}

i always get a command not recognized error on the following line

control = { province = 187 data = GER }

also will this event give Russia 10 militia divisions?
 
If you wanted to add the
at war = yes (Ger) replace it and say at war = yes # GER

the game will ignore # GER and just continue.

Replace it with:

atwar = GER

No.

"when =" specifies the model, not the number:

command = { type = add_division which = [name] value = [div type] when = [model]
where = [brigade type] }

ok thanks it works now :) but will the event fire everytime 1 of the provinces are taken or only when all of them are taken?

Hi,

it looks interesting... When are the conditions checked? every 24 hours?

And another question, are the contents of the events.txt loaded only when the game load? I mean, if I modify an event, after 24 hours the NEW event is fired or the old one? (so I can ALT+TAB and edit and not save+reload everytime)

Thanks

No, its only loaded when you load the game. no alt+tab modifing
 
atwar = Yes = GER

Are you sure this works? I have never seen a trigger configured thus.

For any one province you need use an OR command.

But this would either constantly fire if persistent and the germans occupy only one of these or only fire once, not every time the next has been taken

That is true, but I was not particularily concerned with the logic of the event. ;)

Just answering the question.
:cool:
 
Get rid of the persistence; any random event is automatically persistent.
The event will trigger anything from never to a couple of times a year when the conditions hold true, once the errors are removed.
Unless you have added the model yourself, there is no militia model past the 1946 model, so something will go wrong there.

Please use the code tags in the future to preserve indentation.

You have a keen eye!

Use 'random' setting much? It sounds very useful if that never to a couple times a year holds. Sounds like 'fate'.

I like 'fate' when making a mod.
:rofl:
 
It will depend very much on how many random events are eligible for the nation in question (and possibly how many of those are eligible for other nations aswell - in EU2 a random event can only be queued up for one nation at a time).

For country-specific events, I would prefer a random factor in the trigger.

the scenario will load with that trigger but i dont no if the event will fire cos all i did to test was fire it manually to make sure there was no CTD's etc.

It could just read to the 'yes' and call it good, but since it loads that is half the equation. Using 'yes' in the line seems logically redundant, either to the 'yes' itself or to specificity of GER.
