99
command = { type = trigger which = 2800 } # FRA
}
action_b = {
name = "ACTIONNAME2021B" # Total conquest is preferable
ai_chance = 1
command = { }
}
}

it means a totally different thing with the NOT = { above
it can only trigger from 36 to dec 41

Right, that is what I meant with my previous post(including the NOT = {, which was in the OP's original post).

Yes you were right, sorry I was tired
