Could Someone Write me an Event?

[BeardedHoplite]

I'm currently playing a Commune of France in Kaiserreich game and I'm invading Hungary. I got a flag I want to use for the syndicalist Hungary puppet and I curious how to make an event that changes their flag. I know there is a command = { type = setflag which = }, but it looks like that changes the flag of the country that makes the decision. So it looks like I need something that sets Hungary's flag as the Syndicalist one I put in the game files.
Thanks.

You just write an event and trigger it via console with
event <ID> <TAG>

Also, what you want is

type = flag_ext where = TAG [which = "string"] # where ・change flag of TAG; which  - add that string to flag/shield/counter name and skin folder; use empty string ("") or no skip to clear.

This can be used for other countries as well. setflag is really setboolean

(It would be good if we had setvar to be honest....)

Let's say I understood about %20 of what you said. Would you mind running it by me again? I'm sorry, the most modding I've done is replacing existing flags and a little mucking around with leader files.

event = {
	id = #REPLACE ME!
	random = no
	
	# Triggered
	
	name = "Flag Replacement"
	desc = "This is a generic event."
	
	#picture = ""
	style = 2

	action = {
		command = { type = flag_ext where = TAG which = "_FLAGTAG" }
	}
}

Replace tag with the country you want and _FLAGTAG with the flag extension (the flags should be named shield_TAG_FLAGTAG.bmp and flag_TAG_FLAGTAG). Fill the above with your own triggers or trigger it ingame via the console (f12) and typing event <ID> <COUNTRY_TAG>

Thank you. Sorry for being a little dense.

Not really, I was a lost sheep for quite a while before I got the hang of modding.

There's still some stuff I'm not an expert at and have to test personally in game to be honest.

Glad to be of help.
