Help needed on events

[Emp_Palpatine]

Pleaze Allenby, don't kick me because I'm writing a new thread! OUCH.. I'm OUCH.. very sorry... OUCH but I didn't know where I can ask for it...

Some Frenchies I know are working on a mod called HoI 33. It will start in 1933, adding new events , alternate history etc...
They asked me to seek help from the TGW Modders , just because they are nice, beautiful, intelligent and they have also a very good experience on events-scripting.
Here's the problem: their events trigger on the right day (for instance on the 7th of the month), but they all triggered in January 1933!!! Without any concerns on the month during wich they shall happen...

Where can be the problem?

PS: one more time, sorry for posting a new thread...
( :smiley of me protectng his head with his arm because Allenvby will kick me: )

Actually, it's Zuckergussgeback (or however you spell it ) who's the real stickler against new-thread starting...

Perhaps you could post one of the events you're having problems with here so we can have a look at it? Or else provide a link to where you've posted the events.

First thought off the top of my head: are you using the no-time-limit patch correctly? And is the scenario .eug file properly written with the correct start and end dates?

 

[Gwalcmai]

That was what I though of first, but if the events are triggering on the correct day of the month, instead of everything on the first day, the reason could be different.

Emp_Palpatine, are you able to get events in 1936 to trigger on their correct dates, or do they all trigger in january too?

Anyway, if you want help with event scripting maybe you would get extra help in the general modding forum? A lot of good event scripters don't come here, but many will go through the discussions there. There's also a thread for an event editor that Ilkhold created, that might help (I haven't tried it, though). That doesn't mean you can't ask for help here, though.

Anyway, seeing the code would help.

hello & sorry for my little level in english

for the event screep in 1936 we have no problem

for exemple this event turn on at 21 january 1933 and he screpping for turn on at 21 mars 1933

#########################################################################
# ouverture du nouvaux reichstag
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 50007
random = no
country = GER
trigger = {
atwar = no
AND
headofgovernment value = 2
}

date = { day = 21 month = march year = 1933 }

name = "ouverture du nouvaux reichstag"
desc = "ouverture du nouvaux reichstag"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "ouverture du nouvaux reichstag"
command = { type = alignment which = fascist value = 5 }
command = { type = alignment which = communist value = -2 }
command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
}
}

thanks for your answer

 

[Gwalcmai]

Hmm, that "headofgovernment value = 2" trigger doesn't seem to exist. The "value" shouldn't be there, just "headofgovernment = 2".

 

[Gwalcmai]

HOI won't allow that "value = 2" thing, so I guess that's a slight mistake in the copying. But it might have been better if you had used copy/paste, so that any little problem couldn't be missed.

With that code, transplanting that to 21 Feb 1914 it fires on the correct date, not 21 Jan. So maybe there's some problem with the scenario setup?

Will this mod be avaiable in English too ?

 

[Emp_Palpatine]

I don't know Wilhelm, I don't work with the mod's team!
They asked me to ask TGW team because I'm always making publicity (?? it's the right word? or advertising?) on TGW . They thought I was working with you
I know there are Frenchies working on translating the AGCEEP mod into French, so it might be possible to translate this future mod into English.

Publicity And a fine job you do, too.

Is the mod patched with the no time limit mod?

And does the .eug file include something like this:

    startdate = { 
        year = 1933 
        month = january
        day = 1 
        hour = 0 
        }

 

[StephenT]

I can see one things wrong with the event: the triggers.

trigger = {
atwar = no
AND
headofgovernment value = 2
}

won't work: the AND statement is coded wrongly. It needs to be this:

trigger = {
AND = {
atwar = no
headofgovernment = 2
}
}

That doesn't explain why the event happens in January, though... but try it corrected anyway, and see if it fixes things.

Also, shouldn't that be du nouveaux Reichstag, not 'nouvaux'?

 

[Zuckergußgebäck]

The AND in the trigger is defunked(sp?)

It should look like this:

AND = {

Plus, you doesn´t need the and there at all, AND = { is only used to end the NOT = { part of the trigger, but it isn´t needed when atwar = no is used.

(And please do not start new threads )

EDIT: Beaten...

 

[Emp_Palpatine]

Gosh...
You're right StephenT!!!
They spelt it in a wrong way! That's "nouveau" (There is no X as it is when it's the plurar)
I hope there is someone that will correct the spelling in their mod! I'll ask them...


PS: sorry for the new thread...

I see. Well, next time a version is released, I shall pick up my dilapidated secondary school bilingual dictionary with some of the pages missing and adorn the place with my pidgin French.
