Event help

[Amartus]

Hi there

I am trying to create an event / events that will go through ai minors deleting ground units when they are at peace:

event = {
	id = 2233509
	persistent = yes

	trigger = {
		and = {
			ai = yes
			major = no
			atwar = no
				not = {
					country = BUL
					country = FIN
					country = GRE
					country = OTT
					country = U08
					country = U09
					country = ROM
					}
			}
	}

	date = { day = 10 month = january year = 1920 }
	offset = 15
	deathdate = { day = 10 month = january year = 1939 }

	name = "Unit control"
	desc = "Unit control"

	action_a = {
	name = "Unit control"
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
	}
}
event = {
	id = 2233510
	persistent = yes

	trigger = {
		and = {
			ai = yes
			major = no
			atwar = no
				not = {
					country = BUL
					country = FIN
					country = GRE
					country = OTT
					country = U08
					country = U09
					country = ROM
					}
			}
	}

	date = { day = 10 month = january year = 1920 }
	offset = 15
	deathdate = { day = 10 month = january year = 1939 }

	name = "Unit control"
	desc = "Unit control"

	action_a = {
	name = "Unit control"
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
	}
}

Above is what I have done so far. Two events that are supposed to trigger for ALL ai minors in peacetime with the exception of the ones listed and delete their ground units. They are not triggering however, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me why?

Many thanks in advance,
Amartus

 

[^_AC_^]

wher did you put these events? Maybe they are not loaded in that scenario.

 

[Amartus]

I put them in the "U50 - Hedjaz" events file in the 1914 events folder.

 

[^_AC_^]

Do they fire manually?

Also, remember that not country-specific events are not recorded in history or displayed as fired for other nations.

 

[Amartus]

Hmm. I will try firing them manually. I had nofog on, and could see no evidence of land units being deleted, hence my concern.

You probably want to add another trigger not = { army = 0 } since this event will run (with no effect）even when a country's army is 0.

Sorry, but in order of not spamming this forum with such threads, may I post my own little event problem here?


Well, you see, Germany got crushed in the war. I, as Russia, have destroyed them in the east and have captured Berlin, whilst the only attack into France that they have attempted was a total disaster. So now Germany, now with a "modern" flag is utterly weak. So i thought why not try and make my first Event, that will annex the Netherlands and Belgium into Germany, thus making it a regional power again.
But when I fire the event it simply crashes my game; I don't exactly see where the mistake is as I know nothing about writing events.

So if you don't mind checking this/correcting any mistakes I would be extremely thankful (The event is to be triggered manually.)

event = {
id = 913379
random = no
country = GER

name = "Belgium And Netherlands join the Reich"
desc = "Germany noms the Benelux"
picture = "coastal_fort"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Om nom nom."
ai_chance = 99

command = { type = inherit which = BEL value = 1 }
command = { type = inherit which = HOL value = 1 }
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 1000 }
command = { type = dissent value = -25 }
command = { type = domestic which = defense_lobby value = 1 }

command = { type = relation which = ENG value = -40 }
command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -40 }
command = { type = relation which = ITA value = -40 }
command = { type = relation which = CZE value = -40 }
command = { type = relation which = HUN value = -15 }
command = { type = relation which = AUS value = -15 }
command = { type = relation which = RUS value = -10 }
}
action_b = {
name = "Tummy is full"
ai_chance = 1
command = { }
}
}

First off:
*If you want a manual trigger event via the console, use decisions (although those are buggy, they don't always show up). It would be good to use trigger = { ai = no }
*You don't have a start-date/end-date for the ai to check if the triggers are valid and "execute" the command/event.

I have no idea about the crash. The event seems to be coded fine. Perhaps remove the linebreaks in between the commands.

PS: You don't need action_a and action_b anymore. Just action is fine in DH.

I'll try removing the empty spaces later, maybe it'll help

I thought the mistake was the TAG for Germany - I don't know if all Germany's have the same one

 

[^_AC_^]

German Empire in 1914 uses U08 Tag, but I don't think that's the problem.

You see the German empire has had the "Revolution" and is now it's the Germany with the Black-Red-Orange/Yellow flag

 

[^_AC_^]

That's a flag change, not a TAG change. It's still U08.

 

[Shynka]

Good and bad news in my struggle for events.
Good:
1) The event now fires without crashing the game.
Bad:
1) It happens to me, not U08
2) Nothing happens when i try and run it: event 913379 u08 (I think i'm doing this wrong)
3) When I select option A, it says "Inherit the realms of..." and all the other stuff but I do not get control of the Benelux territories. Neither I get a manpower boost.

I really dont know why

 

[^_AC_^]

Try event 913379 U08 (capital U)

 

[Shynka]

Try event 913379 U08 (capital U)

Tried that as well. Altough the main problem seems to be that the commands dont work, altough they seem correct. Maybe I'll load the Save as Germany and try the event. I could just annex them manually and reload as Russia, but I really want to write my first own event and get it to work

 

[unmerged(189717)]

You see the German empire has had the "Revolution" and is now it's the Germany with the Black-Red-Orange/Yellow flag

It's Black-Red-Gold, my friend.

 

[Shynka]

More like yellow.


Anyway, the event worked - now I need to try some events that are triggered by date/other events so I can really stir up Europe and perhaps North America.
