Need help getting an event to start

[LiamRiordan]

I wish to contribute to the Kaiserreich mod in my way, though my coding skills are low. I can make simple events but I'm having trouble with triggers and errors in events that rely on others to fire before them.

Here is the broken code:

#############################
#  Draft Flavour events for Internationale Nations
#############################

    event = {
        id = 1500001
        random = no
        country = ENG
        picture = "artist"
        date = { day = 1 month = January year = 1937 }
        offset = 365
        deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }
        
        
        trigger = { headofstate = 1187 } #Niclas Y Glais
                
            event = { id  = 100012 days = 365 } #Authomnists Majority
                name = "The British National Culture Festival"
                desc = "With the Authomnists in power in the Union, they have begun to promote cultural events for the Home Nations of Britain, such as the Eisteddfod in Wales.  Britain has a long and coloured history, and the planners wish to show it all, including that of the Monarchy.  With the nation freeing themselves of the Royalists, it may become problematic to display their history along with our new culture."
                action = {
                    name = "Promote the event, with the Monarchy history!"
                    ai_chance = 35
                    command = { type = money value = -100 }
                    command = { type = supplies value = -400 }
                    command = { type = dissent value = -2 } #some appreciate the total British history, though the revolutionists aren't too pleased.
                    command = { type = relation which = CAN value = 25 } #can be seen as reconciliary towards royalists
                    command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -50 } #French aren't pleased with royalist history being on show
                    command = { type = relation which = SCO value = 30 } #If Scotland is independant
                    command = { type = relation which = U17 value = 30 } #If Wales is independant
                    command = { type = domestic which = freedom value = 2 } #government is more open to other influences
                    command = { type = domestic which = defense_lobby value = -1 } #more peaceful lobby is promoted
                    command = { type = belligerance value = -1 } # possible because they seek peace?
                    }
                action = {
                    name = "Promote the event! For the Home Nations!"
                    ai_chance = 45
                    command = { type = money value = -80 }
                    command = { type = supplies value = -350 }
                    command = { type = dissent value = -6 }
                    command = { type = relation which = CAN value = -5 } #can be seen as reconciliary towards royalists
                    command = { type = relation which = FRA value = 10 } #French aren't pleased with royalist history being on show
                    command = { type = relation which = SCO value = 80 } #If Scotland is independant
                    command = { type = relation which = U17 value = 80 } #If Wales is independant
                    command = { type = domestic which = freedom value = 1 } #government is promoting Union cultures openly
                    }
                action = {
                    name = "Cancel the event this year, horrible weather"
                    ai_chance = 20
                    command = { type = dissent value = 6 }
                    command = { type = domestic which = freedom value = -1 } #assumes Authomnists are not open after all
                    }
                }
            }

This is an event for the Authomnists in the Union of Britain, or in a way the 'Pacifists' of the Union in my mind, and I wish to give them some non-war events that may make the game more interesting without resorting to war.

I'm being told its an error with the triggers in the KR forums, but replies for aid is slow since attention is diverted to a new addition in planning.


I plan on making more events, but I need to get this one right so I can see where I'm going wrong and learn from it. I may try to make it as a decision event in the future rather than relying on offsets.


Help?

"event = { id = 100012 days = 365 }"

I dunno but shouldn't that be in the trigger brackets? In other words:

trigger = {
headofstate = 1187
event = { id = 100012 days = 365 }
}

Ah that was the problem! That and the incorrect belligerence command! Thank you so much! Time to get coding!

 

[LiamRiordan]

Apologies for the double.

OK, here is my first ever event chain that mostly works. (I'm crying tears of joy inside).

                }
            }

Now, what isn't working is the event where Scotland and Wales (U17) do not get their respective events firing. Events 1500003 & 1500004.

Also after that test I realized that Canada can be conquered... so I added a new trigger to the 1500002.

trigger = {
        headofstate = 45140 #H.R.M Edward VIII
                        }

For some reason that kills the game on the spot when I use that as Canada. I'm stumped.

Maybe it has to do with no offset? if there is a date and and a death date isnt the offset required ?
