OK, what's wrong with...

[TheLand]

So, any ideas why this event crashes the game, while none of the other dozen or so in the same string cuase problems?

### religious bonus
province_event = {

	id = 20553

	option = {
		name = "Great."
		add_province_modifier = {

						duration = 1000

}

And yes, the modifier is defined:

pious_prov = {
	local_religious_prestige = 0.2
}

I think it's missing a closing brace for the option tag, unless you just missed copying it.

 

[Battlecry]

Also, there's should be a space between "stability = #" and the brace in the first three modifiers for the MTTH. Although I don't think this would make the event crash, it would make those modifiers fail.

 

[TheLand]

OK, it's the return of the "Senior moments of TheLand" thread.

Today's special star prize goes to who can tell me what's wrong with this file...

 

[unmerged(1645)]

Hi TheLand, two possible problems. One of which would be severe...

The minor one: In my experience modifiers need to be introduced as follows:
add_province_modifier = { name = "modifier" duration = x } (based on EU3 and Rome's country modifier command).

The major one: while add_province_modifier was a valid effect in EU3, I find no use of it in the vanilla EU Rome event files. Maybe it's not enabled in this game?

D'OH!!!

Yes, that would be the problem. Thankyou!

Luckily, I can confirm that province modifiers do work in Rome. Indeed, I had even managed to format them correctly in another half-dozen files I was working on. ;-)

And once more....

Why does the first of these work fine but not the second one?

Try:

}

 

[TheLand]

So I had an extra brace in, yes?

Thank you!!

 

[Jusi]

Yes, in it there was a problem...

 

[TheLand]

Once more with feeling

And another attempt from me at using the forums as an event-parser.

This one appears to trigger fine, but gives me the "blank dialogue screen" problem.

country_event = {
	id = 20112
	
	trigger = {
		any_owned = {
			has_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
			not = { culture_group = THIS }
			is_capital = no
			civilization_value = 55
		}
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 240
	}
	
	title = "Too many privileges..."
	desc = "People in one of our provinces are rather too accustomed to having their own way about everything."
	
	option = {
		name = "We'll see about that."
		random_owned = {
			limit = {
				has_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
				not = { culture_group = THIS }
				is_capital = no
				civilization_value = 55
			}
			clr_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
			remove_province_modifier = full_citizens
			set_province_flag = imperial_province_flag
			add_province_modifier = {
				name = imperial_province
				duration = 150000
			}
		}
	}

}

 

[TheLand]

I am particularly confused because rewriting the event for a province seems to make it work fine.

province_event = {

	id = 20112
	
	trigger = {
		has_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
		is_capital = no
		civilization_value = 55
		owner = { not = { culture_group = THIS } }
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 240
	}

	title = "Too Many Privileges"
	desc = "The people of $PROVINCENAME$ have been getting their own way about everything for too long."
	
	option = {
		name = "We shall see about that."
		clr_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
		remove_province_modifier = full_citizens
		set_province_flag = imperial_province_flag
		add_province_modifier = {
			name = imperial_province
			duration = 150000
		}
	}

}

 

[Battlecry]

I'm not seeing "any_owned" in the triggers list, so maybe try "any_province" and then the "owned_by = THIS" limit.

Have you ever used "any_owned" before (successfully)? I'm not sure I've seen this.

That would be the problem. any_province in triggers, random_owned in effects.

Thankyou!

 

[Jusi]

Ok, try:

country_event = {
	id = 20112
	
	trigger = {
		has_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
		not = { culture_group = THIS }
		is_capital = no
		civilization_value = 55
	}
	
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 240
	}
	
	title = "Too many privileges..."
	desc = "People in one of our provinces are rather too accustomed to having their own way about everything."
	
	option = {
		name = "We'll see about that."
		random_owned = {
			limit = {
				has_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
				not = { culture_group = THIS }
				is_capital = no
				civilization_value = 55
			}
			clr_province_flag = full_citizen_flag
			remove_province_modifier = full_citizens
			set_province_flag = imperial_province_flag
			add_province_modifier = {
				name = imperial_province
				duration = 150000
			}
		}
	}

}

In it a problem, any_owned = { }
I think, this trigger used only in answers...

Edit: Hm, I shall agree with battlecry, whether it is used in general by game?, I too did not see this trigger in a manual...
