Looks fine to me. I assume you declared your namespace as appropriate in your event file. Also, if you did want a check for it to not happen to AI characters, you'd need to add
ai = no.
narrative_event = {
id = greco-norman_events.2
desc = "EVTDESCgreco-norman_events.2"
title = "EVTTITLEgreco-norman_events.2"
picture = "GFX_event_beach_landing"
only_independent = yes
only_capable = yes
prisoner = no
has_character_flag = is_hector
trigger = {
NOT = { year = 1067 }
NOT = { has_character_flag = estranged_brothers }
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
days = 1
}
immediate = {
set_character_flag = estranged_brothers
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTAgreco-norman_events.2 #Makes offer to Roland
ai_chance = { factor = 90 }
c_malta = {
holder_scope = {
character_event = { id = greco-norman_events.3 }
}
}
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTBgreco-norman_events.2 #No
ai_chance = { factor = 10 }
}
}
#Roland responds to offer
character_event = {
id = greco-norman_events.3
desc = "EVTDESCgreco-norman_events.3"
picture = "GFX_event_beach_landing"
is_triggered_only = yes
trigger = {
NOT = { year = 1067 }
NOT = { has_character_flag = estranged_brothers }
}
immediate = {
set_character_flag = estranged_brothers
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTAgreco-norman_events.3 #No
ai_chance = { factor = 10 }
any_sibling = {
limit = {
has_character_flag = is_hector
}
show_scope_change = no
add_rival = ROOT
}
}
option = {
name = EVTOPTBgreco-norman_events.3 #Yes
ai_chance = { factor = 90 }
c_napoli = {
holder_scope = {
any_courtier = {
limit = {
is_female = yes
is_married = no
}
add_spouse = ROOT
}
}
}
}
}
[\code]In .2, you should put a check in the trigger for Malta's holder to be Roland, and for him to be both unmarried and adult.
NOT = { year = 1067 } means, I'm pretty sure, that this event will only fire if it's before that year. Not during, and not afterwards. Just checking, in case you wanted it to be possible after that year too.war_with as a sanity check in the trigger, so that this event doesn't fire if Hector and Roland are at war with each other. Alternatively, you could allow it, but add in a command to end the war with a white peace if the bride is accepted.trigger block, assuming it's only ever called from .2.any_courtier to random_courtier, otherwise, all eligible females will be married to him. (The documentation indicates that add_spouse ignores the spouse limit, and thus can make someone a polygamist even if their religion wouldn't allow it.)is_adult = yes into your limit block for the bride.create_character to rectify that.
I followed your advice and added to the event chain, but it seems to stop working after event 3
You're still missing the
is_adult = yes check for brides.{ bracket right beneath the name line. You should always run things through Validator, it's quite good at catching errors like that.I eventually managed to make the marriage work, but I realized it was too complicated for what I wanted the event to achieve. I arranged it so that the offer to the brother would legitimize them in exchange for them becoming his vassal and, in the process, creating a new duchy.
Not an easy way, as far as I know. However, AI will usually keep demesne holdings so long as they're not above their max, so you might be able to write an event that fires for rulers and checks if they're below their max demesne size and does something to grab more holdings (revoke baronies, etc). Just mind that it might be a tad expensive on processing power, firing for every (Count and above) ruler, depending on how often you fire it.
