How to create an event that is not triggered by a date or an other event ?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create that kind of event :

- There are three triggers

trigger = {
exists = ARA
war = { country = USA country = CSA }
belligerence = { country = CSA value = 10 }

}

But I just want those triggers as triggers... I mean I am able to make this event work only if it is triggered by one date or an other event. This means that only at one particular moment is event does work. If the country (here CSA) does have all the conditions validated at an other moment than a specific date nothing happens...

I tried lots of combitions with random commands,offset, etc... I can't find how to make this work the way I wish it does...

Does anyone have an idea please ?

I'm a dummy with this stuff, but couldn't you get around that by setting a trigger date as say 01 Jan. 1936 and using an offset of 1 (or 7 or whatever). That way it would keep checking every offset until the event conditions were met.

I think there might be another problem, though. If you did get this event to fire wouldn't it just keep firing over and over again as long as the conditions were met? Seems to me you'd need a part of the trigger preventing it from firing once the USA and CSA were at war.

Thanks for your answer.

Actually I tried exactly that and as I understood it was supposed to work the way you said it... It just didn't and I don't get why...

On the event that continue to fire, well the event is here to make the country with the "ARA" tag inherited by an other country. So once it his inherited, the event can't fire anymore.
