why is this event giving me an error?

[unmerged(42223)]

i will change it when i get home but i dont no how it even got there cos i copied & pasted what blue emu said
also how would an or trigger work?

following the

OR ={
a
b
c
d
e
}
when any one of a, b, c, d, or e are true.

 

[unmerged(54975)]

so if i did

or {
control = { province = 187 data = GER }
control = { province = 238 data = GER }
control = { province = 175 data = GER }
control = { province = 248 data = GER }
control = { province = 258 data = GER }
control = { province = 253 data = GER }
control = { province = 163 data = GER }
control = { province = 154 data = GER }
control = { province = 1907 data = GER }
control = { province = 1372 data = GER }

-------------------------------------------
the event would fire everytime GER captured 1 of the above provinces? (i no its not set out perfectly)

 

[unmerged(58571)]

No, it would still fire randomly none to a couple of times a year (assuming the trigger conditions are true when it tries to fire).

Btw, I am not entirely certain a random event respects a country specification.

 

[unmerged(54975)]

so is there anyway to make an event fire say within 1week of province x being captured?

 

[unmerged(58571)]

date = { year = 1936 }
offset = 7
deathdate = { year = 1999 }

You will have to remove the "random = yes" line for this to work.

and again: if you want it to fire once for each of the provinces you should use one event for each province IMO.

ok theokrat i took your advice and made i single event for each province but they dont fire here are 2 samples

}

to test the events i started a '41 campaign as GER use fullcontrol to move Russia's armies moved my troops to all of the provinces and then loaded as Russia and waited till the event fired but after 0ctober 42 i gave up. any idea y they are not firing?

1. You still have "atwar = Yes = GER" in your trigger.
2. You still do not have a date, offset and deathdate.
3. Are you sure you want these events to be persistent?
