probability events?

[The Swert]

Would it be possible to make one-time-only events which may or may not fire even if triggers are met?

I'm thinking of the use of multiple events with the same triggers and timeframe but using the randomness of offsets to create a probability as to which event fires first and having an action of the first firing event to sleep the other event.

For example, using the Reformation event, could you do something like this:

event = { 

	id = 100
	name = "EVENTNAME101"
	desc = "EVENTHIST101"
	style = 1
	date = { year = 1515 }
	offset = 4000
	action_a = {
			name = "OK"
			command = { type = flag which = 1 }
                        command = { type = sleepevent   which = 12345678 }
		}

	}

event = { 

	id = 12345678
	name = "EVENTNAME12345678"
	desc = "EVENTHIST12345678"
	style = 1
	date = { year = 1515 }
	offset = 4000
	action_a = {
			command = { type = sleepevent   which = 100 }
		}

	}

Would this create a 50% chance of Reformation occuring (the first event) and 50% chance of the second event occuring and thereby sleeping the Reformation event?

The offset you got the wrong impretion of. Offset just means the interval that goes on untill the event will check triggers again. You should do say 5 events like this:

event = { 

	id = 12345678
	name = "EVENTNAME12345678"
	desc = "EVENTHIST12345678"
	style = 1
	date = { year = 1515 }

	action_a = {
			command = { type = trigger which = 12345679 }
		}

	action_b = {
			command = { }
		}

	action_c = {
			command = { }
		}

	action_d = {
			command = { }
		}

	} 

And the last:

event = { 

	id = 12345682
	name = "EVENTNAME12345682"
	desc = "EVENTHIST12345682"
	style = 1
	date = { year = 1515 }

	action_a = {
			command = { type = trigger which = 100 }
		}

	action_b = {
			command = { }
		}

	action_c = {
			command = { }
		}

	action_d = {
			command = { }
		}

	}

It seems i must have. Havard's bible says offset "means that the event may happen on any of these days from the time specified in date" as well as the triggering interval. Since the Reformation has no triggers i figured that for the two events i had, offset would randomly pick a day for each event to fire on out of the 4000 days following Jan 1 1515.

Does your set of events work by using the AI selection percentages; an 85% chance that action_a is chosen?

Hmm.. well then it should work but I just think I read it somewhere.. Maybe not. And yeah my example is for AI.
