Can't seem to make character_event work correctly when trying to send it from myself to myself.

So, whenever I create an event or a decision that would send an event from my character to my character, it doesn't fire.

I'm trying to use this basic format to create a decision that will send my character an event:

decisions = { 
sample_decision = {
potential = {
sample_conditions
}
allow = {
sample_conditions
}
effect = {
character_event = {id = sampleevent.0001}
}
}
}

This doesn't fire the event for my character, and I can't figure out why! Is there something I should be using instead of character_event?

Do you have any triggers on the event? You need to match the triggers for it to actually fire. If not the you event is broken in some other way, or it's a hidden event.

The funny thing is, If I move it to another file, or give it a different namespace, it fires perfectly! It just doesn't seem to like the one I gave it :O

If moving it to a different file fixes it, that sounds like one of the events before it has a missing or extra brace. You can confirm this by trying to run the event from the console - if it says the event doesn't exist, that's evidence of bad bracing. You can also confirm this by running your mod through the validator, which will report a syntax error

I thought that too! But the event before it (.5) is simple enough that I can be sure the bracing on it is fine, and it runs fine. The event immediately before it is quite complicated (.4) but .5 wouldn't run if .4's bracing was bad, would it?
