Modding Tip: Persistent Holidays

[Limith]

Ever want an event to mark the 4th of July (Kaisserich)? Independence Day? Or some royal birthday every year, but don't want to write one for each year? The following code will do that for you.

    persistent = yes
    trigger = {
	and = {
		day = DAY
		not = { day = DAY + 1 }
		month = MONTH
		not = { month = MONTH + 1 }
	}
    }

    date = { day = DAY month = MONTH year = SCENARIOSTART }
    offset = 1 #Must be 1!
    deathdate = { day = DAY month = MONTH year = SCENARIOEND }

Pretty cool. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I remember The Historical Stony Road mod had a Christmas event for some countries that would fire every year and reduce dissent by one. More importantly, I'm pretty sure it had an Afrika Korps. event too
